Comment on DRACO: Death to the Virus by CogitoErgoBibo

Thank you Ivan, it took quite a bit of research since I’m focused on targeted cancer therapies. Both Doug and I have our lawyers working on getting the company setup so we’ll keep everyone informed. I have a meeting with mine tomorrow morning (a good friend and brilliant mind).

If you can find articles discussing viral infection such as the one on NBC News this morning, and post a link to my article that would be helpful. So far, with that type of action (and someone posting it to “hacker news” which was HUGE), a few thousand people have read it… and several people have offered to help, and two sent letters to the Gates Foundation.

I will keep doing what I’m doing, but, as I mentioned, I don’t care by whom it gets done… just that it gets done right and people’s lives benefit.

Thanks Hannon and Scott. I will definitely spread the word as much as I could. I read your article Scott. I thought it was wonderful. I had gone as far as writing the president about Dr. Riders work. No replies, off course. This is however not the time to give up. Let me know what else I can do.

John.

Hi Ivan,

No doubt you are correct! It’s baffling that the Gates foundation would proceed that way.

I began work on a paper that will describe why DRACO looks like it will stop an HIV infection. I am waiting on Dr. Rider, who is busy on grant apps, to get back to me on my approach.

As to the CRADA, Dr. Rider sent me the contact info and I sent a request for the information last week. She was out during the beginning of the week, but did not get back to me when she returned. I will call Tuesday (and then escalate if necessary) if I don’t see anything by then.

Just goes to show… you don’t need a conspiracy when people can read about what looks like it most likely be a historic end to viral infections, and yet they do next to nothing.

(in case you missed above) By the way, if you can spread the work, I wrote an article that Dr. Rider reviewed… it describes, not only DRACO, but also gives a lay presentation on the molecular biology behind it.

Please spread it as wide as you can… the more attention there is on it, the more likely something will get done… this is one hell of a squeaky wheel

We have encountered some hurdles in creating a corporation. We are currently looking at Medstartr as an option to fund DRACO. We still want to see this happen so are pursuing both options.

As of this moment, we need to review the CRADA from MIT to ensure Medstartr is a viable option. We’ll then go from there.

Now that Bill Gates wants to fund development of condoms, we can attempt to contact him on this issue. Even though “prevention is better than cure,”
in this case however, it is better to fund cure than prevention. Could anyone please inform us on the progress so far with the formation of the corporation talked about? Thanks

Thank you for the article, and I am happy that Doctor Rider liked what read.

Hello all,

My article is complete… http://blog.readingthinkingandwriting.com/?p=500

No professional edit, but I think I was pretty thorough. Dr. Rider read it early on and like what he read, so hopefully it will be well received.

Take care,
Scott

Ivan,

Thank you! I am relieved that we are on the same wavelength.

Tony,
I had read most of the inputs from you all. And your statement below
“That being the undeniable case, if some savvy legal person can then interface the charities you’ve mentioned to the corporation I’ve mentioned, then everything snaps together nicely.” is exactly what I had in mind when I mentioned other foundations. This would be the most appropriate route to raise money fast. The cooperation will have to approach these other charity foundations for funding.

Thanks for the comments Ivan. As others have mentioned we’re working towards getting this funded and believe it could help countless numbers of people.

Kickstarter and CureLauncher are most likely not the best options for us but if the other organizations which you mentioned are able to provide funding either directly to MIT or via our corporation that would be great.

The more funding we can ultimately get to Dr. Rider the better!

Thanks for the interest.
