Notes by Gsgs:
TWIV 219 with Fauci
(45MB, 1hour, .mp3)
education, how he turned to AIDS-research
9:30 , 1981 paper, why AIDS would be growing
11:00 , 1984 -->NIAD $4.6B budget now
~15:00 HIV-vaccine
21:00 treatment reduces transmission chance by 96%
24:30 sees an end of AIDS, optimistic
28:00 thinks polio will be eradicated
28:30 biggest infectious problems in this order:
HIV,Malaria,Tuberculosis ... neglected tropical diseases
(no mention of flu,H5N1)
29:44 NIAD as a global institute
30:30 Malaria .7M deaths per year ;TB 1.4M deaths per year
budget flat since 2003
31:10 flu (unclear... doesn't think the universal flu vaccine will work (?))
not a killer
31:15 scientific endpoint
32:40 antivirals,vaccine bad
33:50 seems to mention universal flu vaccine positively now
(stem of HA)
34:30 not much earning with flu-vaccine
36:00 Hepatitis C, cured within our lifetimes
37:40 drug resistance
pharma
44:00 budget, what he usually tells his fellows etc -
serious budget crunch ,2014 not better, ideological differences on how
to handle budget problems, that will be fixed, scientific enterprise
should not be a discretionary part, but mandatory
scientific opportunities more exciting than ever
{IMO he doesn't make sense here. He says just what he thinks is best
for his institute --> biased. He completely ignores the general economical,
political development which determines the budget. He thinks the $15T
can be solved ("fixed") just ideolically. And I got the impression that he described
the past scientific opportunities and achievements more enthusiatically than the
possible future ones. I'm not saying that I'm against more money for NIAH, just that
his arguments don't convince me}
48:00 they don't really understand what we do
AO1 pool ?
54:00 his philosophy: (?)
55:15 science needs reforming ? Fauci:fundamentally it's healthy
58:00 his usual day
1:00:54 pandemic flu mentioned !
(what keeps him awake at night, 2nd)
1:01:30 coronavirus - boom it's gone
1:03:00 end
