@IcnpcS @AnnMill28215764 @DrMakaryFDA You list side effects that are caused by the delivery mechanism not ANKTIVA. Catheter delivery cause the urinary tract infections. Your assessment is disingenuous at best

ImmunityBio's so-called "breakthrough" immunotherapy for bladder cancer. This drug is a masterclass in pharmaceutical failure dressed up as innovation. Approved by the FDA in 2024 for a narrow slice of BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS), it's been plagued by regulatory rejections, questionable efficacy claims, and a side-effect profile that makes you wonder if the cure is worse than the disease. Critics in the medical community have rightly slammed it for marketing that wildly outpaces the actual science—founder Patrick Soon-Shiong's bombastic promotions feel like snake oil salesmanship, promising the moon while delivering a pebble. newsnationnow.com +1 First off, the FDA has repeatedly slapped down attempts to expand its use, exposing the drug's weak foundations. In May 2025, the agency issued a flat-out Refusal to File (RTF) for a supplemental application to include papillary NMIBC without CIS, calling the data insufficient despite ImmunityBio's whiny protests that it contradicted earlier guidance. The company threw a public tantrum, demanding urgent meetings and accusing the FDA of "confounding inconsistency"—as if regulators are the problem, not the flimsy single-arm trial (QUILT-3.032) that's essentially the same dataset they used for the initial approval. Even former FDA officials like Rachel Sherman piled on in press releases, but it reeks of desperation: if your drug is so revolutionary, why can't it clear basic hurdles without begging and blaming? pharmexec.com +4 And the data? Laughable. In trials, it boasts about reversing lymphopenia or extending survival in tough cases like glioblastoma or NSCLC, but dig deeper: median overall survival "not yet reached" in small, cherry-picked groups sounds impressive until you realize it's often in patients who've already failed everything else, with no randomized controls to prove it's not just placebo or selection bias. The FDA called out these claims as potentially "false or misleading," especially when compared to giants like Keytruda, which got broader approvals on stronger evidence. Soon-Shiong's rants about double standards just highlight Anktiva's inferiority—it's not a chemo-free miracle; it's a niche player struggling to prove it's better than existing options. Side effects? Brutal for something that's supposed to be "manageable." Patients report urinary tract infections, skyrocketing potassium levels, musculoskeletal pain, chills, and fever—hardly the gentle immune boost hyped in press releases. Real-world use might amplify these, especially since trials overlook lymphopenia as a treatment side effect from standards like chemo or radiation. And with only 7% cystectomy rate in one follow-up? That's cherry-picking; broader adoption could reveal it's no bladder-sparer.

FDA is moving with unprecedented agility. Today we approved a multiple myeloma drug just 55 days after the application was filed. And last week’s approval (a major leap forward) was approved in 44 days. If a trial result shows immediate promise for many Americans, why wait?

@DrPatrick @PeterPitts It’s time to play the Trump card. Trump is not going to say “no” to a cancer cure moment for his administration.

Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong@DrPatrick·
How do you defend a "no" to access for patients desperately seeking treatment, when the package insert affirms the mechanism that Anktiva activates T cells and NK cells? @PeterPitts provides the amazing truthful response that there is no reason. He highlights the mechanism of action in the package insert already approved. Peter also provides insight into the inconsistencies at the FDA when dealing with large pharma regarding approval with single arm trials versus biotech companies with a mission to cure cancer.

Yeah, I bet you also have a black friend that you cite having for all your anecdotal opinions. Also, throw in a Ukrainian friend who says “Ukrainians all love Russia.” The lies you put out is a reflection of you, and you could have asked Grok, but you don’t go by facts. Reunification for most Taiwanese is in the minority, 10%.

NEWS: New York Governor Kathy Hochul has pulled a proposal that would have allowed for commercial robotaxi services outside New York City. The proposal, which Hochul had included in her budget proposal last month, would have allowed autonomous-vehicle companies such as Waymo to apply for permission to pilot their services without human operators in the vehicle. “Based on conversations with stakeholders, including in the legislature, it was clear that the support was not there to advance this proposal,” said Sean Butler, a Hochul spokesperson. Waymo said in a statement to Bloomberg that it was “disappointed” by the governor’s decision. “We’re committed to bringing our service to New York and will work with the state legislature to advance this issue.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The facts I learned that made me stop fearing climate change. 1. Deaths from natural disasters are down 95%. 2. 10x more people die from cold than from heat. 3. Global greening has increased. 4. Growers add up to 1,500 ppm of CO2 to their greenhouses. 5. Extreme weather has not gotten worse.

Despite the upcoming inauguration of the Eagle Line in February, the QuantumScape stock price keeps sliding. While there are concerns or doubts regarding their scalability in the market, I believe their underlying tech is still solid and compelling. Decided to add to my position today.

$QS After the recent AI software dump, it’s obvious the market will turn to physical manifestations of anything AI related. Investors will soon realize SSB is required for that evolution. The timing and position of QS is perfection. Keep until $500 to $1,000.
