Dr. Pourhassan never ceases to amaze... on an off day and holiday weekend yet, two PRs; an interview on a Saturday evening which should be quite comprehensive from a medical perspective with Dr. Been. Hope he delves deeper into the HIV 'cure' newsmaking development as well as how they made the connection with American Regent and how much more vials of Leronlimab they might help get produced for CytoDyn besides commercialization and distribution... of course updates on end of Covid-19 trials as well as status of peer review and upcoming publishing, BLA for HIV and breast cancer trial... among many other things going on like how Leron and CytoDyn's trials stack up to competitors.

Sure looks like CytoDyn is going all out in getting help for manufacturing and commercializing Leron for Covid-19 (Distributor/Supplier American Regent) so I can't imagine they're doing it all without some indication(s) from the FDA to ramp up and guarantee manufacturing/production... I recall Dr. Pourhassan saying something to the effect, FDA requires and will have to get assurance of production capability.
