Pfizer's activist troubles, gene therapy questions, RFK Jr.'s MAHA
ambitions - STAT
Will an activist investor campaign against Pfizer lead to big changes
at the struggling pharma giant? Why are some experts questioning the
regulatory standards used to approve gene therapies for Duchenne
muscular dystrophy? What’s the difference between Novo Holdings and
Novo Nordisk, and will it impact a $16 billion acquisition of
Catalent? And what lies ahead for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Make
America Healthy Again movement?
We talk about all that and more on this week’s episode of “The
Readout LOUD,” STAT’s biotech podcast. In our “Chatty Cathy”
segment, we mull over Starboard Value’s criticisms of Pfizer and
what changes, including the replacement of CEO Albert Bourla, might
lie ahead. We also discuss the impact that Pfizer’s failed gene
therapy in Duchenne may have on other companies developing
next-generation treatments, and noodle over Novo Holdings’
controversial plan to acquire Catalent, one of the world’s largest
contract drug manufacturers.

Donald Trump is closing crazy. Does it matter? For the historical

talked about Arnold Palmers penis size and how Joe Biden actually
likes him better than Kamala Harris. He has made digressions on the
history of paper clips and why teleprompters are stupid and possibly
dangerous. He has suggested that Harris is drinking or on drugs, that
she choked like a dog on The View, and that she is a shit
Vice-President. He has complained that wind power is killing birds and
