Charles Seife / SRPT:

I am really surprised you'd give this guy credibility! I stopped reading his article the first time because it lacked substance was pure tabloid. Sure you can infer conspiracy in everything if you like! He is just a "journalist" looking to make a story whether or not one exists. I skimmed through his other Scientific America and his style is similar pure conspiracy theory. He conveniently omits real facts like Sarepta's "plunge" caused by AE's and death was clarified as 3 deaths were ALL patients in their 20's I think 1 didn't even receive drug.

Specifically about the kidney issue. His reference is from study 201/202 given those kids are still on therapy its quite the stretch to say the drug caused kidney damage in them!

The choice of Journal alone should raise doubts about an rigor in his "analysis"!
