Hi Mark-

I listened in on an interview with Chiron's CEO and he staggered out a denial of aquiring CEPH. This interview took place last week.

It looks to me that someone is trimming the fat on Cephalon's businesses for a future buyout. If we are to believe that Chiron will buy Cephalon, but the buyout would result in excess manufacturing capacity, then it would seem smart to sell the plant to NVX before making the announcement. This way there is no overlap if it took place.

I don't know anything about NVX's pertussis vaccine, but i do know that Chiron's vaccine has many benifits from current vaccines on the market now. On top of this, Chiron now has excellent distribution in Europe of their vaccine products through their 49% interest in Behringwerke Vaccine (now known as Chiron Behring GmbH & Co.)

The plot thickens...

nate.
