Feuerstein shoots from the hip a lot and makes a lot of mistakes but, in this instance, he is closer to the truth than you are, IMO.
It was indeed the survival data that came up short in the Provenge BLA. The FDA ruled that one trial with a p-value of 0.01 plus one trial with a p-value of 0.33 is not a data set worthy of approval for marketing.
Everything else is a sideshow.
