Ready for fur to fly? Here we go....
Most of the research docs do is either funded by pharma or by the CF Foundation or the hospital itself
NOt sure where Moss got his funding, but if it's from the CFF, I think the CFF has an obligation to put research dollars towards treatments that will help the most patients.
Given that Cepacia affects less than 10% of the total CF population, I'm not surprised more research isn't being done.
People that donate to the CF FOundation expect that their dollars do the most good for the most people.
Yell and scream all you want - but this is simply reality.
Granted, those statements are only valid if Moss gets funding from the CFF. If it's from Stanford, I suppose donors direct where that research goes. If it's the feds or the NIH, they direct it. But Stanford with it's own review can do whatever they want - so perhaps the petition would help if that's the case.... but I"m not sure where Moss gets his funding.
