Kettle's getting our money back and, when it happens, I'm going to buy him some rosbif for Xmas.

Onwards to 1600.

I know - same as Tesla....

It's B-cells (and, long-term, the Memory B-Cells) that are activated by a reinfection to produce more antibody of the type (more or less - that's complicated...) that wiped out the first similar infection. The T-cells (and, long-term, the Memory T-cells) that are also activated by reinfection but T-cells cannot secrete antibody molecules and are, rather, adapted to attack foreign cells and infected 'self' cells. They will attack 'self' cells infected by virus, thus helping to quell the infection but the more important mechanism of dealing with tiny viruses is to employ the 'infantry' (antibody) rather than the B52s (the T-cells). Of course, it's a bit (well, actually a lot) more complicated and B-cells and T-cells (and others...!) interact.... but that's the basics.

Kettle, can you give us a subtle hint as to how it is going? For example, should I be ordering a turkey or a sausage for Xmas?

Anyhoooo .... I'm sure the Members-Only Group will have some good news for us soon.

Yes, if only we could all cash in on a post-hoc prediction.

The genuine Mystic Meg would have given us that advice yesterday ... ;-)

"What I still can't understand, is why hasn't the Astra Zeneca Jab been given FDA approval yet" What's the point - they have plenty of vaccines and not enough takers. Republicans encouraging other Republicans to be a dying breed! In better news I see Chile, and no doubt others soon, are giving AZ are a booster (third) shot after giving most of their population the (not so-effective) Sinovac version (around 60% effective depending on who you believe) - very little Delta in Chile thus far, so high population vaccination % plus boosters for >60's, then others, might finally be able to control this thing at some sort of low level. If Chile "experiment" is successful you can be sure others will follow... higher revenue for OXB. If one or two of their more adventurous therapies get close to market I see this going much higher and am holding some some time yet even though I am at a very tidy profit (around 4x) already.

Can you do the secret handshake?

I'm not a lawyer but, surely, if there are any votes that affect the future of any incipient company, wouldn't the Actual Shareholders Group be entitled and required to vote??

Is there any point to being that secretive??

And ... on the downside ... how does anyone know the SH Group is not being steered by bad actors - I know, I doubt it too but you just have to look at the sophistication of some of the financial scams out there and wonder.

I suspect what HSD is thinking is that how does a larger Shareholders Group affect any likely outcomes? If there is an outcome beneficial to both BoD and shareholders it is likely to happen however many people are in the SH Group - or am I being too simple?

"Watch out for the directors if they get positioned in any other companies and avoid those companies like the plague....................otherwise you know whats coming." Might be something this BB could do to stay useful?

Must admit I had not considered the possibility of re-listing until I received this email from my broker:

"Following a vote by Shareholders at the general meeting held on 14th June 2021, the proposals were not passed and will no longer proceed. Pursuant to Rule 15 of the AIM Rules, the Company’s shares have been cancelled from trading on the Alternative Investment Market with effect from 15th June 2021. Please note that the shares will remain in your portfolio until further notice as the shares may have some value in the future. The Company may relist on another stock exchange therefore you should continue to monitor this holding for updates. Should the shares be declared worthless, we will write to you to inform you of this."

950,000 to add here.

"FakeNews is terrible". True. It was better when we called it "lying".

Yes, it was all a bit childish. It may feel good to spite the directors but MTFB going to zero has now definitely cost me £35,000 and delayed the potential of a young British biotech. I'm not blaming anyone else on here for my losses .... well except perhaps that twat who assured us all that he knew the boss, that he was a good egg, and that we were 99% certain to get approval. DYO research etc and lesson learned but one of the big ones for me is NEVER listen to anyone who (claims to?) knows the directors - either they ARE a director or they are being manipulated as useful idiots. Oh well, on to something better.
