gozips@ From a medical point of view a very informative video on how Covid destroys the lungs (very important information for sure).
-----------------------
As a lay person in bio and medecin I have been most interested in how to 'treat' patients - so the did not end up dead from covid - sars-2.
What is becoming more and more obvious here is that what we used to call 'third world countries' (with big parts of poor populations) in parts of Asia (eg. india) and African nations - have been much better in handeling (treating patients effectively) during this crises.
------------------------
And big part of the answer to 'why is that' - is the simple fact 'That they have used Chloroquine & Hydroxychloroquine - for decades - and 'as soon as they heard that this was effective of course they used this very cheap drug for 'all covid patients'.
So while tens of thousands of patients have died in USA and Europe - because Big Pharma did not want this old 'very inexpensive drug to solve the problem (and Fauci actually using the fact that Trump came to mention the great results from Didier Rault in France - to setup liberal MSM media against the treatment) - the big populations in India and Africa stood a much better chance of surviving the decease - than old sick people in the Western World-
hayward@ A story at the top on Yahoo does not help SP:
https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/05/22/fda-approves-generic-version-of-amarins-blockbuste.aspx
The endless number "very bright analysts" just do love 'Fish Oil' related to Vascepa.
Jasbg
TTE@ Great encouraging and enlightening post.
That's why keep coming back to this board. When the 'brilliant minds' here - 'Have their Moments' - you want to 'listen and learn'.
Jasbg
Irish@ We will pray for your little grandson and family.
What about yourself - you have not been exposed (have to be tested) ?
Jasbg
raf@ I think you just nailed - the 'eternal' question about taking ' additional vitamins' (which I personally have done for + 35 years).
------------------
I worked with plants (agriculture) as one of my fields for big part of my life.
And it is biologi as we humans are' - so I personally have taken a number of the rules 'of making plants grow 'the best' into my ovn way of living - speaking vitamins - minerals.
My father was 'actually educated in these subjects' - i learned from him (I'm autodidact in just about everything - besides electronic).
But a very essentiel thing in learning about plants in agriculture is that - if you take say 20 minerals (NPK fertilizer etc.) it is the 'one mineral that is 'in shortage' - that sets the whole of the potential of growth/health for the plant.
Or to put it another way. You can have a perfekt prepared field for growing a specific crop - if it say' is low on a single (for this plant) important mineral like eg. magnesium, this is what sets the standard for your potential yield for the field.
------------------------------------
I taken this knowledge to my own biologi - and ensured that no 'low' mineral would have the chance to 'set the limit for the rest of the body thriving.
And it have worked Ok til now for me - to take Universal Vitamins - knowing that you maybe only need 'the one' - but which one :)
Jasbg
I'l try to make an explanation - probarbly others here can do it better.
WHY it 'in this specific case' IS ESSENTIAL to separate Vascepa from the endless number of 'Fish Oil' over the counter products - that world population 'knows from local stores'.
The Simple Answer/Explanation Is' - that if you dont very aware 'make this distinction' ALL THE TIME - AND EVERYWHERE - the great product of Amarin will just be considered 'An other Fish Oil';
------------------------------------------
There have been written books about 'why common fish oil' came to be 'what it is today' in general populations (everywhere in the world).
Google link herunder should be enough to understand - WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL - to - NOT BE RELATED - to the jungle of 'over the counter Fish Oils (many who have newer been anywhere near the sea).
https://www.google.com/search?q=fish+oil&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-3pbOiM3pAhWFXhUIHVOYBcEQ_AUoAXoECBIQAw&biw=1912&bih=961
-----------------------------------
Had raw materials of Vascepa - been just about anything else - this would not be an issue - but knowing about the 'thousands' of fish oil products (many fake in every sense of the word) - this is in fact a problem - that it is necessary to address 'Always and Again'.
Jasbg
marjac@ Cant say i disagre with you in this. But i honestly dont think it's going to happen.
We once again will have to wait for 'Judgement Day' - which will hopefully come sooner than later this fall.
Jasbg
HDG@
marjac@
marjac@ As postes I understand your line of reasoning. And probarbly where i most agree with you is - the general lack of 'transparency/openness' towards shareholders.
---------------------
Just for balance I will try to 'see things from Amarins' offices:
Except for the actual Adcom meeting - just about every possible ofstacle has been put on the company 'ever since R-I autumn 2018.
1. The ever long approval proces through 2019 - in fact took all year. And it was very annoying delayed - from august to november in a late call - that completely took Amarins of guard - delaying plans for bigger sales force - and made the timing of the stock emission look hopeless (SP - fell from 24$ - to around 14$).
2. Then 'Finally' FDA approval december 2019 - Hurra ! And Canada - and Super Q4 - now SP will be/must be +30$. But NO' - for every good news SP fell. The stock havely manipulated - all the time kept under control IMO.
3. And lastly 'the Absolut Killer Move by opposition'. The 6 most important patens Destroyed by the judge - some nearly 2 months ago. The one thing that every expert said 'could not happen'.
