what's going on?

what's going on?I would have thought the SP would have risen steadily from today's news, not now be lower than the open, and just higher than the close of yesterday. Not on news like that.

But are investors or potential investors getting as confused as I am?

I thought MDG was working on an H1N1 vaccine FOR THIS AUTUMN. (And the last thing I read from the company was about H1N1 vaccine trials in mice, I believe. No humans.)

Today's news is about a H5N1 vaccine (NOT H1N1) for FOR THREE YEARS FROM NOW and being tested in HUMANS. (Isn't that what the Reuter's story said?) So what's going on?

The company's own "blurb" at the bottom of it's releases now says:

"Medicago is developing VLP vaccines to protect against H5N1 pandemicinfluenza, ".... what happened to H1N1?

"using a transient expression system which producesrecombinant vaccine antigens in non-transgenic plants. This technologyhas potential to offer advantages of speed and cost over competitivetechnologies. It could deliver a vaccine for testing in about a monthafter the identification and reception of genetic sequences from apandemic strain.".... but does this mean it can make a vaccine in a month, ONCE IT'S APPROVED, about THREE YEARS from now?? What happened to H1N1 this fall?

"This production time frame has the potential to allowvaccination of the population before the first wave of a pandemicstrikes and to supply large volumes of vaccine antigens to the worldmarket.".... again, are they talking about the pandemic of THIS AUTUMN with the "swine flu", or the one they will now test on humans and have ready in 2013 for the AVIAN FLU??

Anyhow, I've lost the thread. Where is MDG going with all this?

Who's going to buy shares for high prices with this kind of message stream coming out? I don't get it.

I know you all have your own explanations as to why the share price is not higher right now.

But that's mine.
