I know you own a lot of shares justbecause, so I'm not sure why you feel compelled to ridicule this. I say that in the nicest way, because I truly value your input on this board, and continue to learn from you.

"To get FDA approval for a new treatment method, someone (pharmaceutical companies) must pony up the $10 Million plus and log 4–6 years walking the item through clinical trials." There is a lot of regulatory baggage and special interests to overcome when trying to navigate approval at nice shiny hospitals and research centers in the USA. The pharmaceutical companies have a lot invested in protecting their expensive treatments that kill at least as many people as they save. In the U.S system, this vaccine might never see the light of day....unless maybe a pharmaceutical company bought it.

I too had Googled the hospital, and accepted that it wasn't a prime candidate for a sexy photo in a glossy annual report.......although it may well be proudly displayed in one if this treatment lives up to the impressive statistics in the PR. People will be lined up at a mud hut if this vaccine delivers those kind of results at the rates claimed.

I think I would have liked to see a better headline in the PR. A lot of people don't read very far if the headline doesn't grab their attention, and I think it sounds like maybe the vaccine is much earlier in the trial process than is actually the case. So it goes. Always easy to be an armchair quarterback. Here's hoping this vaccine saves a lot of lives and brings a lot of hope.
