in recent studies it has been shown the COVID 19 undermines the regular immune response like no other virus ever before, e.g. blocking Interferon production as a response:

Seeking Alpha just scandalized VASCEPA once more. If you want to chime in it might help as there are over 100 entries in the chat:
https://seekingalpha.com/news/3576959-fish-oil-to-rescue?
Marj, thank you for your contribution. I just took the liberty to quote your complaint in my retort of yesterdays scandalous slander of AMARIN's press release by the editor of Seeking Alpha.
See here what I published :
"I can see why an editor can produce such a headline reeking either of an attempt to ridicule AMARIN’s proven heart drug VASCEPA or of complete ignorance of science without being fired on the spot when he is actually adressing an audience that matches his lack of comprehension....
To play to an audience for a cheap laugh whilst undermining the livesaving capacity of VASCEAP means putting lives at risk - maybe for just the audience he just alienated to the true beneifits of VASCEPA.SInce 45 % of all fatalities in the USA are caused by cardiovascular disease that likelihood is quite high!
This is an ethical concern!
The American Heart Associaton as well as Harvard Medical School hailed VASCEPA as the most important new drug in heart medicine in 30 years! VASCEPA has been declared "Standard Of Care" for diabetes, but an editor for Seeking Alpha assumes he knows better than that…..
VASCEPA is not even just purified EPA - which is a part of all Omega3 formulations - but an Ethyl Esther derived from it. As such it is a "New Chemical Entity" and was therefore given additional legal protection as AMARIN had found or produced a molecule not know before to man!
Mixing up this lifesaving prescription drug with fish oil smells of either an hidden agenda of libel and slander or plain ignorance and fails ANY journalistic code of conduct to do due dilligence before reporting!
It just makes me sick
It is this prescription medicine that is preventing between 30 to 35 % of heart attacks and strokes and other "Major Adverse Cardiac Events" !
Actually the numbers go up to over 45% for patients that have taken VASCEPA for longer than 5 years !
A newly released study shows that patients taken VASCEPA had 45 % less bypass or open
heart surgeries!
In contrast ALL (!) 400 plus clinical studies of Omega3 supplements have failed to prove ANY heart benefit whilst at the same time it was found circumstantially that most of these supplements were actually toxic or degraded as the fish oil got rancid, changed chemical components or held heavy metals. NONE of the 400 plus studies sponsored by the DS industry ever showed any health benfitat all which is why the European Medical Agency has forbidden the prescription of ALL Dietary Supplement claiming heart benefits EXCEPT only the pharmaceutically pure, new drug VASCEPA!
It appears that the Ethyl Esther in VASCEPA is stopping most of the inflammatory processes in the body by reducing the level of Archidonic Acid (AA) in the blood. AA is being targeted as it is considered the root cause for so called "Systemic Inflamation Cascade"!
It has been shown that VASCEPA can reduce AA in the blood by up to 90% in a matter of months !
This is why AA/EPA ratio is held as a gold standard by many in preventive medicine:
https://blog.healthmatters.io/2018/12/27/what-is-the-aa-epa-ratio/
Because of this ability of VASCEPA to modulate and reduce inflammatory processes in the body it was overdue that it is being researched as COVID 19 shows numerous traits that no other virus ever displayed and thus undermines traditional approaches to respiratory infections:

So a link to the original press release would have been the least to do for journalistic objectivity:
https://investor.amarincorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/amarin-supports-trial-investigate-effects-vascepar-icosapent
In closing I would like to muse that an editor being this reckless should be worried that a case is being brought against him for libel and slander as just happened to Judge Du who presided over the scandalous mistrial in Nevada that was ripe with at least 6 legal and procedural faults because Judge Du also clearly did not understand the difference between fish oil and VASCEPA:
See for yourself. This complaint has ALL the scientific facts spelled out:

