just that it fucks with her research

@Timcast it also can be used to treat cushings

But the first list is for pregnancy terminations

That's it! I am never going to get another abortion.

oh is her last name blasey-ford or just ford?

did she marry a "ford"?

the thing tim got focuses on her supposedly published or listed on several papers about mifepristone, which is what Corcpet researches by their own admission. They also claim to have propriety stuff in the phrama field and they only sell 1 drug, which raises the question were their funding comes from for all this research.

maybe the pubs are from before, when she was just named blasey?

actually the pdf is arguing that the ingredient of the drug would become potentially disallowed which I would heavily doubt

Well it depends

but if the company wanted to produce an abortion drug they at least have the ingredients to do so

or they already have the patents for it

needs more investigation, still a reach

@mer.at ok so I just looked at a woman who works for a biomedical company who is our client. She has a hypenated last name. She, however, only uses her maiden name in her research papers

so that would make sense if she were doing the same thing

@Grenade123 its a pretty big reach

Who is the statement from anyway @Timcast

like who is making the statement and/or who sent it?

without knowing where they get their money, its a reach for sure

@Grenade123 you start talking about the way investment works in the biomedical field, you're asking for a rabbit hole none of us is likely equipped to look into

its a total mess

even the client we have has like 50 investors

It feels a little bit like tea leaf reading.

it does admittedly

oh i know the biomedical field is a mess

but its certainly a valid question.

"Mifepristone is a powerful glucocorticoid type II receptor antagonist and, since it does not interfere with normal cortisol homeostatis type I receptor transmission, may be especially useful for treating the cognitive effects of Cushing's syndrome.[40] However, the medication faces considerable controversy due to its use as an abortifacient. In February 2012, the FDA approved mifepristone to control high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) in adult patients who are not candidates for surgery, or who did not respond to prior surgery, with the warning that mifepristone should never be used by pregnant women."

It also feels a bit as if this circus is being validated by both sides inferring motivations and engaging in hyperbole.

Instead, they should have just shut it down.

If you think a game is rigged, you shouldn't play. Once you start throwing back the ball - you're in the game.

Alright well regardless of politifacts story, we don't know who it came from and we don't know anything about the company. So until either a name gets put to this or we see something that reinforces the idea that the company is engaging in research to produce an abortion drug, im dropping this

@Grenade123 yea to treat cushings

to those who continue, have fun

I guess that kind of detective work is fun.

It's to me, too.

But I hope that this is not the route that news outlets are going to take.

This BS should not be validated to begin with.

they sell a controversial drug for 1 disease. Their primary research has been in a drug who's other (or one other anyway) primary use is abortion. Its worth investigating where they get their money because it is most likely not from Korlym. But without finding a money trail, its a dead end. although more credible than her accusation

The only trail I want to see for Ford is a charge for perjury and lying under oath.

Most of the people I know who I could contact about this stuff are perpetually stressed... Mostly because they deal with biological product and have no time, but eh...

We are giving a free pass for yet another baseless rape allegation.
