If the Indians think its OK to develop nuclear bombs and put rockets into space before ensuring clean water and sanitation for 100s of millions of people, and get £100 millions in UK overseas aid that our taxes have provided, I struggle to see why we should reduce the cost of our vaccine if it ever sees the light of day. The Indian population is 1.4Bn if they buy 1Bn units , they can have some quantity discount.
There is no reason for people here who have supported this company for over a decade through thin and thinner to not see as large a return on their money as possible. Let Bill Gates help them out if he wants to, we have done enough already.

I think you might find that the former President knew something the medical experts didnt. He spoke about disinfecting with light inside the body, there was no suggestion of pouring bleach into people.

Equally I think we mighr consider the possibility that major Pharma may not be keen on the idea of curing Covid or Cancer bearing in mind the loss of revenue from their current potions which dont seem to offer lasting cures and have the financial advantage of repeat sales to a growing number of patients. Rather like the problem of the everlasting lightbulb perhaps?

This is my only worry, trying to produce the perfect product. Sometimes its better to get something that works well enough and then do the perfection stuff once you are in the market... Shoot first, aim later. If SN 15 kills the N protein do we need to be overly concerned about the spike? If Cliff doesnt get a wriggle on I will have to start chewing my toenails.....

All the underlying methodologies and science are patented so I guess anyone wanting to use them will need to open their purses. The next steps following the initial trial will be a test of the commercial instincts within the company and its major investors. I feel much happier to have Redmile at the table than if we were relying just on in-house expertise. We also need to be ready for the effect that good news will have on the potential value and demand for some of the component parts of Covidity. So, maybe its time to be looking into finding someone with the requisite licencing skills in case the whole product line starts to explode with interest. Decent problem to have to be honest!

How hard would it be to take somewhere like Burnley or Rochdale and let half the GPs give Vitamin D supplements with regular testing orf levels via a government or even NHS grant and then monitor for a wide range of ailments vs the half that dont supplement . Its not reasonable to simply say that large proportions of people living in Northern towns must suffer worse health simply because there is no financial advantage for drug companies. A 2 year study would throw up some general comparitive information, over 5 years the effects might be huge bearing in mind the much higher mortality rates and the incidence of Cancers, respiritory diseases, MS etc. in my part of the world

I put my wife on 15,000 IU vitamin D / day 8 years ago for her MS when her specialist refused to prescribe interferon B . Since then no major relapses and no major further decline. As a northern hemishere nation we are almost all deficient in Vit D simply because its almost impossible to do enough sunbathing especially in late Summer to last through to Spring and it has more or less vanished from our diets because our Salmon is farmed and our pork is ofter reared indoors.
Supplementing our milk and other suitable food products would be a huge boost to the nations healh and a major saving for the NHS. The NICE recommendation is justm400 IUs a day, Dr Campbell hd been taking 2000IU a day until he took a blood test which showed he was still defficient and has now upp3d his dose to 4000 IU per day.

Good find Ray. And yet the Minister for Health told Parliament in an answer to David Davis that "vitamin D is ineffective" and that it had been "tested by scientists" ( it hadn't). Makes you wonder how many lives that utterance cost doesnt it? And are hospitals giving Covid patients a huge vitamin dose on entry? Probably not. ....Well done Mr Handcuck.

I was under the impression that the CEPI stuff today was more about a call for money to support their idea rather than an announcement of how they intend to spend it

I may be completely wrong but didnt the Government give the company some sort of grant and take some shares in lieu? Must have been in the very early days, before my time here , but Im sure it was discussed years ago.. or maybe I am getting too old.

I dont think Tesla is aiming to be a big car company , their stated plan is to become an energy company. Check out their new roof tiles for generating solar power, couple them to the wall batteries and millions of homes will be off-grid, he is also working on a new HVAC system for homes based on the one in his cars and also run from the roof and batteries! As the battery tech improves, he will take on the petrol giants and provide charging points with battery swap-outs rather than petrol tankers and the batteries will be the size of shipping containers.

