BIOPORT'S STOCK VALUE TODAY

[Guest guest]

Bioport's share value today is 10.35. The stock has lost over 1/6th

its value since the IPO was held only 4 weeks ago.

Is Bioport worth the $500 million El Hibri set as its current value?

Well, the cost of one dose of anthrax vaccine rose from about $2.25

per dose to $24.00 per dose since 1998. Not bad, a tenfold

increase. Bioport has contracts with DOD and HHS for nearly $500

million for vaccine for the military and civilian stockpiles.

On the other hand, even if this poison was free, how many people

would take it voluntarily? How much protection, if any, will it

provide for weaponized anthrax strains selected for virulence against

Americans? No one knows. Even the Army has a policy to immediately

give antibiotics to troops exposed to anthrax, even when fully

immunized. We know the antibiotics are extremely effective when

given soon after exposure, based on those exposed to the anthrax

letters, and treated before becoming severely ill.

Let the buyer beware. God help the inoculees.
