I guess I shouldn't expect too much from USA Today, but it seems like pretty poor reporting to tell us that five people in the study died from side effects, but not say how many people were in the study. It's kind of important.
Edit: Per JAMA, there were 1736 people in the study, 860 of whom received the drug, 5 of whom died from brain injuries caused by the drug either during or following the trial. One patient in the placebo group died from treatment related injures.
