Dr. Hayden and Dr. Fauci are close associates. They’ve authored research papers together. Dr. Hayden has been active in the Remdesivir trials and vocal in his support of the drug, including stating that Remdesivir will be the standard of care. He is a known consultant FOR Gilead. How did he end up on the three member DSMB for Cytodyn's CD12 trial? That is a major conflict of interest. Committee members are supposed to be free of conflicts:

Conflict of Interest
No member of the DSMB should have direct involvement in the conduct of the study. Furthermore, no member should have financial, proprietary, professional, or other interests that may affect impartial, independent decision-making by the DSMB. Letters of invitation to prospective DSMB and ad hoc members should include the following: "Acceptance of this invitation to serve on the xxx DSMB confirms that I do not have any financial or other interest with any of the collaborating or competing pharmaceutical firms or other organizations involved in the study that constitute a potential conflict of interest." In addition, all DSMB and ad hoc members will sign a Conflict of Interest certification to that effect at the time they are asked to participate. At the beginning of every DSMB meeting, NIDCR program staff or the DSMB Chair will reconfirm that no conflict of interest exists for DSMB members. Interests that may create a potential conflict of interest should be disclosed to the DSMB prior to any discussion. The DSMB will determine how to handle any such potential conflict. The DSMB can require that a member with a potential conflict abstain from voting or take other means deemed appropriate. NIDCR may dismiss a member of the DSMB in the event of unmanageable potential conflict or appearance of conflict.

It’s no wonder Cytodyn didn't get proper guidance from the DSMB.

Here are just a few of the articles containing quotes from Dr. Hayden in support of Gilead:

I'm so glad Cytodyn pivoted to helping other countries. Keep up the good work CYDY.
