Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud
Jean-Michel Connard on X: "In my lifetime HIV will have gone from a death sentence, to a chronic condition, to a vaccine-preventable illness. We do incredible things when we apply ourselves."
"99.9% effective in preventing" I wonder what procedures they used to arrive at that
Isn't this just a "pre-exposure prophylaxis" drug that requires twice-a-year injections, rather than a vaccine per-se?
That does seem like a better description. "Vaccine" seems a bit of an overstatement or informal description.
Meanwhile the virus is mutating.... as did streptococci and other bacteria.New strains of syphilis have come roaring back.Sexual promiscuity is microbiologically contraindicated.
That is worth remembering...
