I recall being told here that a conflicts committee had looked into these kinds of allegations and found no issues or at least no conflicts that were being improperly addressed.
To rebut your point, NWBO could publish the minutes of the conflicts committee and other related documents for the committee’s work. Anyone could then presumably prove that the conflicts of interest issue was overblown etc.
Alternatively, if NWBO wants to just get rid of these criticisms altogether but without increasing their transparency, they have another option and one I would prefer they take instead as I will profit from it:
They could always just make darned sure to fully exploit the upcoming MHRA approval milestone for all it’s worth and pull out of every stop to ensure that working and retired retail shareholders fully share in the spoils.
