I disagree once agin with you, especially if you look at all the forth coming pr's combined.
Wouldn't you start out with the weakest pr first or last? Would you test the waters so to say with the first one, and the first one being the weakest. I would.
I bet there will a pr each day going forth starting tomorrow or Wed.

You may be right about that - you certainly are about how the first PR was received - although Adam and the market helped that along. It's rather amazing to me that the Mayo Clinic measles virus patient has received so much national coverage (and I can't deny that is very interesting), but that all you could hear were crickets when this sarcoma lung case pr'd.

From a pr, marketing, advertising perspective only - I think a separate PR addressing each area of focus (breast to brain metastasis, colon, melanoma, and "other") would be a unique way of presenting the information - with each given it's due on its own - as opposed to lumping it all together into one. I think if they did it like this, the interest would start to really grow - both as a result of the novel approach this type of public relations campaign would be - as well as for the amazing results we all hope direct is capable of. People would start to sit up and pay attention - and wonder what case will next be revealed. I know I am wondering what the next case will be. And didn't Les in his email imply something like that? I can't remember and I don't have time to go hunt for the post.

I don't know if the company has to give exact data (percentages of necrosis, etc.) by ASCO - or ever - or if they can wait and give that more detailed information at ASCO.

I think if I were an oncologist, and I'd read these multiple pr's (that didn't have the exact details), I would definitely stop by the monster NWBO booth at ASCO to inquire about those exact percentages.

I understand that wouldn't be the way most bio company's pr's are done - but NWBO doesn't do things in the usual way (speaking out when AF puts out a hit piece, etc.). And they have a product that appears to perhaps be "killing" all types of cancer - not just one. Which is also different.

Anyhow, it's more a marketing curiosity now to me as to how they plan to address this - I think either way, it'll be an interesting two weeks.
