RE FOIA requests.
I understand some of you guys believe the requests are aimed at discovering collusion/conspiracy. Honestly, it will be unlikely for us to find anything of that sort, because it probably doesn't exist. Even if it did exist, I don't think in the event there is collusion (w/ implied illegal benefit to FDA members in some form or other) the parties involved would communicate it blatantly via official channels. So even if there is real collusion it will likely not be discoverable.
With that said I think the FOIA serves a different and still very important purpose. It is simply a brilliant move by Amarin. Specifically, to understand the playbook/agenda of the FDA ahead of time. Officially, the FDA will only release the agendas of the ADCOM 48 hours prior to the meeting. The FOIA will be able to directly pin down exactly what discussions were had between those parties. If you had analyze Pyr's posts, which I have when I started researching AMARIN in 2018, it would become apparent that he subtly manipulates/distorts truth and cherry picks different aspects of studies to serve his agenda, while purposely dismissing other aspects that run counter to his argument. If AMARIN is able to get a hold of how the detractors were able to distort the interpretation of the REDUCE IT data and specifically what angle/form of attacks they were using, then they would literally have months in advance to build scientifically sound counters to it. Then rehearse that with their representative who will present at adcom.
It is like going to into a match and you already know your opponents' playbook. With the science/truth on their side Amarin will easily dismantle it.
With that said we should compile a scientific refutation of the mineral oil hypothesis.
