bradleysbest, I've been too afraid to voice that question. We had an "opening by" date. We had at least one seemingly solid location. Now, the opening date has come and gone by months and the one solid location no longer is presented. The website looks like it was constructed by middle school kids. Very sad indeed. I'm no longer sure this is an avenue of help for Afrezza.

Could they possibly be waiting on the mannkind branded product?

Where are the 11 alleged nursing assistant hires going to be working at? Any particular locations? Speaking of the nurse hiting news, where is the news on MNKD's website? I cannot locate it nor the news about the approximate 60 managers with the alleged new partner of which I cannot find the name of because I can't find it on MNKD's website and I am running late for an appointment? Should not this news be listed on MNKD's website under "NEWS" ??

Hate to be Debbie downer but if you are basing your center around a drug that might not be around in 6 months your window of opportunity to help. May be incredibly small.

Should not this news be listed on MNKD's website under "NEWS" ?? I guess I stomped the Investigators herein. Looks like I'll have to try and answer my own questions. Here's my current theory surrounding VDEX: MNKD never itself put any press release out about the Publicis-Touchpoint partnership or about the assciated Aftezza recent jobs which now total over eighty. VDEX is waiting for MNKD's labels on Afrezza before it opens and is also waiting on the Publicis eleven nurse educators to be hired and trained to start working at the VDEX centers. The Publicis article gives a description for the job of nurse educator with many tasks but it does not appear solid and one of the tasks it lists is that the nurse educators might also work with patients. However, I believe Matt said the other day that the nurse educators will work with patients in the doctors' offices to educate patients and reduce the time the doctors need to spend with the patients? Eleven nurse educators closely coincides with the rumor of a dozen VDEX centers someone started a rumor of months ago. VDEX has been secretive of their status and MNKD also appears to be somewhat furtive on the subject of the Publicis hirings meant to sell and support Afrezza (no news release about the jobs from MNKD that I've been able to find).

Reverselo, They were aware of the situation before they did their first announcement. Your scenario that Afrezza will not be around end of this year is not probable. It was Al Manns intention that it remains available. I am sure that they have a plan C to sell it basically for free it things do not work well.

Correction to my above: Matt did not say that nurse educators will be working in doctors' offices; it was Mike Catagna on the conference call who stated the nurse educators will be used "typically to call on the centers for support...." I'm guessing the Centers he is referring to are what is referenced in the Mannkind 2.0 slide shown at the end of the BOA presentation this past week with "Cooperative agreement in development for Diabetes Care Centers using Aftezza". Is he referring to VDEX here as the Centers and or perhaps other Centers? I did notice that the slide presentation shows Diabetes Care Centers typed as pronouns beginning in capital letters. Thus is the actual name of the care centers listed "Diabetes Care Centers" or is it perhaps a grammatical error and instead just a generic phrase referring to any diabetes care centers? Also, I still don't know why the nurse educator and 70 some other recent sales related jobs with TouchPoint are not referenced anywhere that I can find on MNKD's website. Seems to me potential investors should be able to easily find this information.

If he is talking about Diabetes Care Centers he probably means the big diabetes clinics in the regional hospitals rather than PCP offices. That would fit targeting Type 1 because that is where they mostly go.

Do people here expect mnkd to list every employee on their website? No company does that.

As stated in my previous post on the subject I was not referring to llisting each actual job but rather listing the alleged fact about the partership news with TouchPoint and the associated postions they will be filling. This is big news. Should not MNKD have this news on their website for potential investors to read and perhaps even for current investors who may not have heard or read this news? Mannkind never released a press release about the partnership with Publicis/Touchpoint am I correct?

Logical but would you open a company that revolves around a product that might not be around. I understand your bullish. I'm an investor in the stock but I'd wait to open this business until I knew the drug was not going to disappear I also commend them on trying to help Mnkd. I'm not taking anything away from that

Good point there in my book reverselo. Though I don't have any idea what VDEX might be planning, I don't think Castagna and MNKD necessarily view VDEX as important part of their current growth strategy. Looks like their are plenty of diabetic care centers to currently drum up plenty of business from.

Looks like their are plenty of diabetic care centers to currently drum up plenty of business from. I think they used the VDEX model to come up with the idea of nurse educators. Unfortunately it looks like MNKD has cut the legs out from underneath this business. As sales progress and there eventually are too many people who need training for MNKD's staff to help them, these centers might get the overflow, but that's only if MNKD doesn't hire more nurse educators.

PVRS: where do you get the idea that MannKind cut the legs out of VDEX. Please don't make up things you can't verify as being true. VDEX was not a MannKind company and I'm sure the investors of that operation will reveal their plan and model when it's ready. But let's not spread mis-information unless you know the real details regarding their business plan.
