Nick zito, the bill and melanie gates foundation, and all the other investments, important, in european funding declined over the past several years. It made little difference in the overall, and when those big numbers stayed big, stay significant, do we have a robust pipeline the fourth blood gets funded. You heard it from the lead scientists in policy perspective, and the p 5 strategy. And high vaccine resulting in Southern Africa and thailand, up and 31 , we cant not explore that. And on the slide previously, and other ideas will they work . We dont know. That is why we do the Clinical Trial. Clinical Research Needs investment. All of the work around that structure based design, all of these exciting neutralizing antibodies that have their clever code names for what they are, each of those needs to be pursued and they need to be pursued in a different way than we worked before. How do you translate that novel idea into a Clinical Trial . When you walk the halls of a science meeting

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
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
