Yeah Timster and I do.
This guy was claiming that he was only invested here through a managed pension fund.
You could invest your own sipp in aim sang.
You'd have to be extremely happy with extremely high risk though and not constantly bashing the stock your future income depended on.
Whether or not you are a bot you seem incredibly stupid. In your previous post you claimed your pension fund was invested here.
I don't think any pension fund invests in Aim stocks. Which one is it?
An opinion based on decades in the biotech industry that doesn't align with yours and suddenly Im from a bot farm, what a joke...
Have you considered why this might be?
1) Cannot comment on BJ as he's an idiot and has faltered with every possible step along this path..
2) AS has made many bold statements over the years, and seemingly has no issue bending the truth, or flat out lying to keep the ship floating. You can compare the performance to all other tests already on the market (https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/default/files/preparedness_response/docs/covid-19_rat_common-list_en.pdf). Also, as Ndn71 highlighted below, the validation is scant (lacking >100 positive tests, lacking CV). This is a silly oversight and should come with heads rolling..
3) Is this really surprising? This has been the theme for a few years now.
4) Avacta was not a proper diagnotic company before covid, so not sure what point you are trying to make here...
Where did that thread go truth was getting too close to the paid rampers lol
NDN brings up some interesting points (will wonders never cease) but he clearly wasn’t invested last year. The government and ‘samples’ have been a huge issue since this pandemic began. Evidence: CONDOR. This was meant to be the governments programme to assess tests. What ever happened to it?. Avacta was trying to get samples from LSTM from the Southern Hemisphere last summer because it was so useless. PD were ONLY a willing to use spiked pig saliva (frozen) which degraded the s-protein which affimers bind to. Why when cases were spiralling out of control since October? What would it take to get fresh samples to PD, developers, and other institutions? Logistics needed to be set up. It clearly wasn’t set up at all. We know that 2 contractors working in DHSC in logistics for 8 months since Sep/Oct 2020 now work for Innova. This might not be a conspiracy but it is clear the government have not got measures in place to prevent conflicts of interest. I would argue the elected politicians repeatedly show us this exact problem over and over again. It isn’t a level playing field and AS has stated a larger study has been underway. Clearly it is still an issue to get samples … ask yourself why? There clearly has been no process set up to get samples… it would be so simple to set up systems - testing centres could be used / just need a process designed and documented.
“- Antibody testing has the potential to be a key tool in maintaining public safety, confidence in the vaccines and supporting effective vaccine booster campaigns.” (ABDX RNS of yesterday.)
Given the Government’s abysmal record on decision making during this pandemic and its obsession with getting us all vaccinated, would anyone put it past them to order a mass antibody testing exercise?
A rather technical Lancet paper was picked up by media around the globe with the headline: “Antibody weakens 2-3 months after both doses: Lancet study” and reaching the conclusion that: “A booster dose is going to be the next in-thing after two mandatory jabs against Covid-19”.
I would not put it past those behavioural scientists in SAGE to argue that a home use antibody test showing a fall in immunity would be just the thing to drive people to get their booster. I know it sounds crazy, but …..
"... Commisioned large scale ..."
Q20: Is Avacta looking to expand its clinical data sets beyond those already announced?
We are carrying out additional validation studies to build larger data sets and strengthen the statistical analysis.
Flogging a dead horse?? The horse is non-existent. You must flog this 5 times/day.
Is that the SureScreen we know so well....the one with the street traders website. It appears to be nothing more than a re-packaging company.....Chinese in other words. Someone prove me wrong...please.
Self testing
So a number of UK products have been through Porton Down validation and have passed
phase 3a validation. YET None of these has yet achieved regulatory approval to allow them to
be used in the settings we require. .??? Even though avacta has passed by the EU as wel
However, work is underway to secure regulatory
approval for the suppliers of these products, and we hope that this will be completed
successfully in the coming months. Coming months,!!! How much longer .?
What more approval does it require? I don’t understand

Dear Elliot,
From the Lord Bethell Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Innovation
39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU
020 7210 4850
26 July 2021
Thank you for your correspondence of 15 June on behalf of one of your constituents, about the manufacturing of COVID-19 testing kits. I apologise for the delay in replying.
We are committed to boosting UK manufacturing and demonstrated this with the award of
a contract for 20 million devices to Derby-based test manufacturer SureScreen
Diagnostics. These lateral flow device (LFD)
tests
were the first British tests to be
validated in the laboratory by Public Health England (PHE).
Collaboration between industry and the Government continues to be a priority, and we are
hugely grateful to all the manufacturers and suppliers that have come forward to offer their
assistance in producing LFD tests.
The valuable partnerships being created with companies such as SureScreen Diagnostics are further contributing to the resilience of the UK, both through supporting the work of UK
diagnostics manufacturers and by harnessing the possibilities opened up by rapid regular
testing.
Our LFD Dynamic Purchasing System will diversify the supply of LFD tests through fair and transparent competition.
Exceptional Use
The joint PHE Porton Down and University of Oxford team has developed a rigorous validation approach, which can be found at www.gov.uk by searching for ‘protocol for evaluation of rapid diagnostic assays for specific SARS-CoV-2 antigens (lateral flow devices)’.
The current validation process consists of three phases of assessment of increasing stringency. Phase 3a is a validation against clinical samples. Successful completion of this final phase means a product has demonstrated suitable performance and is therefore eligible for procurement.
To be purchased by the department, LFD tests need to have been validated by PHE
Porton Down and must have regulatory approval in the form of either an
Authorisation (EUA) or a European Conformity (CE) mark. None of the products for self-
testing with Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency EUA approval or a CE
mark is currently manufactured in the UK.
A number of UK products have been through Porton Down validation and have passed
phase 3a validation. None of these has yet achieved regulatory approval to allow them to
be used in the settings we require. However, work is underway to secure regulatory
approval for the suppliers of these products, and we hope that this will be completed
successfully in the coming months.
I hope this reply is helpful.
LORD BETHELL
