I listened to all of Dr. Steve Rosenberg's presentation all the way to the end (almost 1 hour). In the time slot you suggested he states:

"there are no vaccines that are therapeutic, that have been shown to be therapeutic against human cancers and so that is one of the huge advantages of this cell transfer approaches . . .there are many companies seeing if they can immunize against cancers well over a dozen I could name right off the bag names being Neon and Bridgestone are the biggest companies trying to develop these immune response vaccines and to my knowledge the have not seen response and the few study show you can raise some T cells but not enough . . . the problem you can not manipulate the host to get rid enough of the regulatory cells. . . so vaccines that would be wonderful since all you have to do is inject a patient with an antigen unfortunately they just have not been made to work yet".

Clearly Dr Rosenberg has no knowledge whatsoever of NWBO and they have accomplished with DCVAX . . . and he is the main person for cancer immuno therapy at the NIH . . . REALLY??? Someone should make him aware of the still blinded data that has been published so he doesn't go around making apparently uninformed statements like:

"so vaccines that would be wonderful since all you have to do is inject a patient with an antigen unfortunately they just have not been made to work yet"

He is also clearly and understandably enamored with his technique that even with his presentation has had limited and fairly dated success stories. Many of his example go back to 2005 or 2012 and one was a blood cancer not a solid tumor cancer in which he started presentation stating that that is where we need to focus treatment because much of what we have today for cancer treatments is substantially ineffective in this arena. Are the big names in cancer vaccine therapy really Bridgestone and Neon? He sounds substantially out of touch.
