Glaxosmithkline Share Price (GSK)

And years. And years.

I agree with what you say. How on earth can GSK assert that there was no risk with Zantac then pay the odd claimant off? Either your stance is total resistance or throw your hands up. I cannot, and will not, believe that with jury trials on the horizon paying off anyone is wise. In the minds of the jury, from which clearly this event is not hidden as it is in the public domain, there will now be something of truth in claims. Pathetic. I was going to buy some more GSK at this depressed price but I now I believe there will be a succession of these sort of settlements constantly depressing the SP, so no more purchases until it is resolved which could take years.

The changed CDC guidance is discussed in the latest TWiV [This Week in Virology] podcast; worth a listen:

A few noteworthy points:

The protein based RSV vaccines are proving to give lasting immunity, but there is only data for under 2 years so far, so there may be a clinical need for repeated vaccination every few years. Another reason the CDC is not recommending annual vaccines is because the Pfizer vaccine has an elevated risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome - there is no such elevated risk with GSK's.

The recommendation is still there for an annual vaccine for over 75s and others over 60 with other risk factors. Those turning 60 and others over 60 who have yet to be vaccinated are still recommended to get an RSV vaccine.

I think you will find GSK is very very unloved as a US class action by 70k free loaders does not help the SP ! . Good news however late Friday we paid one ambulance chasing person off so it will be interesting if the market pick up on that ?I like to think GSK are trying to sow some doubt re the other 70k in the class action and offering them some kind of payoff for the greater good although it does make my blood boil. I have sold 60% of my holding recently holding the remainder in the hope of back room deals and brown envelopes saves the day ?.Mind you when the UK NHS even goes for the rival US jabs recently it makes me wonder why I still have a small holding here ? Our Dame has done the worst job in GSK history if you ask me.

Why is she so unloved? RSV decent. Shame they aren’t pursuing bird flu.
