It doesn't stop any research at all. A scientist can claim 'fair comment' if they can prove their theory and if their research proves that the drug is safe/unsafe why would they print anything to the contrary?
I've seen quite a lot reported in Private Eye lately about big drug companies "discouraging" research. What they do is threaten authors with the law, in the full knowledge that the other party will not have the means to fight any court action.
