Another report today was released from the Coalition, we have it here today:
"Although the Panacea was indeed not as thoroughly tested in its' current form as it was in its' previous forms, the data should reveal the fact that the main difference and problem between the previous Panaceas and the current one was resolved, and since most of the data we needed was already collected from previous tests it was decided that only the new functions required testing once the new version was created. However, this is an easy mistake to make for those who were not present at the time of the research, and perhaps not properly conveyed by the data. Coalition doctors and researchers who worked on Panacea are eager to meet with Imperial counterparts in an effort to help them better understand the details of the Panacea.
"The fact that the Prime Minister was willing to take the risk of being the first patient, to show he would not jeprodize any other member of the Coalition before himself in such a serious matter, was his choice to make. This too is the sort of detail that was left out of the data, and thus more fleshing out may be required, which the Coalition would be glad to offer.
"We would also like to say that as of now, the only intergalactic government to protest the Panacea is the Empire, and even then condemnation from the highest sources has yet to come. The calls for the need to militarily intervene are probably grossly exagerated, and we have chosen to dismiss them at this time as merely anxious people who misunderstand our intent.
"As it was previously made clear, the Panacea is voluntary, and regular doctoring and medical services will remain open and available to all. There is a fact sheet and a fairly strong PR campaign still in effect to better inform the citizens of the Coalition before they make their decision. Those conditions which Panacea does not cure - such as genetic problems, physical problems, or injuries - will be easier to focus on now that pressure has been relieved eslewhere. No rights are being breached, and there has yet to be any signs of problems or complaints from within the Coalition, considering it is they who have been under the effects of the Panacea for longest so far.
"We wish to better aide the people of the galaxy, and as such we are still committed to convincing the government as soon as possible that this process is safe. Today alone, there were easily thousands of deaths across the massive population of the Empire that could have been saved by Panacea, and every day wasted is another number of unnecessary deaths.
"As for the Belgardi case, we wish to reaffirm our stance that acting for the public good is infinitely more important then any other element of the Coalition's law or government. The Panacea is such a massive revolution in the nature of health-care that it is seen as an issue of public good and is thus neither intellectual property nor copyrighted, any more then you could copyright universal healthcare and sue governments for implementing similar government programs.
"Considering the current state of political affairs, as well, we do not wish to address the Belgardi Corporation at this time. The Judiciary branch is obliged to hear the case, and is then near-certain to dismiss it, as it does not fit properly with any part of Coalition Legal Code.
"These are the only statements we have to make at this time, the Coalition is establishing a Panacea Information and Contact Center, where those with problems with the Panacea, or the desire for more information may call and leave detailed information, to ensure any problems that do occur are dealt with. Thank you."
It appears that several smaller governments around the galaxy are beginning tentative testing of the Panacea, and are finding similar results of success. The scientific communities across the galaxy - with the noticeable exception of those under control of the Empire - have yet to find any major problem with Panacea at this time. Many are starting to wonder and speculate as to the factual support the Empire can bring to the table, as the Coalition has so far been very forthcoming, releasing massive volumes of information that seem to come together quite nicely. Independant states have been siding with the Coalition, it seems, as the tightly government controlled scientific community of the Empire is not seen as trustworthy, mainly thanks to a very subtle 'campaign of comments' from people from across the scientific landscape of the galaxy.
The Belgardi case has also raised a few eyebrows, due to recent rumours of Belgardi being threatened by break-ins and other suspicious activity. It is unknown if there is any connection at this time. The Coalition has apparently allowed the case to be heard in their boarders, and is expected to throw it out immeadietly.
