Scandals such as this one are fueling anti-vax movements. I remember learning about physician who found that a drug was causing a massive increase in heart attacks, informed manufacturer, and was ignored. They went on a smear campaign and he was worried he would have issues finding employment as large hospital networks have connections with pharmaceutical companies. I had an issue with a flouroquinolone antibiotic, many warnings were added by the FDA, but the issue is still underreported and 1 out of 100 doctors would NOT even consider saying those drugs cause issues. Even when it is backed by research. It appears many individuals who suffer from CFS/Fibro/Chronic Pain/Tendonitis/Nerve pain developed it after a treatment. A major problem is that currently there is no test to show flouroquinolones caused the damage and patients may feel normal then get a tendon rupture 8 months later. Look up FQAD if you are curious. I even spoke to a writer of a book about FQs, his wife was suffering from psychosis after levaquin. This happened in 1986. Many flouroquinolone drugs were taken off the market and replaced by new ones. New research suspects some individuals may have genes causing issues removing those drugs from the body and allowing toxic amounts to accumulate. There is some research looking at possible mitochondrial adducts and dysfunction. I think Mayo clinic is also doing some studies to figure out what is causing these side effects which can last for years and then disappear completely.
