NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

Frankly, I think you are being paranoid. No, I don't believe that evil conspiracies did in Tesla or Reich. The risks NNVC take are

(1) Scientific. Fluicide just might not be safe and effective in humans.

(2) Financial. NNVC might just not have enough money to get through the increasingly expensive phase I, phase II, and phase III trials. They may have to "give away the store" to some vulture investor to get enough money for the phase III tests, effectively wiping out existing shareholders. If the phase II tests go well that will not be a probable outcome, but it's a possible one. (I fully expect that there will have to be some share dilution when NNVC raises money or finds a partner for phase III testing, but if NNVC is priced higher as a result of good phase II tests that won't be too bad, just par for the course for a biotech start up.)

NNVC does not have to worry that Rumsfeld is going to bring them down. As for the interminable dithering about that seems to be going on at NNVC, I think it's because the management is fully aware of the financial risks, and know they basically have one shot at proving the worth of Fluicide. So they want to make sure they have all their ducks in a row before they start the expensive testing. I'd do the same if I were in their position.
