Doc, you're usually factual and objective in your posts, but it looks like you went subjective all ahead on this one. But let's break it down.
"Even the bears say that big pharma has no interest in advancing DCVax but they claim a different reason for this than is actually more likely the case. There is no publicized conspiracy going on rather it’s what hasn’t happened that tells the story. Big pharma knows DC therapy makes their checkpoint inhibitors work better and that NWBO has a combo patent granted in many parts of the world while the U.S. lags behind in granting this."
True as far as it goes. NWBO has combo patents granted in the UK, Europe, Japan, China, and Australia. Has one pending in the US since 2020 but the process is normally lengthy here (4 to 7 yrs), and there isn't anything I can find that would support big pharma influence in the process.
"Pretty easy to see why there might be big pharma influence behind this lack of grant in the biggest $ pharma market in the world while their checkpoint inhibitors continue to take in billions of dollars every quarter."
Easy to see if you want to develop a theory for the delay if you're a bear and looking for a negative outcome, but that's all it is - a theory unsupported by facts
"Where is the development partnership with NWBO to improve outcomes and possibly make the use of checkpoint inhibitors safer for patients sooner rather than later? You didn’t miss anything overtly obvious. It’s what is not happening that tells the rest of the story."
Are there any? I don't know but any possibilities or approaches at this level would be covered by NDAs, so wouldn't be known.
So at first glance looks tempting, but in the end most probably just another bear attempt to do what bears normally do in the woods.
