The evidence is clear by NWBO not filing a BLA. No CEO with a working cerebrum avoids filing with the FDA FIRST for a successful PIII trial. The problem is, it wasn't a successful trial. And you should already know that.
Come on, seriously? Why are you guys arguing this inane point? Do you really think they would have passed on submitting to the FDA if they thought it had a chance in hell of being approved? Do you think they are so utterly incompetent that they wouldn't have consulted with the FDA before making the decision to go elsewhere? Even I don't think they're that incompetent. Why are you even arguing this? Do you have even a lick of common sense?
