A new HIV vaccine with a 97% antibody response rate in phase I human trials. It is based on the Moderna's COVID vaccine.
One positive outcome of the COVID19 pandemic is that the medical science made a giant leap toward the vaccine for AIDS based on the similarities between the 2 viruses.
This is a wonderful news.

UK now has a new Flag law!
Heil the Fuhrer!
A successful distraction move by the British Trump to change the discussion subject and people's attention from his complete failure in handling the pandemic by ignoring it for months and putting business before safety and health of the nation, total and complete failure in Brexit negotiation and implementations, total and complete failure in handling the economy and an unbelievable criminal behavior in regards of refugees seeking asylum in the country.
