What you're suggesting is that when someone has a heart attack, and is put on medication for it, if they then have another heart attack we should blame the medication either because it must have caused the heart attack, or because it didn't prevent one. We should ignore the fact that the patient had a heart condition.
If the medication was intended to prevent another heart attack, then yes, it failed. It's the same when gun control laws are enacted that are said to be intended to prevent "another Sandy Hook" or "James Holmes" or "Columbine High School" incident, and then one of those types of incidents happens anyway. It's evidence that the anti-gun law didn't do what the lawmakers said it would do.
