mixed sentiments..... ADVR has been a trader pump and dump tool since at least 1994. OTOH, the business plan has a large element of "a Hybridon" or "a Coley" in it...... super echinacea. IMO, much preferable to the old Alpha Beta Technology (Technologies?), which achieved an enormous market cap with a yeast extract that purportedly reacted with mannan receptors and stimulated macrophages.

There are many bioterror bucks going to this sort of work. One should remember that a little bit of a toxic molecule from Gram negative bacteria provides tolerance to subsequent exposures, that you can protect from bad stuff with a little bit of it. There's reason to be enthusiastic, to a limited degree, about the potential for a kick in the butt from innate immunity.
