it could be the FDA moving the goal posts, it COULD also be CYDY not really having the knowledge to give the FDA what it wants. I know we hate to consider that as an option, but the couple of employees still part of CYDY are not really skilled in science
Oh Really? Are you a new investor? You don't seem to know much about Cytodyn.
