Holistic practitioner faces charges for treatment
While Dr. Wilson remains on staff
Hey Ted!!!
Why is this NOT on Barrett. Polevoy and Bowditch's fraud we-
bsites??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
In February, the Food and Drug Administration said that
because Dr. Wilson filed “false and misleading†reports
and “repeatedly and deliberately violated regulations
Now let's look at cover-ups.
AND
DISHONESTY!!
Years earlier, a scientist just a few miles away from the
Gelsinger’s home in Tucson had raised serious questions
about whether the experiment was safe.
Documents
• Feb. 8, 2002: FDA letter, attempt to ban Dr. Wilson
from other experiments. • March 3, 2000: FDA Warning
Letter, original findings about the gene therapy
experiment.
(No coverups there,,,,,,,,,,,,,)
The trouble is, Paul Gelsinger says, Dr. Wilson’s team
had never told him that anyone had ever raised questions
about safety
(That's fine and dandy according to organized medicine
member, Peter Moran.)
ADVERSE REACTIONS WERE NOT REPORTED And that was just the
beginning. Federal investigators, pouring through Penn’s
records, announced at the conference that they had made a
series of startling discoveries, raising questions about
whether the doctors had covered up problems and broken basic
test rules.
In fact, just a few months before Jesse had signed up for
the experiment, several monkeys given viruses similar to
Jesse’s got sick. And two of them died.
(No coverup there)
The rules for the experiment said: Even if volunteers
didn’t get visibly ill, if tests showed that any of them
had a significant reaction called “grade 3,†the
experiment was supposed to be “halted†immediately.
Records show there were “grade 3†reactions in more than
one patient. The first time, doctors stopped, called the
government and got permission to continue, saying an unusual
condition with the patient might have been the cause. The
second time, they stopped, called and got permission again,
citing another unusual condition. But when it happened a
third time, they didn’t stop, didn’t call. Then, a
fourth time. They didn’t stop or call then either
(No coverups there).
For their own safety, volunteers weren’t supposed
to have a blood ammonia level higher than 50. But
people were coming in with higher levels and without
proper approval. The limit was raised to 70. When
Jesse signed up over the summer, he was within the
limits, but records show that when Penn doctors
tested him, just days before the experiment, his
reading was 114 — more than double the original
safety limit.
(That's way cool huh Peter???)
HIGH FINANCIAL STAKES With so many red flags from the monkey
deaths to the reactions in other volunteers, even to
Jesse’s own ammonia levels, Why had Dr. Wilson’s team
allowed the experiment to continue?
(Wonder if Peter can answer this question?)
At the University of Pennsylvania, the conflict
committee approved Dr. Wilson’s arrangement with
Genovo. In fact, the university itself owned a piece
of his company and stood to profit, too.
(Hmmmmmmmmm).
In a statement, the university acknowledged that some
information “should have been shared with the FDA
sooner.â€
(Just a minor little slip,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)
There was no information given to Jesse or his family about
the monkey deaths. There was no information given to Jesse
or his family about toxic results in prior patients. There
was no information that would allow Jesse and his family to
make any kind of informed decision.â€
(Peter STILL can't see any coverup!!!! NO dishonesty!)
CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS
He told congress that other private companies in the
race for cures had also been doing gene therapy
experiments and had also gotten adverse reactions.
But instead of sharing the information, government
rules allowed them to stamp those reactions
“confidential,†classifying them as trade secrets
to protect their research investments. So, while the
government knew about them, other researchers like
Dr. Wilson and volunteers like Jesse Gelsinger were
never allowed to see them.
(TRust the government!!!)
“I was outraged,†says Paul. “I had a right to know.
Jesse had a right to know.
(Oh my,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,emotions).
In February, the Food and Drug Administration said that
because Dr. Wilson filed “false and misleading†reports
and “repeatedly and deliberately violated regulations
REPEAT FOR THE HARD HEADED!!!
Dr. Wilson filed “false and misleading†reports and
“repeatedly and deliberately violated regulations
(No coverups,,,,,,,,,,no fraud,,,,,,,,,,no deliberate
violations,,,,,,,,,,,,)
This week marks the third anniversary of Jesse
Gelsinger’s death. At the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Wilson
****is still on the faculty****
(Soooooooooo in organized medicine,,,,,,,,,,,)
****Filing *false and misleading reports* is A
OK,,,,,,,,,,,,****
****REPEATED and DELIBERATE
violations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,is A OK.***
but no longer in charge of its gene therapy program. And, in
Congress, lawmakers are still debating legislation to
provide more protection for medical volunteers.
******in the end, whether Jesse was betrayed by the doctors
he and his family thought they could trust.*********
