Your take is that the CK explanation was the result of a post hoc analysis?

I don't think blinding should have included blinding of CK results as that is a measure of methods, not results. If CK data was blinded then somebody botched the design. If it wasn't then even a casual look at the data should have suggested something was wrong with drug delivery.

There no magic in the whole im/ck stuff...you traumatize muscle when you inject into it and so ck leaks out.

If it's data mining they've found one hell of a vein. It's not like they stumbled on a subpopulation of club footed Caucasian males under the age of forty and yelled Eureka!

This doesn't excuse their incompetence in the long needle/short needle gaffe, as Tuck put it.

Motley Fool's take on this includes a derived calculation of decrease of flu symptoms that is less than the company's, but still better than Tamiflu's . . .
