hellodolly...
Thanks for putting this page up. I find it interesting the VDEX "Investor Comment Form" many of us completed has somehow been misconstrued by VDEX as a pledge of shares in support of their proposal. Clearly, there is no such wording on the form, nor was my submittal of the form made with anything more than an expectation I'd be kept informed about the proposal and its details as they freshed it out. Well...after the 1st few days, I'd heard enough and sent an e-mail to Bill suggesting he needed to change his tone, stop the name calling, and provide better information about the "facts" he presented. Like others, I received a harassing e-mail back from Bill, who I have since blocked as a low-life..
I just sent off an e-mail to VDEX asking they reduce their shares count to eliminate mine, and sent e-mails to MNKD and the Board advising them of this. I do not like what has transpired and trust that MNKD mgt and Board will work things out to the best of our collective interests.

If you want Mannkind to be independent, better to drive up Afrezza sales quickly, and that's what Vdex is aiming to do.

This whole thing is getting more ridiculous by the day.

Can you please provide the e-mail for board of directors I have not been successful in finding them? If you ask Rose in a respectful fashion, she will personally see that your email, assuming it is also respectful, is received by the Board. I assume you have not tried this method. |

Actually Mango I have written to Kent in the past I am confident my letter reached him. I know how to do it. But I remain highly skeptical of those who claim to write the board members N |

Did you ever get the email for the Board of Directors? It wasn't on the website.

How about fighting for Mannkind?
If you are soft or hard trying to discredit this Company.
I am fighting you.
I realize that pleasant discussion is encouraged.
The fact remains, this is a battle of good verses evil.
Pick your side and be well.

Actually they do on both counts and I’m of the opinion that VDex will succeed in growing rapidly, no thanks to MannKind’s CEO. IMO he’s made a tactical error in his treatment of VDex. VDex’s commitment is to the patient and to shareholders but no longer to MannKind’s management.
I suspected that Castagna would re-launch a DTC campaign, possibly funded by new non-dilutive debt. Unfortunately the obstacles that have thwarted previous attempts remain and there is scant evidence that Castagna is working to improve Afrezza’s label, which limits what can be communicated to patients and physicians.
Even if the rumored marketing partnership with Dexcom comes the fruition the non-inferiority and black box warning on the label will be a major obstacle to significant growth.
I do expect some sales growth to be the result of a new DTC campaign designed to emphasize what distinguishes Afrezza from current insulin treatments with scripts possibly reaching 1,000-2,000 per week while over 250k Humalog and Novolog scripts continue to be written every week.
I know that I may come across as hostile to the current CEO but I remain supportive of Afrezza and MannKind’s delivery technology.
If the rumored MannKind-Dexcom alliance is true and CEO Castagna has plans for a conducting a superiority study using Dexcom CGM capability then I will be the first to commend the CEO.
Removing the impediments to market acceptance is an essential first step for growth.

Removing the impediments to market acceptance is an essential first step for growth. That may have more to do with the FDA and from a business regulatory perspective than a personal one. Seems many believe it's personal (not necessarily you) but others. |
