Big Pharma partnering with NWBO (i.e. taking a stake) would be HUGE for shareholders because it would propel the ups upward and onward once and for all. Toxic financing causing tremendous dilution would hurt the ups although keep the company independent but at this point do you want an independent company going all or nothing or a sure thing? I will take door number one Jack ( a definite no brainer but most of all it would shut up Pyr once and for all and sometimes revenge is sweeter than money)!
