We continue to wait for The NaDDir*, and his klown krew, at everyone’s favorite reverse-merger pink sheet Coronacrapper, Cytodyn (CYDY) to actually reveal the top line results from the CD12 study of loserlimab for Severe-to-Critical Chinese Coronavirus Disease. Since The NaDDir* is giving us extra time, we will continue our look back at Cytodyn’s long history of broken, empty, promises. Failing to deliver is a bit of a specialty for the klown krew.

For example, a little over a year ago, we recalled seeing a press release touting both a presentation by Jonah Sacha, PhD., and a new clinical trial in Thailand, testing loserlimab as an HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylactic (PrEP). Try as we might, however, we could not find it on the Cytodyn website, although the press release still shows up on Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, and other sources. Here is the timestamp from Bloomberg:

Yet on the Cytodyn website there is now a gap where the Jan 27th press release used to be:

Why did it disappear? Reading on from the headline we might get some clues:

First, Jonah Sacha is not a medical doctor, his work is on animals. Any abstract by Sacha would have nothing to do with the use of loserlimab as PrEP for HIV in humans. But more importantly, outside of this press release’s claims, there is no evidence of this presentation at the CROI conference in 2020. Here are the details from the press release:

Try as we might, we could find no record at all of such a presentation on the CROI 2020 website. Not in the Abstract E-Book, not in the online search tool. Nothing. Don’t believe that? Try it for yourself here.

Somewhat amazingly, four months later, back when the company took live questions on their conference calls, The NaDDir* stumbled through a weird excuse as to why this never materialized:

Surely then, the Cytofans would argue, that was just a mistake and rest of the press release was true. The part about doing a PrEP study with loserlimab in Thailand:

You remember, the one they had been touting since at least June 2019:

Would you be surprised to learn that the Thai PrEP trial, like the CROI presentation by Sacha, never happened?

So there you have it. Just one of the press releases from 2020 that Cytodyn would rather readers forget. There are well over 100 more press releases from 2020 for us to explore together, as we await the denouement.
