In the famous email from JDRF one doctor said the following: "We suggest that the article should have reported that the clinical effects of BCG on type-1 diabetes have already been evaluated in humans in several other contexts. In one published study, injection of this drug into diabetic adults had no effect on their progression to disease. In two other studies, it has been found that children at risk of developing type-1 diabetes actually developed overt disease more rapidly when they had been vaccinated with BCG."
Does this mean that Faustman has something new or, as the doctor says, trying something that has already been shown not to work? I hope that it is the former.
