Brad Grimm Really? What's this then?

But the problem remains, you didn't make a machine to analyze a drop of blood.

You may be confusing me with tech entrepreneurs who cash out and walk away wealthy.  I didn't.  I never sold a share despite all the opportunities to do so. Never enriched myself. I gave everything I had to our company, to seeing our mission through, down to the last second it lived.  What I have to give is blood, sweat, and tears. And from the torment of my fight over the last ten years, and indomitable fire in me to realize our vision for affordable, accessible healthcare, to realize change. I want to serve our country.  Pain stokes a fire that cannot be extinguished. As I've endured the violence of this journey, I have studied relentlessly over the past eight years. I have studied and studied profound learnings from my failures. And I have studied and researched technology developments, incessantly - in sensors, drug delivery, drug development, and AI. All for this moment. This moment in which AI is rewriting the rules of diagnostics, drug discovery, and patient care, and the policy decisions we make will determine whether that transformation lowers costs and expands access, makes America Healthy again, or simply concentrates profits. This is the moment that will define our country's leadership in AI and in healthcare. This moment in which innovation is pivotal to curbing healthcare costs, and building a world in which no one has to say goodbye too soon to those they love because we don't catch disease in time.  Theranos challenged the profit center of Big Healthcare - an industry that refuses to change, because change means loss of profits. But they did not kill our dream. Prosecutors attacked our innovations. But failure is part of creating future worlds. And now more than ever we must innovate.  For fifteen years I worked 20 hour days, 7 days a week, often living and sleeping in the office. I never took a sick day. I never took a vacation away from work. I know how to give all I have in me to a mission. Now that drive is ignited by the pain of having been ripped from my babies, and the love of my life, in the fight to prove my innocence. By my promise to build a better world for them out of this.  I want to serve our country. I want to apply the thousand lessons burned into me. I want to help us lead as innovators in healthcare. I want to ensure the dream of affordable, accessible healthcare becomes true in a world of AI for all Americans.

@brad_grimm Looks like the Theranos Minilab. A far cry from the promises of the Edison to be fair.

@brad_grimm We built an Edison?

@brad_grimm I'm aware. Just saying, the Minilab is no Edison. Although iirc Minilab was more geared towards being immediately useful for the Zika outbreak at the time? Most people are referring to the Edison when discussing Theranos, although they probably don't know the difference.

Well, I mean that could do it consistently with medical level accuracy, the theory was a good idea though. Shouldn't have been released.

@brad_grimm You’re fake low voice is all I got out of this.

@brad_grimm Apparently it was useless. Because there are hundreds of legit companies in med-tech who are capable of building complex machines and understand microfluidics, yet none of these non-fraud companies made a copy of your fraud machine because it was a fraud.

@brad_grimm A machine that doesn’t do what you claimed it did, hence your fraud conviction

@brad_grimm An inmate maker.

@brad_grimm Your bullshit tech that didn't actually work ?

@brad_grimm And than you sent actually blood tests out because they didn’t work and didn’t do what you said it would. Fuck you, lying con woman. Your Steve Jobs imitation was psychotic, also

@brad_grimm A joke, It could only run about 12 tests (out of the 200+ it advertised), and even those produced inaccurate results. The machine was physically unreliable — pieces fell off, doors wouldn't close, and it couldn't regulate its temperature.

@brad_grimm Another lie

@brad_grimm A Fake piece of shit

@brad_grimm Girl, srsly? SMH
