<<The last thing that we need is a gun shy or political FDA. I'm a big believer that FDA has done a good job in recent years. I agree with Peter, however. It will be interesting to see FDA/Corixa.>>

Yes, FDA did rise bar on drug safety. But, is this unexpected? Should they rise only efficacy bar? Should they stick with the *middle edge era* bar for drug safety?

First rule...safety!
Second rule...more safety!
Third rule...even more safety!
Forth rule...efficacy!

Didn't FDA recently approve two drugs with marginal efficacy?

How was possible (in this honest word that we live in!) that FDA was tricked around with Rezulin?

PS: Blaming FDA and luck of commissioner is, for me, unexpected from any SI bio-freaks. Yes, like any government institutions FDA is full of bureaucrats. But, where are angels?
