I see. Since you bring up Merck that manufactures the only allowable strain of BCG in the U.S. to fight bladder cancer and has and is waiting a full decade to increase their production even though there has been a decade long shortage and many patients have had to do without that therapy, and it happens to also be the strain DCVax-Direct would like to use, and has used (as a maturation agent) in studies prior to the shortage, for their therapy.

Interesting you should bring up Merck. Thanks for your input.

You still have doubt about Merck's motivation behind the massive construction of all those facilities? I always think you are smart and you know exactly how amazing DCVax-L is. But you have a job to do.

Did you see the platform of the manufacturing facilities? In fact, it should be called R&D facilities. Manufacturing is for research purposes.

Did you check the job postings from Merck West Point Campus? I mean the types of people Merck is recruiting.

Did you see Lisa Butterfield and others from University of Pittsburgh who have expertise on dendritic cells joining Merck?

When did Merck strike the deal with Daiichi? You think Merck abandoned collaboration with Seagen on ADCs after spending $1.6b and came to Daiichi for their lackluster ADCs?

Keep doing your job. I am waiting for the approval and BMS PDUFA on their SC Opdivo.

This conspiracy theory fails badly for several reasons.

Perhaps but it does make a great script for Netflix written by people with too much time on their hands. I suggest you and Flipper get together and get to it, do let me know when it screens :-)
