“We're not talking about polio or smallpox. Those diseases were hard to eradicate. We're talking about nutritional diseases. This should be a no-brainer. Provide access to better food and the disease will go away.”

“Basically, what they're working on here is a smallpox drug. As you know, the vaccine does have a lot of side effects. And this small, tiny basically New York-based company, with its labs out in Oregon, is working on this drug, ... And they just recently announced a contract from the Army -- $1.6 million. It's obviously speculative and somewhere along the line the company is going to have to raise money.”
