I think Tex was on the mark also. We will see what happens if Neuprex is approved for Meningococcemia. Given the implications for its use in sepsis and that indeed the current trial is considered by many to be a proof of concept for sepsis, there is reason to think you are wrong. Ligands drug also is not designed to save lives. If you think people will not get enthused about a drug that saves more kids you are wrong about that too.

>>the history of share price projections posted on this board can best be described as delusional.<<

I'll accept "best described as wishful," but looking over the total investment landscape and crowd valuations, delusional is hardly applicable, we just don't have the crowd dynamics...yet.

Robert S> and I DO AGREE with you that sepsis is very difficult, and
I DO AGREE with you that it is multifactorial, and I DO AGREE with you that timing will play a role, and I DO AGREE with you that nothing is proven yet. I will say that definative answers ARE coming, whatever they may be. All IMO, All disclaimers.
