Well, yeah - looks like the same guy to me. I'm afraid I fail to see your point here, dear kickstones (whereas your point about Chiara Bonini and her oddly inconsistent looks - and apparent age - had some merit...)
Dear Simon, if I remember rightly, you once questioned, along the lines, if US soldiers really existed to the numbers they are made out be oversees.
I'm just questioning the existence of the members of the team at the Hematology Unit, San Raffaele Scientific Institute.
Chiara Bonini looks, to my eyes, are clearly different.
I agree, Dr. Fabio Ciceri's latter profiles are similar, however, the initial two i'm not so sure about. And the second one, according to fotoforensics data,
had a Modify Date in 2013.
Obviously they got to have someone appear on PharmaStar TV you tube programmes etc..its not beyond the realms of the imagination that these could be hired help playing to a script. This could be there 'Paris' moment.
Only this a different agenda, continued and justified funding on the basis they put out news annoucement of 'new ground breaking cure / therapy', how often we heard that statement. However, it's not certain it works so they got to keep on researching for a few more heavily funded years.
This is what now appears, only came across it today on, Chiara Bonini Curriculum Vitae.....

I don't know Simon, maybe everything is above board, I'm just not excepting everything at face value, just putting this out there so folk can verify the situation. Because for me the below picture doesn't sit right, especially when magnified. ( I'd put a few example on the post, but I'm not that skilled)
I suppose, at the end of the day all someone has to do is wait outside San Raffaele Scientific Institute and photograph these people.
