Sunstar, Great post, I was trying to explain this to someone today, and was going to ask the board what they thought a brief explanation of how Bavi works in the immunotherapy arena would sound like. I like your summary.
Sunstar, one quibble - the flu shot isn't worth much
The flu shot does not confer "long-lasting" immunity; if it did, you wouldn't "need" a shot every year. The strains that circulate in the community are very often different than those in the vaccine.
Basically, the flu shot is over-hyped. Many unbiased studies don't show efficacy at all, and in fact, may predispose you to actually GETTING the flu. This led to the discontinuation of the H1N1 flu shot campaign in Canada during the so-called "pandemic" a few years ago (2009)
Vaccines very often need "boosters" which, by definition, rule out "long-lasting" immunity.
Even the chickenpox vaccine wanes over time. Interestingly, though, infection with "wild-type" chickenpox in childhood does confer life-long immunity.
So the immune system is as slippery as a greased pig. Bavi's safety really can't be underscored too strongly. It appears to reactivate the immune system against PS-bearing tumor cells, without inducing auto-immunity when addressing apoptotic cells.
