Brian/John greetings,
I agree with the retail packaging being out by spring.
I call and talked with a rep. at Real World Marketing shortly after the announcement was made that they had a deal with them. Sorry I don't remember the name, he told me that they were working on new packaging for the product and that they did hope to have things in place for a roll out by spring. I thought it was good news, but at the time it seemed a long way off. He did also say that they had done some product testing, and that they thought the product was well received. But as you say John, if the company was boxing up thousands of boxes of this stuff for retail stores, you would think they would let us know something.
There is a sentence in that, LONDON (Reuters) news article that I find very interesting.
dailynews.yahoo.com
It says, "A second vaccine has been licensed and is now being distributed."
I find this interesting, because when this drug was first being talked about, there was talk that it also helped stop ear infections in children, but because it was not being tested for that in the trials, that they could not make such a claim. The other interesting thing about it is, if
it really did help stop ear infections. There would not be (any)many Pediatrician in this country who would want to give it as a vaccine. Ear infections are these guys bread and butter.
In Countries that have socialized medicines, they are very much more into preventive health. They are quite willing to pay for medicines that prevent sickness and they do give their children a lot more vaccines than we do. At least that is what I have heard, and from a good source.
Well sorry for the long post, but I would like to find out what they mean by a second vaccine has been licensed, to see why the British would want to give it.
In the mean time I will remain patient, as I sit on the edge of my chair, and hope for good news. |
