UPDATE: An Esteemed MD Has Called The Biogen Approval We Mentioned This Week "The Worst He's Seen" -- So, He Resigned.

And now a total of three FDA Advisory Panel members have resigned in protest over the approval which ignored the nearly unanimous medical panel's advice, according to the New York Times.

I may have to write more -- again, here over a decade later -- on these rather appalling so-called "accelerated" approvals at the Commission level -- ones that do not require any actual proof of clinical benefit, just post market studies (to gauge whether there is any).

That is precisely the story of Vytorin^®, as well.

Onward -- be excellent to one another.
