last year when they did, their booth blasted the message that our vaccine is tumor agnostic

It has been shown clearly that the same message has been promoted at NWBO's booth at ASCO for many many years. It's not a change that started up last year.

A decision on a simple approval for GBM alone shouldn't take nearly two years.

You are correct about this.

I don't have an answer for why it's taking so long. Could be political landscape and risk. Could be NWBO just really screwed up the application. I can say with almost complete and entire certainty that it is not because the application has been updated to include scope (Eden, agnostic, etc) not specified in the original application.

I do think, given the timing, that it is a possibility that everyone is slowrolling it so that NWBO can potentially have EDEN ready for the NICE submission as DD alluded to. But you've got to realize there is a very real (some, including me, would say likely) chance that it's just going slow because NWBO's application was really, really low quality.
