Not sure I agree with you here Scottyboy, I'm with trader72. How long prior to COVID has it takes and drug to be researched, tested, approved....its a multiyear process in most cases. Yes things are being fast tracked but to try and do that in 2 months say just opens the door for sub optimal products. Hence why everything the Govt are promoting to try and stem off a frustrated public ends up being a dud and they move on to the next candidate. I would rather wait for a product that works and it be 2 weeks late than announce a product beofre the rest and it turn out to be useless. The market will forget a delay but not a failed product, think about the long term reputational damage of all the cancer plays if we get this wrong.
Hype is a big play in pharmas at the moment, if you have a good product, get it right first time and put it out there when its ready, not before!
