I see prof van tam just now effectively throwing cold water on the notion that antibody testing alone is sufficient to determine protection, as the level of T cells is also important and high antibody count does not infer high T cell count.

Not a wonder then that both Abdx and odx seem to be increasingly using Twitter to try to flog antibody LFTs

"UK Rapid Antigen Test Consortium"

This is one seriously low key consortium, given we are told LFT are crucial to stating out of lockdown. When presented with the above, the entire search power of google finds repeatedly entries on the 8th of feb for an article, and also the above article on the 15th of March. and one article about surescreen....that's it.

a thread entirely about green bins, talk about wasting their time on a forum !!

Scam implies intent, it feels more like consistently misreading the market and making awful commercial decisions.
1)CK believed vaccine roll would require mass antibody testing. Leaving aside the on-going court case, not one single country in the world mass antibody tested people alongside the mass vaccination program, he was just plain wrong.
2) the tri-antibody visitect test makes zero sense, no one wants it. The point of an LFT is that it is easy to administer and read. To have an LFT that has 4 different lines (including the control line) some of those for antibody types that no one is interested in, just makes it unnecessarily complex. TT-ing the test was just plain wrong. Not a single announced sale in 6 months of it being available.
3) signing agreements that means you can not independently sell a single RTC test, seems completely foolish. Only Abindgon can do sales, and in the 3 months they have been able to sell to anyone in the world, they have shown they can't do sales.
4) signing agreements that means potentially 50% of your output is under complete control of UK government, thinking this is a good thing, and not learning any lesson from the RTC debacle.

5) And based on all those awful strategic decisions, ramping up a workforce to find out you have virtually no volume of tests to make and ending up making bits of plastic casing.

The SP continues to disagree with the title of this thread

Sledgey121, as you say it was an OLD post when we were in the depths of a pandemic that no one had an idea how bad it was going to be, how many would die, and how we would get out of it. At the same time ODX was making big promises.

Everything above has changed. Well not everything, ODX has continued to make big promises.

There is a noticeable lack of posters defending ODX anymore, serious investors have realised that time after time ODX has failed to deliver, misled, and misinformed, and they've eventually (although belately) come to conclude that it is no longer a defensible position. Although past performance of a share price is no indication of future value, past performance of a board of directors must surelt be an indication of future performance.

What's left here are some disillusioned first time investors, who are still vainly attempting to display a positive attitude because they don't know what else to do. You can clearly see that they don't have a compelling argument, actually most don't have any argument, just reiterating old stuff, old interviews, even though some of the content of same has already been proved not to have occurred.

And some are left with little more to contribute than to be name callers, bullies and list makers, burying their head in the sand (or in their case the "green bin").

What I do know is that I've been proven right to increasingly voice concern since late 2020 about the complete fabrication of a demand for antibody tests (3B+ worldwide + vaccination roll meant mass antibody testing), the nonsense that odx were stockpiling at full capacity month after month since Oct, the complete lack of orders, and the complete lack of production volumes, and the good ole' NDAs. I hope that my posts have helped counter the unfounded rampiness on here and aided some people make more rational decisions about investing in ODX.

Whether it was good judgement, knowledge, or merely good luck, it is an UNDISPUTABLE FACT that everyone still holding would be in a financially better position had they sold their holding in the same week as the directors timed their 2M combined options cash-in. Do you remember the usual suspects at the time saying the BOD could not sell in advance of bad news, and implying that there was potentially good news (life changing news as I recall). What the board knew, and we did not, was that ODX can not possibly make 2M a week whilst there is no gov purchase order, as the gov capacity is reserved. They also knew the strength of the order pipeline, which has turned out to be so far non-existent.

"Why Japan don't follow with mass vaccination as yet?"

why is Japan on the verge of cancelling the olympics again whereas there was 22K at the FA cup final and UK is on the verge of opening up.

"I've not had the vaccine yet, I'm waiting for the UK experiment to play out. It's not that I don't want to have it, but I've never been good at being told what to do. I love social distancing, mask wearing."

You are only social distancing and wearing a mask because you were told to do it. So you just killed your own argument.

the "2025 post pandemic conference" was a bit of a giveaway.

requires a machine so not applicable in many situations where regular LFTs can be used. However for some scenarios 25 sec test would be very useful

beleive the company RNS, not twitter.

twitter said 2M a week...crap. Twitter said 6th of may elections holding up gov...crap.

Lastest RNS said no 2M a week until gov test starts shipping AND when then manage to ramp up their own orders, fact.

sledgey121, the only person left in the entire world that beleives 2M a week happen.

H'es like one of those Japanese soldiers that still though the war was going on 20 years after it ended.

Someone catch him up :)

"I haven't really been keeping an eye on Omega lately, so just checked Twitter and must say I'm gobsmacked."

so when you said 20 mins earlier "It's stupid investors and rampers that are tweeting not the company.", you were stating as a fact something you had absolutely no knowledge about ?

Good to know

2M lfts per week in april was "confirmed" back in Feb by ODX via twitter.
That didn't happen

next week or next month. Its always some short term date in the future.

ODX associated no announcement on the gov test with the 6th of May elections. That was a week ago.

So we are due another "amazing things happening in the background, just wait until (insert an excuse here) and then (insert details of definite +ve news flow) will occur".

@computer909, don't know enough to say for sure but it is worth noting that FIND is a not for profit organisation that is not aligned with any government and they specifically do not endorse or validate a product. The eu list requires at least one member state to have validated the test. The inclusion in the list of the FIND data for those that have it appears to me to be just supplementary information.

individual countries may be entitled to buy such tests however:-

"Member States unanimously agreed on a Council Recommendation setting a common framework for the use of rapid antigen tests and the mutual recognition of COVID-19 test results across the EU2. "

It would therefore seem likely that member states will be using tests solely from this list. I hear a lot of people on here saying that UK is only one country and there will be demand from many other countries, but until Mologic gets on that list, then it is unlikely to be used by any of the member states. It is starting to look concerning that Mologic still has no validation at this time anywhere it Europe even though it's been around since before Christmas. Be interesting to know if GAD/Mologic are seeing any traction for sales, but of course as a private company they have no obligation to report.

It is interesting to note that Innova is not on the list, so that would imply Innova LFT are not being used in the EU. Also of interest is the fact that Surecreen are also not on the list.

testing is being run by council who will be receiving the test for free from Uk gov, which will only be issuing tests that have passed PHE validation.

Be amaziing if it doesn't say "made in china on them".

Ella10 , can you confirm where Mologic is mentioned ?
