I did read your post, and found your questions unnecessary. There was no need for me to clarify what I meant by "nope, no checkpoint inhibitor as of yet. Only mentioned a discussion a year ago. Nothing has become of it". But yet, I did. I never said the door to was shut. Instead I said they were interested, to which you asked me to elaborate who I meant. Clearly their slides demonstrate they're interested. You acknowledge that, so in part we're saying the same thing. The difference between our view is on where you think the preliminary discussions may be. You want to hope that mentions on a slide allude to some on-going talks. And I interpret it instead as "look at our potential of combing with CI".

"BUT, as far as big Pharma being interested enough to partner is bogus." -- RK

I should have added IN MY OPINION. BUT in my opinion was written all over the place. And clearly the statement points to one of strong opinion. The idea that an arm of a study is being developed is BOGUS. I explained why I thought so. How you have issue with it is weird to me. Why care about my opinion in the first place. And second, I made it clear where my views stand. I think it is valid to expect that STRONG proven efficacy will be needed for a partnership. AND lower cost. That said, it doesn't mean you need to agree with me. But having issue with my opinion, well that's weird to me.

I do believe NWBT understands there are obstacles they must overcome prior to any big biotech partnership. And I happen to agree with DoGood that they're trying to work on it But, I still think they need at least decent results even if they can lower cost and ease. AND none of us know if they have decent results from survival lines on a graph. I MADE it quite clear that the vaccine has potential and merits exploration. BUT it is unproven at this point. And yes, I shared my doubts over their ability to defeat inoperable tumors on their own. It's an opinion based on facts seen to date. And I imagine that BIG PHARMA is evaluating them on the same facts the I am. As such, again. it is why I think they need strong Phase III study results at this point to continue to explore partnership discussions, IMO.

If there had been talks between NWBO and BP, they would have been confidential and you wouldn't know about it! -- longfellow

I disagree. I think they would milk that baby, and tell us that they are in discussion with a CI. If it were true, they should tell us. You do not ruin confidentiality discussions by mentioning it. Partnering with CI is the craze right now, and so any biotech that is doing it, is mentioning it on SLIDES no less.
