The author concludes that there should be a general reduction in the pace of bringing new drugs now being tested to the marketplace. This is based on the rule that the introduction of a new drug into the market place should depend on our having a good understanding of its social impact. Our understanding of the social impact of a newly marketed antihistamine, however, is not good.

The author assumes that the social understanding of most new drugs now being tested is not good.

Our understanding of the new antihistamine is not clear. If that level of understanding is better than our understanding of most new drugs, that suggests our understanding of most new drugs is not good.

This doesn’t help establish that there should be a “general reduction” in bringing new drugs to the market.

We don’t know the level of economic success of the new drugs being tested. So, this has no impact.

Chemical similarity does not imply similar levels of understanding concerning the social impact of a drug. Social impact can be entirely separate from the specific chemical makeup of a drug.

We know the antihistamine should not be on the market. But (E) doesn’t establish that this implies most new drugs shouldn’t be on the market. If you think it does, you’re mixing up sufficient and necessary conditions.
