Exactly Krafty. And the exact words were '....waiting for that moment to go out and shout about it, it’s just that little bit too soon. But soon - we’re getting there definitely, that’s the exciting bit.'
That was last November, and that's well within 'soon' when it comes to the sort of timescales involved in trials imo. Generally only bad news like trial stoppages comes out quickly, and we know that they are now injecting cohort 4, so progress is presumably at the very least satisfactory.
I remember also LD saying she couldn't quite believe the results (or words to that effect) in the early stages. Imo if something is unexpectedly promising then the one thing a sensible scientist will do is check and recheck and check again, needing to be rock-solid certain of the data before announcing anything. Hence why the clamouring for results potentially ahead of confirmation is fruitless and short-sighted.
The absent Knowlesi (with whom I now play golf occasionally, by a bizarre series of coincidences) used to demand to be kept abreast of everything at all times, but now accepts that was never going to happen, more of an aspirational trading ploy than anything else.
Let's see what develops from these events in America anyway.
