"There is much to say about the meeting, but one of several things that stood out were the distressing votes cast by one of the few ME community’s specialist physicians, Dr. Anthony Komaroff of Harvard University. Dr. Komaroff voted “no” on all four questions, even on the one question that the majority of the committee voted “yes” on! Throughout the meeting, Dr. Komaroff was hostile and dismissive towards Hemispherx, the sponsor of Ampligen. Still, his vote came as a shock to patients many of whom had pegged him as being on our team. Make sense, right?! Unlike some of the other committee member who obviously knew nothing about the illness, Dr. Komaroff is familiar with the disease, probably more through his research than through clinical work, but nevertheless. Why would somebody like him sell out the patients he is studying?"
