I think this statement makes more sense with more context.

Dr Jonathan Stoye, a retrovirologist and emeritus scientist at the Francis Crick Institute, who was not involved in the study, said the approach taken by the Melbourne team appeared be a major advance on existing strategies to force the virus out of hiding, but further studies would be needed to determine how best to kill it after that.

He added: “Ultimately, one big unknown remains. Do you need to eliminate the entire reservoir for success or just the major part? If just 10% of the latent reservoir survives will that be sufficient to seed new infection? Only time will tell.

“However, that does not detract from the significance of the current study, which represents a major potential advance in delivery of mRNA for therapeutic purposes to blood cells.”

Prof Tomáš Hanke of the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford, disputed the idea that getting RNA into white blood cells had been a significant challenge. He said the hope that all cells in the body where HIV was hiding could be reached in this way was “merely a dream”.

Essentially Hanke and the other scientist Stoye believe the issue is that it will be impossible to eliminate 100% of the infection.

The current research team believes the white blood cell delivery method they developed will allow a large enough portion of the virus to be reached enough so for a cure. Stoye believes it will eliminate a majority of viral reservoirs, but is unsure if that’s effective. Hanke staunchly believes viral elimination must be total for a cure.

I think the research is quite promising and as the other commentor said may eliminate other viral infections that hide as well.

Lots of unknowns and lots of potential. Who knows it may take some cocktail of 3 or 4 different methods to bring about a cure, but this MRNA research is a strong contender

I can critize and dislike the US involvement in Korea, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, AND the Tiananmen Square massacre.

I can rank which ones killed more people, but no one should be committing any crimes against humanity like these regardless of scale

You can download a copy of Wikipedia in full today before they turn it to shit.

Unlike the people in Alexandria, you can spend less that $20 and 20 minutes to download the whole thing and preserve it yourself

Yeah wow 2015 how impressive

It’s civilians on both sides. Let’s not ignore that.

If these were random people I’d feel bad, but they’ve made their stances clear. But continue with the anti-semetism claims. Favorite tactic of the far right these days.

They’re dedicating time to the other side of the conflict. This isn’t a protest about some unrelated topic. This is directly related.

So maybe save the bad faith arguments? Or at least make one that’s more convincing

Marching for 20 hostages to me implies they are completely okay with actions being taken against the Palestinian people. Why march for 20 when millions are facing starvation. Hell the total blockade means the hostages aren’t likely getting much food either.

So either they don’t care about the genocide or they value the lives of millions as lesser.

There was a time when I would have felt bad for these people, but I’m over it.

As to what the right has to do with this, they have been the most enthusiastic supporters of the genocide. So seems like a fair assumption to me.

I don’t have conflicted feelings. I’m sure the people engaged in this protest would be more than happy to strip me, my family, and my friends of my rights and finish the destruction of the US.

The right has lost my sympathy.

And yet the US Army has infinite money

That’s honestly a hilarious response. Backed into a corner much?

Enjoy the child suffering you’re so fond of, and keep denying the science. ✌️

I will notice that you have you to make any public statement toward any of the superior options presented to you

Well so you’re wrong there. I’ve agreed with you quite a few times. I’ve even stated that we need to expand Healthcare access to everyone.

Also don’t bother bringing up the election, that’s over and we have a new reality that we need to survive.

So let’s actually go through your ideas.

Fluorinated salt great idea, but unfortunately due to interstate commerce laws is unlikely one state could require it. The federal government will not be doing that.

Ending poverty and child neglect. I mean obviously yes, but that’s something we’ve been working on for a while. States actually do tend to try that. Unfortunately due to cuts to federal grants and programs many state services are struggling to help. States alone don’t have the budget to make up the deficit. They could raise taxes but Americans are dumb.

Expanding access to dental and medical care. Absolutely, we needed universal Healthcare 30 years ago. However this regime will not be voting for that, and unfortunately many states could now see their Medicaid benefits cut. Meaning less people get benefits. Notably that is the only way I myself was able to have access to dental care.

I agree all of these things would be good, but they are being obstructed at every level. I vote, I protest, but that’s not been effective yet. Like I said neither of us are starting the revolution, but feel free to prove me wrong.

The only pragmatic approach left is to fight for what we have and try to force this regime to a standstill (doubt the Senate will do this). My goal is to survive and reduce harm. With any luck we see a reversal during mid-terms but I doubt it.

We’re kinda fucked, but by allowing them to remove what safety nets we have will only cause suffering. They will not put better alternatives in their place.

All you have done is offer solutions that are fantasy. This regime will not implement them, and with the cuts many states are facing they can’t afford to. Instead of only supporting your idea of a perfect solution, fight to keep our current safety nets in place. Fight to reduce suffering, and then fight for something better.

I want a better world, but in the short term I want to reduce suffering. Thankfully I won’t fall for your fallacies, you can have both. And I will do both

I mean you wouldn’t have to hold it long, so go ahead if you’d like. You seem to think I’m anti-progress just because unlike you I don’t want children to suffer.

Be glad you live a privileged life and don’t have to live with the suffering and harm of your rhetoric.

I will advocate for the better and protect what we have now too because I actually care about people.

I don’t know what fantasy land you live in, but there is no way this government will be implementing any progressive reform. Cool dream, but it’s not happening. And they certainly won’t be preemptively enacting it.

Once again I’m all for your progressive solutions. They sound great, but this government will not enact them. Even if they would they will remove the existing system before hand causing harm and suffering.

Harm and suffering you keep supporting for some reason.

You are still missing the point.

One the government will not be bringing those things into effect now. And before you say it neither of us will be starting an armed revolution so save that rhetoric, but you are welcome to prove me wrong.

Two, you do not end the safety net before you implement the solution. That will only cause harm.

Three, I can fight to maintain access to something that helps poor children today AND pursue a better solution.

All you’re doing is supporting the rhetoric of the Republicans and advocating to harm children.

We should strive to be better, but we shouldn’t pull away access to our basic social safety nets before we replace them. We should do that only after the better system is in place

You’re dying on the “poor kids should have cavities hill” whether or not you realize it. It is shown to work and provide better dental health to the most vulnerable populations. I’m sorry you don’t like the facts or the science behind it.

I’m sorry it’s not a perfect system, but removing it does nothing but harm. Of course we should be providing everyone access to dental and Healthcare. We can have that conversation AND prevent what we have now that’s helping kids from being taken away. You don’t take away what you have before providing the improvement.

Now quit advocating/defending the stances of Trump/Republicans and advocate instead for those that will be suffering.

You’re saying lies. Modern studies have shown fluoride in water benefits the poorest children. These are the most vulnerable populations with limited access to dental care (at home and professional).

Stop spreading lies. No it doesn’t fully replace toothpaste, but there is a demonstrable benefit

Demonstrably false

Obviously floride in water is not a substitute for toothpaste, but it has been shown to have the greatest effects amongst the poorest children. Spreading lies just leads to poor kids with cavities

You underestimate poverty and child neglect a lot

We need a corporate death penalty. If your company murders people it should be dismantled and sold off.

I’d love it if the senior executives also faced charges, but I’d compromise
