Interferons don't help MSers?

Could these apparently ineffective drugs (New York Times article) have been approved and promoted to neurologists based upon the kind of drug company chicanery that I talked about in my last post?

I started on Betaseron soon after being diagnosed, but with these kinds of reports about the ineffectiveness of interferons, it makes me wonder if the short term slowdown in the progression of my MS that I saw for a while was really just a natural oscillation in the rate of increase in my symptoms.
