I tried to figure out what Pfizer was working on with their Rinat division ala MD Anderson. I did not find the pipeline products.
Anyway, I think the take away here is that Big Pharma is following NWBO….not leading.
If you look at the benefits from the MD Anderson MOONSHOT Program, they are allowing some companies to inject into the tumor/body "before" removal.
DCVAX direct already takes that a great deal further, in that they inject into tumors that will not be surgically removed.
One of the things that I thought would happen, when NWBO started getting close to big announcements, is that other pharmaceutical companies would start to attempt course correcting their big ships, even going to the extent of simply appearing to already be on the same track as NWBO.
It started about a year ago with big pharma announcing Chemo is not the future in cancer research and development -- immunotherapy is.
Now, with NWBO moving quickly toward their big announcements, the "me too" sounds from much larger companies is almost deafening.
I hope they all succeed of course, but I think we know what/who motivated them to turn their big ships in the right direction:) By now, they know what is going on.
(I have a problem with big pharma using patent protection as a way to extend high costs in one product whilst they slow introduction of a better product for the same illness so as not to cannabilize their products still on patent. I hope NWBO will make the drug industry rue the day they started thinking like that, but I also hope we get a cure very soon, no matter who finds it. Personally, I think it will be DCVAX-Direct.)
