No, my sense is they know HerpeCide would no longer play well in the market with all the vaccines on the horizon. They can't compete with this. They know it. So they need another winner out of the gate. Especially now that they need money. So in order to impress their PIPE financiers, they may be going back to FluCide (maybe). But I think they believe they have no choice now and have to put all in their eggs in a basket once again.
While I agree that the delays have been frustrating, I think they're going to be able to use the same drug formulation for shingles, cold sores and genital herpes. This is the one.

FluCide is not the horse to ride for their first shot a drug approval for multiple reasons:
  1. The IV formulation requires a 20-50x more nano-material than herpes will for each treatment, and the oral FluCide formulation will require three times more nano-material than the IV formulation.
  2. The IV can only be given out in a hospital setting.
  3. Old people are most at risk of death, so during the trials you run the risk of people dying for unrelated issues.
  4. Tox testing requirements for a systemic drug would create a long delay.