5. Brief Statement of Facts (1198 Words)
I. SUMMARY OF THE COMPLAINT OF MISCONDUCT
If a Judge’s public comment involves a case from the judge’s own court, the judge should take particular care so that the comment does not denigrate public confidence in the judiciary’s integrity and impartiality which would violate Canon 2A. Canon 3A(6) (Comment). In the May, 2020 issue of the Nevada Lawyer, Judge Du stated how she gets “tutored on varied technical issues involved in patent cases such as learning . . . . the benefits of fish oil.” (emphasis added) (Exhibit “A”).
The scientific evidence indisputably establishes that Vascepa is a refined, purified FDA approved prescription medication providing substantial, documented cardiovascular health benefits while fish oil is essentially garbage which provides no documented cardiovascular health benefits. (Statement of Facts, ¶5-¶12; Exhibit “B”). By making this comment, Judge Du essentially trade labeled Amarin, and its flagship product, Vascepa, thereby violating Canon 3A(6), as interpreted by the Comment.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS
A. Judge Du’s Verdict
1. On March 30, 2020, after presiding over a month-long bench trial in January, 2020, Judge Du, entered a verdict where she ruled that the Amarin patents at issue in the case, are invalid on grounds of obviousness. That ruling is currently on appeal before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
2. In the immediate aftermath of this shocking ruling, Amarin lost billions of dollars in market cap, and the stock plummeted, losing 70% of its value, devastating both the company and its shareholders.
B. The May, 2020 Nevada Lawyer Interview
3. In an interview published in the May, 2020 issue of the Nevada Lawyer, Judge Du, one of the Nevada District’s three specially designated patent judges, describes how she enjoys her work on patent cases, “I get tutored on varied technical issues involved in patent cases such as learning how tasers work or the benefits of fish oil.” (emphasis added) (Exhibit “A”).
4. The reporter who conducted the interview, Jennifer Smith-Pulsipher, can confirm that the interview took place in February, 2020, after the bench trial concluded on January 31, 2020, but prior to the verdict on March 30, 2020.
C. Vascepa vs. Fish Oil
5. As stated on Amarin’s web site in the section entitled, “The Vascepa Difference”(Exhibit “B”), “Vascepa is the first and only prescription EPA treatment approved by the FDA to lower very high triglycerides.” “Vascepa is now approved, along with certain medicines (statins), to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and certain types of heart issues requiring hospitalization in adults with heart (cardiovascular) disease, or diabetes and 2 or more risk factors for heart disease.”
6. “Prescription medications are clinically proven and FDA-approved to treat medical conditions. They follow strict manufacturing and regulatory standards, are only prescribed by a doctor, and are purchased at a pharmacy.”
7. “Dietary supplements such as common fish oils and Omega-3s are not FDA-approved.” (emphasis added). It’s important to know that they are not intended nor proven safe or effective to treat patients with medical conditions such a very high triglycerides.”
8. “Most unproven fish oil supplements contain DHA, an Omega-3, which can raise bad cholesterol (LDL-C).” (emphasis added). Prescription EPA Vascepa has “no DHA; and Vascepa was shown not to raise bad cholesterol (LDL-C).”
9. Common fish oil is “not FDA-approved to treat medical conditions, including very high triglycerides.” (emphasis added). Vascepa is “FDA-approved and clinically proven to lower very high triglycerides.”
10. In terms of daily dose, Common fish oil “may take up to 10-40 capsules to equal the EPA in a daily dose of Vascepa.” (emphasis added). The Vascepa daily dose is “two 1-gram capsules twice a day.”
