ELF's analogy: a dude met his wife as they were both hostages during a bank robbery; if not for the robbery, the two would have never met; however, hell would have to freeze over before the dude thanks the bank robbers for causing him to meet his wife.

My question: should/will FDA somehow reward Amarin for their (FDA's) screw up (allowing ANCHOR SPA prior to RI)?

TTE, I totally agree with you. Dr. Colman asked Mary Roberts to "prevent" instead of "present" in the ADCOM. That action led to unnecessary loss of life, pain and suffering. I would go so far as to say that our subsequent Amarin profits are built on the misfortune of others. If I were one of the 9 panel members who voted against ANCHOR, I wouldn't feel too good about myself.

Hey, climb down off that pulpit sir.

But that's no reason to thank the FDA. Their ill-advised (and perhaps ill-willed) approach cost thousands of lives and a lot of heartache and pain. -Tasty

Don’t be silly. At best the ARR is near 5%. And they aren’t “saved.” What do you even mean by “cost thousands of lives?” The 5% simply live a little longer event free, then event just like the other 95% eventually all will.

There are no winners in this game. Those high risk persons who do good continue to do good a little longer if they take 4g/d of V; those who do evil, do evil longer, because of V. Which is better or worse?

Everything is in balance, both before and after the R-IT study, regardless of the decisions of those FDA members, a number of whom are no longer around.

My sentiments as well. If we were still sittin at 3 I doubt we would be hearing the fda cheerleading...sheesh.
