Uncontrolled/Controlled Delivery of Drugs, con't
what else you should know

Should also point out that the Akarm Executive Committee page is a blatant plagiarization of a real pharmaceutical company's site, almost word-for-word, so it's doubtful that any of the specific details regarding who is an expert on what is relevant to the solution.
(PLEASE NOTE: The pharmaceutical website that the information is taken from is ABSOLUTELY NOT INGAME.)

To further beat a dead horse, Jim Gaffney's work with uncontrolled delivery of drugs would fit nicely when working with heroin addicts (who do not commonly regulate the amount or quality of drug that enters their systems), whereas Andrew's work with microcorpusculate drug delivery systems, submicron emulsions, and transdermal delivery systems would fit nicely in with controlled systems because that's exactly what all these types of drug designs do. It's actually sort of redundant.

To Lacey

In your professional opinion, would Jim Gaffney have access to the same test results as Andrew? Would he have also known about the adverse effects? (In real life anyway?)

i heard it be4 on this forum but i never bothered to ask so here it is:
When did heroin come into play. And why would Gaffney be working with heroin addicts if the company works on making medicine for everyday ailments....like sleep medication (QUATER) or cold medication (FREEVIRA).

It's impossible to say, because we don't know who the team was that was working on Freevira. I would guess that because Jim is the Senior Chief Scientist, Andrew would be reporting to him, at least to some degree, and Jim would have some general knowledge about the drug and the testing status. When Andrew states that he is "going to senior management", it could mean Jim, Grant, or the ethics officer (the Russian chick, I forget her name at the moment). I doubt he'd go to Carson Brees, because Brees is the Financial Officer and wouldn't have a clue what Andrew's data meant.

In real life, I would suspect, based on Andrew's statement on the ihaveenemies.com website, that they'd know in a reasonable amount of time that the drug had adverse effects, but then again, adverse effects are found in drugs all the time after FDA approval and are pulled from the market.

All this being said, we have to remember that Andrew thought his life was in danger, which would obviously factor into his decision about who he could trust with his information. Evidently, he trusted the wrong person. It all depends on when he found this information out and how much Jim already knew at that point. If Andrew didn't document his findings (or hid his findings---which is what I think we all suspect the snooping in his office is looking for), Jim would have no way of knowing unless Andrew told him.

I guess I took the long way 'round to say "I have no idea", didn't I??? Sorry I couldn't be more help...there's just not enough information out there at this point.

***I should also note that I'm a psychologist, not a psychiatrist (which means I don't prescribe drugs), but am necessarily familiar with them and their effects in my particular field.

From Jim's AKARM blurb:

Jim Gaffney (Senior Chief Scientist): Mr. Gaffney is the senior Chief Scientist on staff. His areas of expertise cover uncontrolled delivery of drugs and submicron emulsions.

Dr. Gaffney has written over 20 patent applications. He's a graduate of the Southern Columbia University and completed his PhD thesis on acute mental disorders of habitual heroin patients.

I know this was for Lacy, but in real life (have experience), if there was a clinical trial that did not go as planned, Andrew would have the responsibility to immedately reveal that result and report it. In real life it would have to have a clinical review by a Doctor. Since Jim Gaffney was the Senior Scientist, and and Andrew's superior, and a PHD, that would be the most logical person that would be told first - he would not go over his head and go running to the CEO first. The CEO would be told, but there would be a protocol of telling the Senior Scientist. Also the ethical officer (the Russian lady) would have the responsibility to see that FDA rules were being followed.

Here: http://www.akarmcorp.com/exec.php

It's not at all uncommon to study drug addicts when you are also researching drug delivery systems, nor is it unusual to study any sort of dual-diagnosis patient (a patient who has a mental disorder and a drug/alcohol addiction), but the way I understand it, Gaffney doesn't necessarily study them now, but wrote his thesis on them.

Again, the vast majority of the information found on the "Executive Committee" page of the Akarm website is a blatant plagairization of another REAL LIFE (NOT INGAME) pharmaceutical company's website, so don't read too much into all of this. I'm sure it's simply due to the fact that the creators needed to make the Akarm website look 'real' and just copy/pasted what they found online themselves.

Freevira

How much of this do you think actually has to do with Freevira? WAAAAAAAy back in April (see 1st test clue) Andrew thought someone was watching him. In December (date? Blog not dated, but time is 4:43 pm) Sonia wrote in her blog that "my research facility stumbled upon a huge discovery...will change the world in small but potent way". On 12/20 she mentioned her boss's name, Andrew.

They didn't know until May that Freevira wasn't what it was supposed to be.

So who was watching him in April, that may have led to t his?

Where is the new video they promised today? I've stayed up half the night waiting for it...
