Two different things. When you are looking at hearings, you will see more hearings in the senate that look like what you have been seeing in the house over the last several years. Administration officials being called from various departments and agencies to essentially get byed over the coals republican senators who are going to be chairman of these committees for the first time. You are going to see more critical hearings and hearings that are built around topics that are critical of the administration. In terms of legislation, you are probably going to see more markups and more consideration of bills at the Committee Level and when they come out of the last couple in the of years, bills of come out of committee and then sort of disappeared in a number of cases. What mcconnell is at least saying and what he said last coat newsnew conference that if a bill comes out on a bipartisan basis, somebody might actually see it on the floor. You also mentioned an open amendment process. How li
Hear from here where iavi is and where her partners and prospective from leading pdp in this area. Format well have 30 minutes for dr. Fauci to give us sort after presentation, plenary talk and well move to Mitchell Warren of avac of eight other ten minutes of comments. Margie mcglynn as well eight or ten minutes of comments. Then well open up the pan fell for you to give questions and i will moderate that. A good chance for to you engage with them on discussions where we are with hiv Vaccine Research and where it is coming. So, dr. Faw economy, over fauci, over to you, and thank you for coming. [applause] so i can advance my own slides . There you go. Thank you very much, todd, a real pleasure to be with you here today. Im going to talk a bit about the issue of the role of an hiv vaccine. I want to start off by putting into perspective the concept why we really do need an hiv vaccine despite the spectacular successes and really historic successes well had over the last several years i
Pandemic. I wrote an article about this, and i will talk about some of the things i mentioned in that new england journal of medicine article. The reason i believe it is necessary, if you look at some sufficient the challenge that is we face, about ending the hiv despite all of the great results, there is a thing called a care continuum. I dont want to spend time, i spoke to similar audiences about that it we dont do well, access into the system, retention in the system, and adherrence to therapy, and look at as a country, we are doing really, really badly about the number of people infected, and the percent of those who are in a health care system, stay in a system, get on therapy, stay on therapy, and drop their viral load to the point where they dont infect anybody else. We have a long way to go, even though we are doing well. One example is, circ cision, circ cision now, if you look at the numbers, started off 55 to 60 effective. In long term follow up. 73 effective. I cant imagine
Changes. Interestingly enough, the present drop in the price of oil has an impact on russia, they have balanced the budget at 100, and it is now down an 80. Russias political fast and hoos activities have had a serious effect on the russian economy, more than anybody expected to see at this stage. A serious infleet in flight. Many billions of dollars have left. Almost no foreign investment. A rubble Exchange Rate that is going 10 against the ruble. No growth in the russian economy. Oil prices down, income is down. They may account for at least mr. Putins temporary paying attention to the minsk agreement, over how to deal with the problem in ukraine. Not beautifully, not perfectly, not without exception, some of that is happening. If we could get the europeans, four 40 and 50 on russias hydrocarbons, get off that, giving them the opportunity to say to the russians, our off take is so low, we request suspend it, find other sources to. Do that, we have to find other sources for the europe
