Does anyone know if this is an uncommonly high number for a biologic? I might guess this isn't an order of magnitude or anything more than plenty of drugs that aren't experiencing this kind of wild variability and killing and maiming people at these rates. I find it far more likely the variability serves some purpose and isn't a result of component variability. When I worked for a nutracetical company we tested every lot of everything that came in for potency and composition and we faced nowhere near the regulation a drug manufacturer would.
