Evolving Strategies for an HIV Vaccine: One researcher explains where the field is going and why?

May 17, 2023 With several large HIV vaccine trials in the last few years finding no efficacy, the field is in transition. There are diverse ideas in vaccine research, but there's no clear concept that's ready to test in a late-phase trial or move towards product development currently. Researchers are back to testing new ideas in early phase research.

Love that they spelled Medford phonetically (when said with a North Shore accent).

The first XBB was a recombinant between two BA.2 lineages (BJ.1 x BM.1.1.1).

Here's an excellent thread by @firefoxx66 explaining recombination.

“You might be seeing a lot about XBB these days, & we're in the process of adding it to @nextstrain, Nextclade, & https://t.co/wVE7ubYBoy (as 22F). You might also be hearing it's a 'recombinant' - but what does that mean? Let's take a look. 1/9”

Great article on the various ways the #COVID19 pandemic surprised even experts on pandemics.

For me the biggest surprise was that the first vaccines out of the gate worked with almost perfect efficacy. Science just doesn’t work that way - it felt like a miracle.

My second surprise was that the virus could evolve so much.

The third surprise was the catastrophic failure of federal leadership in the US.

Three years on, the pandemic — and our response — have been jolting. Here's what even the experts didn't see coming

In the hope that lessons for the next pandemic can be found in the things we didn’t anticipate this time, STAT asked 23 experts what had surprised them the most.

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.
