I had the same idea....its exactly the type of out of box thinking that you never know could happen. Even Peregrine partnering with them ... how much grant money does NIH send out for innovation ?? If they like what they have in Bavi and the one major reason I like the NIH idea is they will have no doubt in their mind about "holding" any technology back
Bottom line is if the so called... "coding" errors never happened... and we did come close to partnering back a couple months ago? Ironically.... Peregrine sits in a better situation for these reasons:
1) Other partnering BP's that didn't take things further may have thought about it more and realized that someone will be there to partner with them ... or teaming up with someone else to pool monies together
2) More data will be coming out.... much more data... and longer "MOS"
Things happen for a reason.... maybe Peregrine knew this all along ... hmmmm
If Romney had thought of that he would be president! FTM for president indeed! NIH pays $50 Billion for Bavi. Develops it to treat all cancers and all viruses. Saves Medicare. Avoids Fiscal Cliff. America gives it at cost to rest of world. Everyone loves America. Dr. Thorpe invents new drug to cure selfishness. World Peace breaks out.
How about some prevailing "in-the-box" thinking: Obama has the PPHM pipeline seized via eminent domain powers, pays the current "fair" market value (as reflected by our current stock price) plus 20% (what more could the greedy capitalists want?) and touts how he has greatly reduced health care costs while at the same time greatly increasing the effectiveness of health care treatments.
Hope I didn't plant a thought in one of those thieves' brains.
