A Trump administration decision to repurpose an old chemotherapy drug for autism has surprised many experts — including the physician who recently proposed the idea

The way it has been fastrcked without the normal checks makes me think Trump has a big investment in the company making the drug.

Doesn’t chemo target good and bad cells at the same time? It would only be a slow painful death if you took that medication surely 

Usually, chemo targets fast-growing cells, like cancer cells. Those cells will absorb more of the chemical than slow-growing cells and the chemical will do more damage to them before it has time to break down. This is the reason why people have bad side-effect from chemo. Hair follicles and the lining of your gut also contain fast-growing cells.
