Survivor's bias. It is really a problem in safety.

But I think that Big Pharma even uses this to make their product seem better. Imagine you have a toxic medicine. If you kill or scare away the weak people, the stronger will remain in your statistics. And those stronger people will be better at surviving infections. This will give you a positive statistical effect, even though the medicine is toxic.
