What did the Murph say on the hotline? And was he in cnbc friday and if so what tiime and what did he say? Just trying to figure out is the move was related some to MM or or perhaps still to come. Regarding deaths, you are saying that 0 of 32 (65) would not halt. That O of 62 (135) would not halt. That O of 100(200) would not halt. I really doubt we would have O of 100 anyway, but this IS bpi. I doubt they wouldnt stop it if it was true . Of course you could be right. We are perhaps weeks away. All IMO

<<Hope by now you are aware that even with zero deaths in treatment group the trial would not be stopped until X number of total deaths occurred.>> Is this is true then what you are saying is that the FDA is sitting around waiting for a few more children to die! That's an outrage! As you have said before, George, the FDA should only be in the business of determining safety, not efficacy, of drugs. We should have enough faith in our doctors to let them determine what drugs work best.
