21日,处于诚信危机的Theranos 女CEO接受WSJ.D Live的采访(背景:
此前WSJ约谈她5个半月,一直被她拒绝)。接受了主持人大概40分钟时间的采访。录像+文字记录参考。评论里面继续大量的质疑。
对于WSJ的质疑,Holmes的解释基本一样,他们说的都是错的!怎么能用一个人的测试结果就说我们经过数万次的验证的测试是错的???(问题是Holmes拒绝提供对比数据。。。) 对于(1)里提及的到发信问询,
Holmes说法是我们根本没收到信啊,我们收到的话,一定会回应的,现在我们知道这件事情了,我们一定会follow up的
对于(3)里提及的Google Ventures的说法,Holmes说实际上
我们从来没找过Google Ventures,他们是主动来找我们的,然后我们对他们说的NO!;
对于自杀的生物化学家遗孀,Holmes表示这里说不合适(实际上Theranos的律师是多次威胁要起诉对方,嗯,Theranos的律师们规格很高的,第一任是大名鼎鼎如雷贯耳的David Boies,现任的是Heather King,都是Boies, Schiller & Flexner这家律所的)

个人感觉她在回答问题上基本上是绕开问题,换一个她自己的解释大家说的是错的,经常用analogy,然后实际上啥具体问题也没回答。反倒是对于一些人和事情有了比较bold的回应。
大会结束后,发了那两个重磅文章的WSJ记者John Carreyrou总结了一下Holmes的各种回应。一一对照,非常清楚,强烈推荐,看后很过瘾,写的真不赖。哦,对了哦,
这个John Carreyron不是啥无名小辈,实习记者,他是2003,2015两次普利策Pulitzer Prize获得者。普利策奖在新闻界的地位大家都知道哈。

Ms. Holmes confirmed that Theranos was subject to an “unannounced” inspection by the FDA, as the Journal had reported.
Ms. Holmes acknowledged that Theranos had recently made changes to the wording of statements on its website to reflect its reduced finger-prick test offering. The FDA process has “affected the overall offering that we provide and so, on an ongoing basis, as we do this work, we update our language,” she said.
Ms. Holmes also confirmed that Theranos uses an alternative process for proficiency testing, the system that regulators rely on to monitor laboratories’ testing accuracy.
Theranos doesn’t submit test results obtained from its proprietary finger-prick technology during proficiency testing, Ms. Holmes acknowledged.
Ms. Holmes said Theranos had never diluted the small blood samples collected from patients’ fingers in order to run some of its tests on traditional lab instruments. However, former employees say the company did engage in this practice, which they say was meant to increase the samples’ volume so that they would fit the specifications of those traditional machines.
对于Mr. Gassée 发信未得到答复,Holmes说没收到一事
Reached by phone Wednesday afternoon,
Mr. Gassée said he sent Ms. Holmes an email,
not a letter, at [email][email protected][/email]. “For a healthcare company, pretending not to have received a documented email message from a patient with serious health issues is simply unacceptable,” he said, adding that Theranos hasn’t followed up with him about his test results.
Google Venture那里给了如下回应

然后WSJ也就Holmes的一些bold言论做出了官方回应。贴在这里看下
[url=http://www.dowjones.com/press-room/wall-street-journal-statement-regarding-theranos-ceo-interview-at-wsjd-live/]http://www.dowjones.com/press-room/wall-street-journal-statement-regarding-theranos-ceo-interview-at-wsjd-live/[/url]

Several doctors have told the Journal they had stopped referring patients to Theranos because they didn’t trust its results.
Representatives of Theranos have said that the company’s lab work is accurate, that it is misleading to draw conclusions from “a handful of patient anecdotes” and that the company has performed tests on millions of patients referred by thousands of doctors and has received highly positive feedback.
最后需要强调的是,没有任何一个人不希望Holmes取得成功,恰恰相反,大家都希望她取得成功,发明新式的检测手段,准确,快速,几乎无痛的只需采取少量血就可以完成诸如 complete blood count (CBC)等测试(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count)。
后续故事就先不更新了。大家可以拭目以待,翘首期盼,Holmes宣布Theranos大获成功,“makes massive impact worldwide”的那一天!
