The risk of fomivirsen not being approved by the FDA is smaller than was the risk of the advisory panel not recommending it (which was small in the first place). I still don't think it'll be a big deal.

Remember, the 5-2 vote wasn't 5 for approval and 2 against approval. The vote was 7 for approval and 0 against approval. The 2 negative votes were against the first-line-of-defense labelling. They felt the drug should be approved but only as a last-line-of-defense.

Also, I just bought more shares at these bargain basement prices.
