WSJ's ed­i­to­r­i­al page puts the blame over Ex­ondys 51 con­tro­ver­sy on in­sur­ers, reg­u­la­tors and re­porters

Through­out its quest to get an FDA ap­proval for Ex­ondys 51, one of Sarep­ta’s most in­flu­en­tial back­ers has been the ed­i­to­r­i­al page at the Wall Street Jour­nal, which loud­ly and an­gri­ly in­sist­ed on an ac­cel­er­at­ed OK. And now that it helped win that fight, the news­pa­per’s ed­i­to­r­i­al group — as dis­tinct from its re­porters — has turned its sights on in­sur­ers who are re­strict­ing cov­er­age as well as the re­porters and reg­u­la­tors they find re­spon­si­ble for the pay­er back­lash.
