Pompano Strong and growing stronger

     In all fairness to Board members Debra Hixon and Sara Leonardi, 90 percent could mean they spoke to 10 people and nine supported Cartwright.  That is a far cry from speaking to 100 people and 90 supported her.  The latter example of speaking to 100 RANDOM people is more credible than speaking to 10.

Lenacapravir works in a unique way, and because it is brand new, it should work in all individuals, even those who have virus that is resistant to other classes of HIV medications. […]