---------------------------
The truth is that the company - that has developed 'probably the most important 'Saving' drug in History' - is/has been 'haunted' for more than a decade. For every move the have made FDA - Big Pharma - has done everything in their power 'to delay' the succes of Vascepa. And we and Amarin are (as always) stil waiting - for the next barrier to be handled by the company. Again 'delay' - delay'.
-----------------------------------------
Now you could take the rational approach - as you very effectively does - in your input. And from a modern business prospective your are absolutely correct.
But as an old business fighter (been in a number - some won' - some lost') - I do understand the psykologi that must drive JT and other long time leaders at Amarin - not to 'Give the Company away' - after more than a decade of constant fighting for survival.
And you have to admit - 'they stil 'very well' can end up winning big' in the end'. The potential in this product is there - to make it a worldwide succes. They just need a little bit of luck 'Go their Way' (right now meaning have the patents restored in Appeal) - and then 'Peace and Quiet' to develop the Company - something this company until now has newer tried.
Jasbg
Meowza@ Have to apologize for remarks - about trolling ! I simply totally misunderstood the post - sorry for that.
---------------------
HDG is right - this remark was like trolling.
I seem to get a bit paranoid - from all the deleted OT posts - so will try to keep 'on track' - forward.
Jasbg
A very observant member on Yahoo noticed Dr. Fauci making reference to Vascepa on CNBC interview.
Might be a bit of a stretch' but it most likely was Vascepa he was talking about:
About 13 minutes into interview - about Remdeivir trials - and 'other relevant trials for helping fight covid-19.
https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/05/22/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-dr-anthony-fauci.html
Jasbg
Danitd@ Overall this sound s a lot like the VA study - that showed HCQ caused more deaths' among the old VA sick patients.
1. In that "study" they forgot to tell - that it was only patients - just before going on Ventilators getting the treatment.
2. HCQ has to be given 'early' in the Infection to Kill the Virus. If you wait 'and only give it 'Late' - and only to the very sick' - you of course will have - a greater percentage of deaths (as in the VA garbage study).
-----------------------------------
About the VA "Study" -
Hiku@ Another real capacity put in great effort (hours) in Amarin and Vascepa's fight for justice.
Thank You
Jasbg
Graymatter@ What your really saying 'is that USA legal system - 3. branch of government is generally 'corrupt' (you have seen it so many times - you say).
You are saying that not only 9. district judge Du - didn't know 'what she was doing (possibly corrupt in her +7 billion$ ruling) - but the Whole og US law system is rotten.
-------------------
Being from abroad - I have to believe in that - 'in the last FREE Nation in the world - the regulatory sytem is stil Honest and Fair - 'in the end'.
And I have to trust that 'the Appeal that Amarin has filed - must Win for 'Justice be Restored'.
Jasbg
NB. In the end the faith of Amarin in Appeal court 'for me' - will be what makes USA different from Communist China.
If Patens are not Restored - this might as well be happening in China or Russia.
Montana@ Same goes for many of us here' :)
Jasbg
Montana@ This goes for many of us here' :)
Jasbg
TTE@ dmiller often handles himself in a provoking manner - irritated of the attention AMRN keeps getting it seems.
Not sure he actually intends to offend other members.
-------------------------------
Other than that a great post - that hits spot on where most of us are 'right now' - in the serial story of Amarin and Vascepa :)
Jasbg
Inv83@
hayward@ Mostly it is people that argues for a BO that wants JT gone - which is fair enough.
I dont personally hold JT responsable for this company being 'haunted' - I actually do feel that he has done everything in his power - to move the company forward.
But looking at the long history of Amarin - and the endless obstacles - never ending number of lawsuits and legislative work - it does feel like 'BP has done everything possible to keep Purified EPA away from the market as long as possible (Statin Billions).
---------------------
Just take 2019 were 'all year ended up being about Waiting for FDA approval (adcom moved from august til november on very short notice) - all the time SP 'under pressure' by this or the other. And now generics approved in less than 2 months ??
It is/has been uphill - and stil is' for sure - so I do understand people arguing for a Buy Out - just to Get on with life :)
Jasbg
JT did not say anything about - when FDA possible would approve generic (how could he know anything about that).
--------------
What he said was that it will take years for Hikma - Reddy to reach a level in production that' could be a threat to Amarin.
And next thing - should Amarin 'not win appeal' - they will possibly make their own generic - going below Hikma - Reddy prize for the drug.
------------------------
As TFT say 'nothing har changed' - besides what everyone knew would happen - generic's would be approved for Marine label.
What JT said - was that this is where the 'real life production' challenges stats - to make a comparable product to Vascepa.
Jasbg
NB - but it is one of those days - were a 'self-admiring "analyst" is blown big on Yahoo - talking Amarin and Vascepa down' (to sell some other Bio products').
