Several concerned FrontBurnervians have passed along this Gawker item: Fred Baron, known most recently for his involvement in the John Edwards scandal, was diagnosed with final stage multiple myeloma. Biogen makes an antibody that doctors believe to be an exact match to Baron’s tumors. The CEO of Biogen has said no, despite pleas on Baron’s behalf from the likes of Lance Armstrong, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and others. Baron’s son Andrew has written an open letter to the Biogen CEO, hoping to change his mind before it’s too late.
Update: According to Andrew’s Twitter feed, his father got access to the drug in question. Continued best wishes to the Barons.
