Why the WSJ is out to get Dr. Pazdur:

>I agree that the Abigail Alliance is a group that is dangerous as heck. And most WSJ articles about the FDA absolutely stink… But you have to admit that is one of the more reasonable editorials - given the sources.<

Yes—compared to some of the stuff the WSJ has printed in the past, today’s editorial is rather tepid.

A few years ago, an editor from the WSJ’s opinion pages died of colorectal cancer. He had wanted to be treated with Erbitux (which was not yet approved) and was convinced that Pazdur had cut off his access to the only drug that might have kept him alive. The WSJ’s editorial page has been on an anti-Pazdur vendetta ever since.