11. Common fish oil is “reported to have fishy taste or cause fishy burps.” (emphasis added). Vascepa has “no fishy burps taking four grams per day of Vascepa in a clinical trial.”
12. Common fish oil is “prone to deterioration” as the “fishy smell suggests chemical change and may be covered up by an added scent or flavor.” (emphasis added). Vascepa has “proven stability” and “demonstrated multi-year stability [preserves full effect].”
III. APPLICABLE LAW - CODE OF CONDUCT FOR UNITED STATES JUDGES
1. The Code of Conduct for United States Judges includes the ethical canons that apply to federal judges and provides guidance on their performance of official duties and engagement in a variety of outside activities.
2. Canon 3 provides that a “Judge Should Perform the Duties of the Office Fairly, Impartially and Diligently.” Canon 3A governs “Adjudicative Responsibilities”. The Canon at issue, Canon 3A(6) provides, “A Judge should not make public comment on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court.”
3. Canon 3A(6) is clarified in the Comment which provides, “The admonition against public comment about the merits of a pending or impending matter continues until the appellate process is complete. If the public comment involves a case from the judge’s own court, the judge should take particular care so that the comment does not denigrate public confidence in the judiciary’s integrity and impartiality which would violate Canon 2A.” (emphasis added). (Canon 2A, entitled “Respect for the Law”, provides that a “judge should respect and comply with the law and should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.”
IV. JUDGE DU’S “FISH OIL” REMARK IN THE MAY, 2020 NEVADA LAWYER
INTERVIEW VIOLATES CANON 3A(6) AS INTERPRETED BY THE COMMENT
The subject trial involved several days of expert testimony and over 2000 exhibits. The Stipulated Facts in the Final Pretrial Order stipulate that Vascepa is a “pharmaceutical composition” consisting of at least 96% pure EPA. (See Final Pretrial Order, page 22-23, ¶169-¶174)(Exhibit “C”). The scientific evidence indisputably establishes that Vascepa is a refined, purified FDA approved prescription medication providing substantial, documented cardiovascular health benefits while fish oil is essentially garbage which provides no documented cardiovascular health benefits. (See Statement of Facts, ¶5-¶12).
Judge Du knew or should have known all of this, yet she publicly proclaims that she learned about the “benefits of fish oil”, even though fish oil is documented to have no benefits, and even though Vascepa is indisputably distinct from fish oil. If after being exposed to all of the above, Judge Du still thinks of Vascepa as mere “fish oil”, then the public confidence in Judge Du’s impartiality would most certainly be denigrated in the eyes of any reasonable person with even the most rudimentary understanding of the facts surrounding Vascepa and the underlying case.
This is especially cogent when evaluated in the context of the Canon 3A(6) Comment’s admonition that a Judge’s public comments concerning cases in her own court, are subject to enhanced scrutiny so that the comment does not denigrate public confidence in the judiciary’s integrity and impartiality. Judge Du’s reckless comment is probative of the perception that she either did not understand the case, or she simply did not pay attention while rendering an arbitrary, destructive judgment based upon pre-conceived notions about “fish oil”, rather than impartial evaluation of the evidence as she is duty bound to do. Judge Du has therefore violated Canon 3A(6), as clarified and placed in context by the Comment.
6. Acknowledgment, declaration and signature:
I understand that even if I successfully prove that the judge engaged in misconduct or is disabled, this procedure cannot change the outcome of the underlying case.
I, declare under penalty of perjury that the statements made in this complaint are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
(Signature) S/Michael S. Kasanoff (Date) 05/20/2020
Respectfully submitted,

