Did Rob Have an Inkling?Thank goodness Rob didn't wait around for REB and HC approval to carry out clinical trials in Canada. One has to wonder if he had some idea that HC bureaucracy would be so extremely slow that they applied for and received approval for the clinical trials in Brazil a week after their application in Canada (last March).
How slow? Health Canada authorized only 7 rapid antigen POC test devices in ALL of 2021. They didn't authorize any in July, August or September ...one in each of October, November and December. Before anyone thinks there were a great deal of submissions to go through ...there weren't.
It also puts into perspective the David and Goliath story and the challenges Rob has faced with timelines. Looking forward to an exciting week ahead.
Cheers!!!
