My reply to your ridiculous reply to his "ridiculous" reply:
The question to Dr. H was:According to the S1 filing, your study at Mt. Sinai came about due to the postive findings by Dr. Lionel Resnick and Dr. Chinnici. Dr. Resnick does not have a very good reputation in medicine apparently, and he pled guilty to 54 counts of fraud and embezzlement concerning his studies done during the period of time he was making evaluations for ADVR. The results from what was apparently a fraudulent laboratory, Vironics, were used in an attempt to get FDA approval for "R". SInce this has come to light are you in any way suspect of his results and your agreement to pursue a study?
My question was based on fact not wild accusations: Thanks so very much for your warning to me <<What facts do you have to support your accusation that anything illegal was going on? Remember to be very careful about your words on a public forum>>
My question was based on this news release:"AIDS Scientist Accused of Double Dipping"
Science (02/10/95) Vol. 267, No. 5199, P. 779
On Feb. 3, the Miami Herald reported that AIDS researcher Lionel
Resnick resigned from positions at Mount Sinai Medical Center and
the University of Miami after his billing practices came under
scrutiny last year. The Department of Health and Human Services
is investigating allegations that Resnick improperly used a lab
supported by federal research funds to do outside contract work,
netting him at least $250,000. The institutions began
investigating after they noticed that Resnick had requested that
payments for work done at his Mount Sinai lab go to Vironc Inc.,
a business sharing his home address. Resnick's attorney
acknowledged that his client had used his Mount Sinai lab to
moonlight, by doing virology tests for drug companies, for
example. He said, however, that the story has been blown out of
proportion over "an accounting issue," that is, Resnick's
misunderstanding of the government's direct cost reimbursement
rules.
In the S1 filed with the SEC, it gives Dr.Resnicks work on reticulose and his support of the Santo Domingo studies as a reason to continue the study of "r"...hence my question. It is a legitimate question don't you think? In the S1 you will find some questions from the FDA concerning Dr. Resnick's findings and his laboratory Vironic. Read it. |