Bravo,Marjac! Did you sent this as a statement to the court or file an Amicus referencing this yourself?
would you take it upon you to contact these possible allies?
Excellent idea and very practical but who do you want to deputize to either file personally or approach any BP industry leader to produce such an amicus brief in the sort time frame remaining?
JesseL comes to mind as the obvious candidate but I have not seen any positive reactions to previous attempts to conscript him for such an endeavour..
@Marjac would also be qualified.
So how do you propose to get this done?
Thx! Can't change your spots ahh stripes of course
HDWainwright begs to differ in pointing out that 51$ is even intact as a target on Europe and other strategies alone - at least how I read it
This seems major - a price target above 50$ reported by FLY!

Patent attorney finds Amarin appeal brief effective, says H.C. Wainwright
With Amarin having filed its opening appeal brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, H.C. Wainwright analyst Andrew Fein consulted with a patent attorney on initial perspectives. The patent attorney concluded that Amarin has done a thorough job presenting its case and effectively presented its opening shot in the best light possible, Fein tells investors in a research note. The attorney further believed the brief explained the Vascepa technology and the basis of the invention thoroughly, why it was needed and the approach the inventor took to solve the problem of lowering triglycerides in patients with severe hyperlipidemia without raisi ng LDLs, adds the analyst. Fein points out that Amarin essentially has two main lines of argument: that the court erred in finding a prima facie case of obviousness because it did not apply the correct analytical framework and erred in its approach to secondary considerations. Fein's consulted attorney found Amarin's second line of argument compelling, both on the merits and on the clarity and force of argument. That said, the company only needs to be right on one, Fein adds. He keeps a Buy rating on Amarin with a $51 price target
@concapk Thx! Your explanation makes perfect sense and seems much more in line how things work in reality. I am a bit tired of these socialist conspiracy theories especially from quarters that wholeheartedly applaud all the attempts to undermine one of the oldest democracies in the world in annihilating freedom of press, separation of powers, vote for all etc... done by by a pre-fascist government that openly admires any murderous tyrannt and dictator in the world as long as he can wield unchecked power over his substitutes.
I am getting sick of how reason along with decency is discarded on a whim by people who long to restore a state of affairs already antiquated in the 50ies and suicidal in the 60ies.
It reminds me of the bigotry of "pro-Lifers" that want to force minor girls that have been raped to deliver babies and drop them like they had rabies once the babies are born without medicare or social assistance left alone counselling. It all boils down to "Freedom" being an empty word which is translated to "if you are poor feel free to die on your own"
Having been at UCLA I am appalled at what my old room mates report to me about this growing discrepancy between the standards afforded in the top private hospitals and what is left for public health Therefore on first glance it would seem reasonable that a judge with a social conscience might lean instinctively towards generics BUT (!) a stickler to protocol like Judge Du showed herself as in the early innings of this trial would not have strayed from her own stronghold.
Just remember how she confessed early on that AMARIN's arguments were intuitively convincing and that VASCEPA obviously was a drug for chronic conditions counteracting the hyperbole of the generics that they were looking for a time limited use application only?
Your theory sums up how things work in reality. That is refreshing!
Could you please post the link to the brief again? Cant find it with all the posts
Hopefully we luck out and dont end up like Johnson... Sometimes I feel like "All my Love in Vain"
there is a lot more relevance to stockmarkets than that:
matter of fact stockmarkets started and flourished around 2 business ventures closely intertwined that needed public funding :
1.) appropriation of "unclaimed land" from natives around the world who had failed to record their deeds in courts in London, Amsterdam, Lisboa and Paris and thus forfeited all rights to their ancestral properties...
2.) trafficking in the now "homeless" former owner of these lands..
In fact the very first publicly traded german stock was the Royal Prussian Trade Association whose singular purpose of looking for investors was to finance the lucrative slave trade from West Africa to the dutch holding in the carribean.
Also the now reviled practice of amputation of extremities by west african so called guerilla warlords is a tradition first developed as "Best Business Practice" by King Leopold of Belgium to show what happens to anyone trying to escape slavery . The good king personally ran the so called "Congo Free State as a Private Venture company and considered the whole of the Congo Basin as private property and all it s inhabitants as naturally born slaves... nevertheless the company still looked for funding through stock markets and the public eagerly did buy their paper...
Even absolut monarchs like the french king Louis did so to fund the Lousiana Company e.g.
The British East India Company added the Opium trade to the equation , forcing opium into China by gun boat policies to get to their huge silver hoards which in turn were needed to buy slaves in West Africa for the sugar plantations in the West Indies after all the Native Americans once inhabiting these once elysian isles had already vanishes as slaves for the Spaniards...
So in a very real way the sudden advent of public companies and Exchanges and Bourse to trade shares in these was necessitated by the giant project of stealing the world from its inhabitants and th en selling them off as slaves. This was enourmously costly, costly beyond the finances of the various royals . So to finance the logistics kings and queens ceded the privileges to raise armies, write laws and to collect taxes to public companies - the first multi nationals - to pay for the needed manpower of mercenaries, the armories and the logistics of building up s hipping and so forth.. .
Enslaving a planet for share holder value has been the cause and purpose of the first Exchanges of the "Civilized World".
Not that much has changed since...
It remains a sad heritage
outstanding find Kiwi! Thx!
Many of my my medical anthropology colleagues nowadays agree that empathy , compassion and cooperation are at least equally strong biologic instincts as aggression or competition.
In fact this insight goes on to interspecies cooperation in predator and prey populations which was first discovered by Prince Pjotr Kropotkin , a veritable Prince, biologist and geographer, who first described this behaviour after 5 years of exile in Siberia.
This was the first scientific antithesis to social Darwinism which is till held by many as Gospel:

