Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Of course it is wise to compare the 2, if we do enough of this the share price will go up by sheer willpower and delusion alone.
Trump and Boris will also be watching Youtube video's of a US doctor with 2000 views and will base policy decisions on that alone, while BIG Pharma are going to club together and offer us a Trillion pounds for our shares.
So I think the video talks about an Interferon injection costing £21.
SNG001, will need to take the interferon, nebulise it and deliver it to the lungs.
Nobody knows how much the nebuliser is, and I've not seen any information about what is being nebulised, I doubt it would be an exact copy of the injection, likely a different strength solution, maybe some other things in there. but it's probably good news that the starting cost is relatively low.
I'm fully aware that it was Phase II, just the results have not been released beyond the mandatory Financial RNS.
So it's not official and there is a tiny chance that the interpretation of the results is wrong, which is what peer review is for (that and fraud).
BoJo would look a fool (again) if he were to promote SNG based on that.
Just like big Pharma would be foolish to enter into any relationship with SNG based on the RNS alone, they'd want to see the actual data, which isn't released yet.
Yes BoJo should come out and shout about SNG this afternoon.
And then 5 minutes later he can acknowledge that while he thinks it might work, there is no proof in the public domain that it does. And yes maybe he should have waited for the release of Phase II results.
If he did then it wouldn't actually change anything, the Phase II results would still need peer review, we'd still need Phase III or an alternative due to the current situation (that should be science based and not influenced by politicians). We'd still need a manufacturing partner or buyer (who are likely fully aware of what is going on).
So basically you want BoJo to start shouting so the share price goes up, which is fine, just don't pretend that it would change anything.
Facepalm....
The reason why the Flu vaccine may not work in a given year is due to the mutative characteristics of Flu which means guesses have to be made as to which strain is prevalent and therefore which vaccine to use.
This mutative characteristic is not shared by Coronavirus. We will not need to guess which vaccine to use.
A 50% effective vaccine, would inhibit the spread of the virus massively and also likely reduce the severity (as it does in Flu).
For those who are not able to take the vaccine or who do not benefit from it, we need treatments.
A vaccine is likely to be delivered for about 3USD, a course of SNG will be alot more, economically a vaccine is much better.
There is still plenty of room for SNG in a world with a vaccine, but please understand what a vaccine can do.
So for Flu - they do need to make an educated guess on what strain will be prevalent in the coming winter, flu mutates easily and regularly, it's one of it's characteristics.
COVID19 - appears not to mutate nearly as much as Flu, which is good news for vaccines and of course for all of us.

An effective treatment is useful, but without a vaccine we'll be tackling COVID for the rest of our lives.
An effective vaccine gets rid of the problem.
Sometimes I read this board and think people want a vaccine to fail so they can make a shed load of cash while the the virus claims more lives. It's not a good outlook.
SNG001 can work in tandem with a vaccine and of course has other uses.
Anyone else get a yearly flu vaccine?
Trust me Pharma companies are not losing hope.
If it works, great for the Pharma Company
If it needs multiple doses... Thats even better for the Pharma Company..
Hmm the article it references is from 23rd of July and ends with...
"These results have not yet been published in a peer reviewed journal. Further analysis will be conducted and reported soon."
Shame.
Well a 70% premium is about £4.25, which I'm sure some will be very disappointed about as they are holding out for £10 to £25.
However a buyout at around £5 would seem to be reasonable seeing as SNG can't do this alone. I'd want more but realise that SNG are not a healthcare supplier but a developer.
With regards to safety, it does take years to develop a safe vaccine. But vaccine development has come a long way, many vaccines that are at the head of the queue are basically customized from a known safe vaccine. There are still risks, of course, but the potential for adverse effects is much less.
Similar to SNG, they knew interferons were effectively safe but used it in a different way, there was some risk, but much less than inhaling something completely new.
As for Flu vaccines, they do work, but there are many many strains of flu and they mutate over time, so they have to make an educated guess of which will be the prevalent strain and develop vaccines to attack that one.
And, most impressive, Dr. Chin-Hong said, the drug was tested twice in Covid patients, with promising results. One test was in England, where beta interferon or a placebo was provided to 101 hospitalized patients. They inhaled it in a nebulizer, a device like the ones used to deliver asthma medications.
They are talking about SNG in the study, but only as evidence that SNG could work, not a specific partnership with SNG for the study
