USA Today had article that added color to this issue. The article stated that Dr. Nissen fully admitted there was weakness to his review process. The article further pointed out that GSK had put the FDA on notice several years ago that they had data that showed a potential issue.

But as for Nissen, the article pointed out that Takeda's drug was in the same class and that Nissen was running clinic trials on it(Actos). IMO this could be a conflict and take something away from his objectivity.
