Excellent post Retinadoc. The whole deal with Nissen et al is so egregious. It is a doctor's prerogative to have an opinion about a method of treatment (including specific drugs) and so he/she can decide to exclude it from use with any patient. But to do what Nissen - bash Vascepa - was outrageous because he presented no evidence.

I guess he has become more and more emboldened since his work on Vioxx. There, he and others actually developed the data from actual studies that showed the dangers of Vioxx that the manufacturer was hiding/minimizing/disregarding. But here he had/has no data to back up his contention. He should be entitled to his opinion and he can definitely choose to rely on that opinion with his patients, but he should not have been allowed to destroy Vascepa/Amarin.

So much of that kind of crap is floating around now. Just saying anything you want and it doesn't matter if it is true or not. And virtually no repercussions.
