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.
you probably don't need to talk to people in the field, i'm sure you can track some patents if there is a trail for direct sales.
or see if corcept has a parent company, or has companies it owns
Brian Banks, Jian Ghomeshi, UVA, Duke Lacrosse, Jemma Beale, Roy Moore, Mattress Girl - where will it end?
Corcept is the company
Korlym is the drug
@Undead Mockingbird it doesn't.
have fun
aye
Do we really need to do that much detective work when we live in a world like that?
yes
because its fun
I guess.
Yeah, historically rape allegations are big number of the fake crimes used to discriminate against minorities
@Undead Mockingbird send it to 4chan and tell them to spread the word that white woman are behind metoo to imprison POC men, like Cobsy and Aziz.
Historically? More than half of exonerations of the Innoence Project TODAY are for rape.
That is although sexual assault only makes up 1/20th of all violent crime.
That means the rate of false convictions for rape is about 4x that of other violent crime.
It's precisely because of shit like this, because we try to decide cases for which we hav eno fucking evidence.
I mean more as it's more of a tradition than an one time fad