I think we were all hoping for some actual news , instead we got the same old ramble through the product list, disappointing the audience and leading to a 10% fall in the SP . Maybe Cliff doesn't read these boards, maybe he doesn't care much about the SP, but 6 more presentations like that and this company's shares will be worth the square root of FA. Do us a favour Cliff just get a deal over the line and tell us when you have done it. Stop pretending to be some sort of marketing wizzard and be a salesman instead.

Its an interesting phrase, similar to "within a month or two" but perhaps indicating a shorter timeframe. Within weeks seems to indicate anything from "a couple of weeks" to perhaps "five or six weeks", any longer and the phrase would be in months , something like "a couple of months" rather than weeks so my guess is towards the end of March or maybe a little sooner for p1/2 with an interim announcement on the completion of manufacture and testing of the batch twix now and then. If the target date had been in April I think "a couple of months" would have been the phrase used.

There are three options , good news, bad news , no news. I would rule out bad news as I doubt Cliff would pre-announce a presentation, the RNS would already be out. No news is possible, but then Cliff isnt exactly budding TV personality material so I cant imagine he would volunteer for a presentation he doesn't have to bother with. So I come down on the side of good news of some sort... maybe not Covid related? Either way, I too had a small top up this morning and might have a look down the back of the sofa before Thursday

Wild, I,was one of theose who jumped on the Vulpes sale and I confess the possible explanation of MMs needing shares didnt occur to me. I was mainly disappointed by the timing bearing in mind that the SP has been making up for years in the doldrums. Ultimately it probably wont matter but as a lifelong team sports player it seemed a bit like VAR deciding the last minute winner was a millimeter offside. Oh well, onwards and upwards, a speck of news would not go amiss right now.

Its not the size of the Diggle sell , its the fact that he is a Director and selling any shares at this juncture simply isn't a good look. He should be focused on what he can put into the business as it approaches a crucial point in its progress, not what he can take out, Thankfully others are taking advantage of the dip but the wrong impression was given and not for the first time. Not impressed.

Hi Crumbs, the arrival of a big pharma is one thing but what if the UK Government looks at the initial trial results and puts in an order for say 70m doses at £20 each? - and maybe turfs up £100m - £150 to cover trial costs on the basis that we knock it off the cost of the vaccine if it works as well as anticipated?, do you reckon we need a bigger partner then? They spent £20Bn on track and trace! Funding trials for Scancell is a complete no brainer ... Mind you Government and brains in the same sentence....

Covidity works as advertised, we must be looking at what £40 or £50 a dose? After all its possibly the last vaccination people might need against Coronavirus , no more long annual queues of people for another covid jab, no more logistical problems, job done!
70m doses in the UK , 330m in the US, 4 / 500m ij Europe and scandinavia. Say 1bn doses a year for 6 or 7 years at an average of £25 or even £20 per dose until,everyone is vaccinated......tick tock ...£8 SP is peanuts.

Once again Cliff has managed to take an opportunity and turn it into another down day for shareholders. Will someone please either send him on a sales and marketing course or better still persuade him to employ an RNS writer and give him some presentation skills lessons. This "news" wasn't really news, it had ben expected, did it really even need an RNS ? If it did, why didn't he couch it in such a way that the obvious advantages of bringing SCIB 2 back in-house were highlighted and add that the new people on board meant there was little downside to this and that it wouldn't affect any of our other planned work? This was an opportunity to sell the company positively not a chance to allow some minor disappointment to cause an unnecessary early morning hiatus. I am starting to wonder whose side Cliff is on. So frustrating. I can only wonder what the Redmile guys thought when they woke up this morning.

Looks like Cliff's little chat has had its usual effect on the SP.....

Wow, I am blown away by the very idea that an anti- cancer vax might even be possible . The potential for shareholders is gynormous if this ever works out.
