Phase two trial of its vaccine candidate. Where do you want to begin beginning of june, theyre talking about phase three. I love the confidence. There was a time where if you did that, the fda would really call you out say basically, how dare you plan phase three . You have to get phase two done this is a sign once again that the level of fda meaning business is extraordinary. The time that it takes to do these things is being at a level that no one has ever seen.
