You don’t have to have merit to file a lawsuit. You can try to intimidate or bleed a defendant out.

But this is also how you end up with stuff blowing up in your face spectacularly.

It’s a pretty wild allegation. They would have to have known about the other sources of exposure and deliberately withheld that information.

That’s what makes it do damning. If J&J proves this, it would be a disaster for the researchers.

I’ll be very interested in seeing how this plays out.
