Good afternoon, good people,
Ohm, you raise the ultimate question that can be asked of this entire fiasco called "FDA management and response of and to COVID-19". To wit: "if ordinary citizens don't hold the government accountable then who will?"
This is the ONLY question that matters at the moment- to shareholders, citizens of the United States, and suffering patients of COVID-19 the world over. Most everyone following Cytodyn and LL by now 'knows' 3 key pieces of information that are as irrefutable as irrefutable can get:
1. The drug is extremely safe and poses little to no harm
2. The drug has shown "benefit" in a particulary vulnerable subset of critical COVID-19 patients whom for which there is currently NO AVAILABLE approved therapeutic ANYWHERE
3. The FDA did NOT allow a 4 dose regimen as the company and its medical officers REQUESTED and was instead guided to an allowed only a 2 dose regimen that ended at day 14. Gilead and Lilly suffered no such restrictions that the public has been made aware of
These 3 pieces of information are not just damning to the ongoing credibility of the FDA but call into question whether or not the FDA has committed malfeasance. This term (malfeasance) is not one I use lightly but 'if the cap fits, then let them wear it'. (Hat tip The Legend, Bob Marley)
Therefore, Ohm, your question is THE question.
A wise man once said, if you want to get to the bottom of things "follow the money". Look who benefitted from keeping LL off the market. Then, look who agented that action. The FDA made no such effort to rebuke or reprise the makers of hydroxychloroquine, nor companies such a Gilead nor Eli Lilly, whose drugs proved woefully ineffectual and in some cases proved injurious to those taking them. This leads to one undeniable conclusion: the FDA is (has been) severely compromised during this year and half sojourn in all matters COVID-19. By whom and for whom is not my concern, the point is the agency can no longer be trusted to do its job. Our government is built on a series of checks and balances, with the ultimate check being the people and our right to vote and discuss amongst ourselves FREELY via our FREE speech within FREE assembly or within a FREE PRESS.
Let us for the sake of argument (of which this board heavily traffics) posit that via kleptocracy or sheer regulatory capture the FDA no longer suffers under the burdens of normal constitutional checks and balances, then what relief if any does Cytodyn and LL have?
Good people, let me share with you the marvel of 21st century Ameican style unfettered capitalism's most ingenious if not corrosive product: The Market.
The Market is our ultimate salve and imho the answer to Ohm's ultimate question. We are a public company whose shares are everyday FOR SALE on the open market even if our only product is not. This morning we learn that Pfizer and ...drumroll please ... AstraZenca's vaccines have proven effective against the Indian strain of COVID-19. This is a SIGNIFICANT development because we now have the possible entrant of a NON US BASED behemoth of a rival to the 2 US based duopolists of the SOC COVID-19 vaccination. Will Astra Zenca sit idly by and watch the defecto primary COVID-19 theraputic go unexploited? Will Merck sit idly and dump billions more into R&D while batting .000 thus far in the great game of International COVID-19 moneyball???
Our Top Line CD12 report is now public record.
This came AFTER the FDA's public puke on Cytodyn.
Imho, the only question that really remains after this last week and this morning's India AstraZeneca news is "how much?" and is that in "cash or stock"?
The FDA is big, yes but no entity, not even sovereign nations, are bigger than The Market.
The FDA has signaled to the entire table just how weak a hand they have had and it's my opinion that weak play is ALWAYS punished. That's why billionaires are billionaires and why bureaucrats are bureaucrats and why politicians tend to remain politicians. Water finds its appropriate level, much like talent in The Market.
