CBB...QUOTE "Cardiologist goes toe to toe with drug companies - Nov 1, 2005... Dr. Steven Nissen was the first physician to link Vioxx to increased risk of heart attack and stroke."

Dr. Nissen achieved success and notoriety from his successful attack on Vioxx... He is eager to preserve and extend his reputation by attacking other drugs...With the failure of his Strength test, which cost Astra Zeneca over a billion dollars i.e. from their ill advised purchase of Omacor and the subsequent AZ study which failed to show reduction of CVD.

Vascepa,which, to Nissen's consternation, actually succeeded in reducing CVD, looked like a good candidate to attack...in order to restore Nissen's reputation.