Happens 'over and over' again - but stil affects the SP negative (peace of the pusle of BP - for ever holding Amarin back).
https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/05/22/1-biotech-stock-to-avoid-at-all-costs.aspx?source=eptyholnk0000202&utm_source=yahoo-host&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article&yptr=yahoo
And Notice how the picture shows 'the most yellow' fish oil capsules - this guy could find on the internet. Has absolutely nothing to do with Vascepa. Fake' as much of the rest of how this guy 'moves' the facts to where he wants them.
inv83@ And where is the Judge in this game ?
Even today not many people on this earth get involved in 'a single decision' that moves 10 billion$.
It is frightening to 'even begin' - the math about how many CDV patient in this world could/would have been saved - if 'the real value' of Vascepa were known to populations.
But the multi billion$ BP Statin money-machines - 'is where the resistance is buried' - I'm more convinced all the time !
Jasbg
Been away for the day - so this information might be here on iHub already:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hls-therapeutics-supports-trial-investigate-200700058.html
Does sound exiting !
Jasbg
It must be obvious to everyone that this stock right now (as it has been ever since R-I) is being manipulated as h**l.
Again and again 'big red blocks of low prized shares being put in the market.
If you ask me - Big Pharma - does not want AMRN to go to SP 15$ (as some analysts has implied possible). AMRN at 15$ prior to Appeal - would mean + 25$ if Amarin wins - not acceptable to BP it seems.
-------------------
Again' - if I were Amarin - i would hire market analyse company - to find out who is 'behind' holding this stock back.
Jasbg
marjac@ Great job. And again thank you for your strength and effort in helping Aamarin and shareholders.
Jasbg
Lemm@ I was actually nervous that Covid took you - as you being away for some time.
But you seem in 'good shape' - not lost your sense of humor :)
Glad to see you back.
ATB
Jasbg
OT: A number of grown up Army boys here - that understands this:
sts66@ It's not the bloggers that are making Amarin Crawl - it's BP !
NH@ Exactly right :)
marjac@ Can only say - 'The utmost respect for You'r 'fighting for us all here' - and putting your 'Name in the Game'.
Great input - where you cover everything (my take) on this matter - Bravo my friend.
Jasbg
HDG@ To me and a lot of others here 'marjacs mail' was/is very much DD about defending Amarin and Vascepa.
OT: Yes i admit that is a problem for me:
http://talksense.dk/
Jasbg
NB. About Dr OZ - he was for weeks the most 'honest' informative source about the pandemic in USA - simple as that.
HDG@ I thought we were talking about natural 'Fish Oil' - not 'Over the Counter' Crap Products - Come On !
----------------------------------
Judge Du has cost (a conservative view) +7 billion for Amarin and shareholders - and you are using this type of arguments - to defend you attack on marjas's effort.
Will Lar@ Will you ever find a Fish Oil - that is Pure EPA ?
-----------------------------
So Vascepa 'Is Not Fish Oil. It is a product where fish oil is one of the 'raw materials' in producing the end product.
There is a long list of other components to this production of purifying - stabelising - encapsulating the final drug.
Jasbg
PS. Have to say' - I find HDG's disrespect for marjac's many hours of work and big effort here - not very helpful - or nice.
lobas95@ That is exactly right !
These analysers keeps all doors open - so are you as reader much wiser ?
---------------------------------
What is a fact is' that Amarin is probarbly 'the most haunted company in history' (the stock forever' being manipulated - held down).
---------------------------------
If Amarin were my company - the first thing I would have done were to hire an expert in Markets (maybe ever detective's to explore possible corruption) - to find out 'Who is behind manipulating the stock'.
The fact that AMRN - keep falling - even with volume +60 mill - day after approval december 2019 - PROVES manipulation - and SP falling on every 'good news' - Canada - Great Q4 2019.
Most likely - when it comes down 'to the basic truth' (in maybe 30 - 50 - 100 years) - it's all about Vascepa being a much Better' - Safer' drug - than the multi billion dollar BP Statins !
Jasbg

A wildcard question from a lay person in Law (from abroad).
--------------------
I have watched Tom Fitton a number of times, and this is a man that it not afraid to 'take on anybody' - even most powerful agensys in the US.
As name applies it's all about - defending the Constitution - Freedom - the American way of life.
The site is maybe most about political subjects, but do they maybe also 'take on' other subjects - like 'Strange Liberal 'take down' of a small 'But Important' Bio company like Amarin ?
https://www.judicialwatch.org/
Here Fitton with Lou Doobs:
inv83@ It sounds like - 'Fifty Shades 4' - your right :)
------------------------
There sure has been Trolls from generic's here earlier - and I would be surprised if 'defender Trolls of Du is not here already'.
They will be putting in their 'small poison arrows' - Increasing' - the closer we get to appeal decision.
This is the price of an open 'anonymous' forum like this.
Jasbg
raf@ You just cut 'the case down' to 30 seconds :)
And you saved Amarin (and generic's) millions of dollars in legal fees - and YEARS in wasted time.
Lockdown is becoming a political issue in USA (some believe - it always were).
