Hi All
Really enjoyed some of the comments on here.... Some really good knowledge out there from some very long term users of V, statisticians, physicians, believers in EPA and also believers in REDUCE-IT. Please keep up the great thoughts!
With regard to the stock, sentiment over the past few months seems to be hit by not only the meta-analysis saying 'fish oils' don't work... as well as the fact that their chief legal officer sold his stock in advance of another dilutive capital raising.
The one thing I was curious about was the comments from Dr Nissen (the chief study investigator) from Cleveland Clinic for AstraZeneca (Epanova)going out of his way a few months ago saying he thinks REDUCE-IT should be invalidated due to the placebo being mineral oil instead of corn oil or something of that nature. I did some research online and saw there were some concerns from the FDA debacle about the use of mineral oil as the placebo.. Dr Nissen was saying it cant be effects of V, it has to be because of the Placebo that the results are so good. I am not sure how to take that comment or how much truth there is to that or if this is someone who has an axe to grind cause of AstraZeneca. Maybe some others on this board also knew about this and have any further thoughts around this?
