The only thing more predictable than Nader missing deadlines and promises is the response to those. Every once in awhile, somebody will crossover to the middle, but these missed deadlines become pissing contests among those who think the sky is falling and those who think Nader is "this close" or buy into the next indication being on the verge of an "inflection point" any day now.

I'm feeling pragmatic today, so I am not terribly disappointed at not having a deal here at the end of week 6. I have reached the point where I understand Nader sets timelines and misses. That doesn't mean I buy into his BS and approve of these statements, but I feel as if we could be closer than some think. That said, we do need a deal now instead of waiting for a blockbuster deal We're broke, we're doing micro raises on horrible terms, but we have the potential of changing medicine if we can ever get the damn thing approved and on the market with a good label. If he can't accomplish this very soon, I think he should be replaced if for no other reason than his credibility is next to zero in the open marketplace, and likely in pharma circles or the FDA itself.
