To GPSite:
>> Don Francis is the most honest, public-serving, self-sacrificing >> person in public service today. He has never made any $$.
If I look at his picture (see the homepage of Vaxgen), I think he makes a sympathic and may be even a serious impression. I did not say that Francis is lying, I said there is not written everything in the prospectus, who ever wrote it.
But I would not say that he never made $$. In the prospectus you can read that (at this time) he was the second largest stockholder of Vaxgen. He bought about 500,000 stocks for 2 cents each, yesterday they noted at $26. I wish him great success, he deserves it!
>Your information about the phase III trials is wrong. They CAN NOT >change the "ingredients." The current bivalent formulation is the >one they HAVE to go with to the end of the phase III trials. So >there will be no delay.
This is not my "information", it is my guess! True, they cannot change the ingredients for a just existing Phase III trial, but they can make more of these trials. And they even did it!!! They started a second Phase 3 trial in Thailand with a different vaccine: It includes rgp120 derived from a subtype B strain (MN), and also from a subtype E strain (A244).
And my guess is, they will make even more of these trials, made of different strains and different subtypes, to cover the whole spectrum in order to get this vaccine work well.
------- By the way, I am surprised again about all your "insider knowledge". Do you know Francis personally? Are you working at Vaxgen?
I wish a fine day to everyone! |
