temore=E2=80=99s latest letter to the community is a more refined public re=
lations exercise than the WPI=E2=80=99s last couple of attempts, but essent=
ially remains a P.R. exercise. What Mrs. Whittemore and Dr. Lombardi really=
need to address are the key questions raised by Dr. Mikovits, as well as b=
y posters on their Facebook page. For example, they have given no indicatio=
n yet that they are going to do a rigorous quality assurance review of Lomb=
ardi=E2=80=99s clinical and research labs, including clinical validation of=
the VIPDx assays and any research assays to be used in the future. Without=
this, it will be difficult to rely upon future commercial and =E2=80=93 mo=
st importantly =E2=80=93 research test results coming from the WPI. It is c=
rucial that the WPI views such questions not as unfounded allegations but a=
s grave concerns raised by their senior researcher and principal investigat=
or, as well as by the patient community.=0A=C2=A0=0AThanks all, and thanks =
