bear is right...we are at the early stages of the battle of the century.
The massive amount of resources and influence w/media/govts/medical infrastructure along with giant BP individuals who are willing and capable of bringing overwhelming force to this field has not yet been seen. We have not seen anything yet. They are big, smart, tough and they are accustomed to always winning.
IMO, the people who understand what is potentially about to happen have been nibbling around the edges of our SP. These people are not going to let the FDA/AVXL or anything else destroy their death grip on the medical industry. Think about what is at stake and what AVXL has to overcome.
Of course Dr. M. is being extremely cautious. If CNS Homeostasis is proven as a breakthrough, and it will be obvious as an unchallenged binary event when it happens, then ...game over...walk-off HR. That is what breakthroughs do, they completely re-write the entire story. Nothing previously thought to be true is useful. The basis for the establishment just got nuked. Who wouldn't be worried? We can bet they are busy right now. People who need structure to think are screwed. It won't be chaos but It will be day to day. That is what we should all be thinking about, then what? Not picking at someone's resume'.
If A2-73 is found to be vaporware I will be surprised as hell. IMO, M. better be partnered with the biggest, toughest guys on the street b/c he is going to need them. BTW, Falconer, keep em' flying you have seen a taste of what is out there.