Exactly right @Couldbebetter! Which is why I was asking if our members and @JesseLivermore in particular if they are aware of any clinical studies on AA:EPA ratios in Parkinson Disease patients and if there are any clinical trial or data available on any med data banks
You hit the spot there.My uncle was professor of medicine and is hard to convince without clinical studies to back it up even so PD is crippling him in a bad way..
Thx @couldbebetter! Some new insights for sure was not aware of nicotine but had ordered pharmaceutically pure curcumin which is the active ingredient in tumeric already.
I was just wondering about more research on the subject of EPA for PD as well as if there is research on AA:EPA ratios in PD-patients?
Did JL ever write about this?

Good point made from my naive , non-professional point of view. Would the experts like JL and @marjac , @ziploc or @hamoa weigh in on this please?
This might be old news for some but I just came up with this Medscape article on various studies on the efficiency of EPA in various indications namely Parkinson Disease .
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/825252
Now I have 2 questions :
1.) could this impact the obviousness claims?
2.) is anyone aware of more data or clinical studies on the effectiveness of EPA for PD?
As a family meber was recently diagnosed I would appreciate any information available.
Thanks in Advance!
Creative approach for sure. Have you shared your suggestions with JT and/or AMRN BoD?
you forgot to mention that on op of all that, to add insult to injury this ungrateful offspring of the recipients of your selfless sacrifice is a dink....or was it zit?
I plain forgot .. been such a long time treating shellshocked personell

From an overseas perspective this is just the natural response any civilized nation would take with out partisan bickering!
It is obvious that you cannot just simply give away 2 trillion$ to the very companies that just spent 95% of their profits of the last 10 years on share buybacks and boni even if it so happens that your main sponsors are this selfsame companies and their lobbyists while leaving 50% of the american workforce to starve after a meager 2 week stipend....
And even the most retarded should find it obvious in their own self interest that ALL medical care and testing needs to be 100% free unless you have some sort of sick secondary benefit from letting the poorer strata of society be culled...
This one pager would not be considered socialist or extreme in any other developed nation around the world but just as what it is :

It was not just Cocaine - even so you might think that should have been enough - but also Cola Nut extract. Cola Nut being hallucinogenic.....
but then Cocaine was prescribed by doctors as a cure for morphine addiction back in the day...
So when they were forced to give up spicing it up with addictive drugs they substituted it with the next most addictive stuff they could find namely being sugar - another white powder derived from breaking down a natural plant to a chemical derivative directly impacting the brain structure that formats addictive responses...
That formula seemed ultimative until RED BULL discovered that you can add even more sugar - something like 40 cubes of sugar per can - and more caffeine as well and have an even faster habit forming response....
For crying out loud - the wonders of autocorrect with a foreign language subset...
