All IPIX shareholders are jubilant at the exposure and the free govt testing being afforded Brilacidin for use as an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory in response to the coronavirus threat. I admit I am over the roof happy about it.
But as an American citizen, I am incensed at the fact that ABSSSI has been sitting on the shelf for 2 years or more because of $30MM despite the fact that the INH, BARDA, and the regional containment facilities have to have had some knowledge of Brilacidin.
If the intelligence community can sift thru trillions of bits of data per day to gain a glimmer of important data, there has to be some vehicle for the medical community to stay abreast of promising clinical trials for each major arm of medicine needing advancement.
Since there has been NO new antibiotics approved for 30 years or more, either our system is totally BS as to approving new ones or next to nothing is coming down the pike in regards to antibiotics, thus making such a stellar candidate for approval as Brilacidin all the more grossly infuriating.
Now along comes corona virus and the govt wants to IMMEDIATELY throw $2-$10B at it. So the money is there, yet although over 2MM Americans get some sort of virol infection per year and over 23,000 DIE from it yearly, $0 has been the appropriate amount thought necessary to advance the fight against SUPERBUGS.
I know I will get the same BS "we have to go slow so we don't make mistakes" crap spewed by those in charge, but this cover-your-ass attitude isn't doing 23,000 people /year any favors. With the advancement in communications, new bodies of medicine per "de novo" synthetic small molecule drugs (mainly defensin proteins), artificial intelligence, etc a faster pipeline needs to be found. Hell, Brilacidin has already shown it is rock solid safe in many various trials to the mouth, via IV, via enema, via pill to the colon,etc, it works completely thru a new modus operandi which leads to bugs not being able to develop resistance to it, and has beaten in one dose what the leading antibiotic could offer in a week of treatments, and yet it has been given jack-shit help by the govt in getting to being approved for those currently dying for need of it.
Good job, medical community/govt beauracracy, sit on your collective butts and respond only to threats that could possibly cause you to lose votes or guarantees endless years of useless paper shuffling to make sure you don't make a "mistake".
$30MM dollars, most Congressmen wouldn't even consider something this trivial as it is beneath them. Only billions, or now trillions, seem to get their attention.
