We accepted the fact that there was so much risk at the beginning, we indemnified the country. We accepted the fact that there was so much risk, we indemnified the GPs, the nurses or whoever was administering it. We got one of our top medical surveillance people to do a report who found what we thought might be found, namely, a 13-fold higher risk in those vaccinated. Why are we still pursuing it?
