Not sure you really are asking a question but, I don't see how that would be a reason.

Was more disturbed by Cacaito implying that the mortality of the 8 thru 11 (12) Glasgow score subjects is know to be low. Wow! How can anyone say that? We are talking about meningococcal sepsis not meningitis. Accept the new media getting confused with meningitis but not a doctor.

Manfred was excellent on the details. Seems to have gotten the larger picture wrong. Why were so many of the kids not accepted into the trial? Not because they were looking for low mortality subjects but rather they could not accept those below Glasgow 8. They took all the high risk and very high risk subjects! And yet Cacaito, for whatever reason uses the fact that 80% of the subjects were high risk Glasgo 8-11(12) to imply management skewed the trial for low mortality!

O.K. to hate XOMA. I have come close, and guess that makes it o.k., but to distort the facts is something else.

Think Manfred would have reached the conclusion to sell anyway, so probably no harm done to him. Funny thought process for one who proclaimed the the scientific method.

1. First we must determine if what you say it is true.
2. You'r right management, sucks!
3. I have sold my position.

Seems someone forgot to determine if Cacaito's facts were indeed true.
