Did Pfizer's maraviroc whistleblower delay FDA approval of HIV drug?

By Peter Rost (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments

The WSJ today penned the headline Pfizer Is Dealt Setback On HIV-Drug Approval.

In the article the WSJ wrote about the new drug maraviroc: "Pfizer Inc.'s pipeline was dealt a surprise blow last night, when the FDA delayed the approval of one of its most interesting drug prospects, a new type of medicine for HIV."

The WSJ also said that "The FDA isn't asking for any more clinical trials."

The FDA apparently couldn't be reached for comment last night.

So did the allegations related to illegal premarketing of maraviroc result in this debacle?

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."
