I wonder whether the fallout from the Vioxx debacle isn't going to be fairly prolonged. It might cause some investors to question the whole risk/reward characteristics of pharma, and by extension biotech. Certainly to the extent the FDA becomes more cautious that hurts pharma and biotech, in the short run at least.

The Chiron vaccine problems also don't help. And if Lilly loses the Zyprexa patent case then confidence could be really shaken.
