I think the fact that Moderna is a large company plays a huge role. Larger companies can get away with this. Look at Tesla. If Elon was in charge of an OTC company and made the statements he does, the stock would get shredded. If you look at CVM, its CEO would try to pump its stock. I think that pumping had a negative effect.
Maybe this rushed release of early meaningless results regarding MRNA vaccines is an attempt to get ahead of any news hitting the airwaves regarding DCVAX. Let's hope that this is the case and Fireman's thoughts to something big coming soon actually comes about, because believe me NWBO cannot continue running on fumes and FIFE financing. Going up against MERCK/MRNA no matter how ineffective that treatment may end up being will be akin to going into a gunfight armed with a pen knife.IMHO
Merck and Moderna are well out of the woods with approved products and cash and legal counsel to defend themselves without distraction. NWBO is still going through the gauntlet until awareness brings them the clout they desperately need to achieve the point of attention and leverage from informed investors that Merck and Moderna have. NWBO just keeps making their moves forward and reporting their advances. The critical advance is commercial manufacturing and submissions based on that. At that point the market has something to work with time wise. Until that point manufacturing is a question mark. There is no question about manufacturing for Merck and Moderna. Best wishes.
