HIV Vaccine: HVTN 321 - Healthy Volunteers Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Enrolling: Male and Female Patients Study Length: 16 Months Clinic Visits: 12 IRB Number: AAAV7818 U.S. Govt. ID: NCT06919016 Contact: Brittany Rose: 347-770-2201 / br2731@cumc.columbia.edu Additional Study Information: This trial is testing two experimental vaccines for HIV called DV700P-RNA and DV701B1.1-RNA. This trial is a Phase 1 study testing whether these vaccines are safe to use in people and can be taken comfortably, as well as how the immune system responds to the vaccines. Both vaccines are made using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology. mRNA is a piece of genetic code carried into your body by the vaccine as a message with instructions. It works in the same way that the mRNA vaccines against COVID instruct the body's cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Instead of showing your immune system actual pieces of HIV, the vaccine carries instructions that show some cells how to make small pieces that look like parts of HIV. You may be eligible for this study if are between the ages of 18 and 55, do not have HIV, and are healthy. You may not be eligible for this study if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have previously received an HIV vaccine, or have certain medical conditions. If you participate in this study, you will attend clinic visits to have your blood drawn, receive injections of the experimental HIV vaccines, have white blood cells collected through a process called leukapheresis, and have cells from your lymph nodes collected using a thin needle guided by ultrasound. Your participation in the study will last approximately 16 months. You will be compensated for participating in this study.

Reminder that there are many promising mRNA vaccines in development for a wide range of diseases, and you can participate in clinical trials. Here's a clinical trial for HIV mRNA vaccines that is being run by a colleague at Columbia: recruit.cumc.columbia.edu/studyinfopag...

Larry Summers Says Trump Policies Are ‘Scarily’ Like Argentina’s Peron Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers warned that President Donald Trump’s policies risk putting the US on a similar path to that of postwar Argentina, which descended from being a relatively advanced developed nation into an economic laggard.

Usually to be clear tho

/6 Institutions like the Federalist Society and Heritage Institute set anti-Constitutional goals and agendas. It matters not that they are based on nonsense: ambitious but amoral legal scholars and professors design rhetorical edifices of gossamer bullshit to support them.

maybe the west coast bougie millennials aren’t always wrong

OMG actually insanely good

I like insanely 💪 ☕️ btw.
Need to use a paper filter method which I 😩

Got a Chemex pint set up. (despite it giving v Millennial bougie vibes)

On ☕️ soooo for annoying health reasons (related lol to still being alive after all these years despite my 70s teenage era so 🎉) I changed the way that I am making ☕️

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

RFK JR Announces He Will Just Go Door-To-Door Killing People To Save Time

Let’s review how the rich get and stay rich:

Just fyi that the latest theories include that cancer can be triggered by viral infections of any kind so

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Yeah I think bringing mgmt w him is actually ng — feels to me like he’s been catered to a lot & has little mental resilience — but we shall see

Belief that his issues are bc of outside factors; bc RBBH has more $ & who knows what promises were made… when I thought that he might transfer to a stable mgmt structure that wld give him guidance & when I didn’t know abt FL, GP, it made some sense. Now all is chaos & seems like pieces won’t fit

Yes — esp & mostly bc US renter protections so v poor

And increasingly powerless & poorly treated by corporations…

But everyone sees & feels the precarity in housing, healthcare & employment & equal rights — the underlying anxieties that inform their answers to questions…

💯💯💯💯

At this point, I am ready to apply for a job in RBBH mgmt. Feel like I’d be an improvement sad lol

If you were tasked by an enemy, foreign or domestic, with destroying the United States of America from within, would you do anything different than the actions of this administration over the past few months? You wouldn't. This would be the script.

If they seek clicks, sure, but as I posted, the way this is all transpiring leaves me w little faith in it being good for RE (bringing of the entourage) or the many other talented RBBH riders
— Lipo, Pellizari, Van Gils, Roglic, etc — so much chaos in the team rn & only this year really got $

To fail if he’s surrounded by his usual crew & isn’t better guided to become a physically & mentally stronger rider — would be nice to see him stop focusing on GC for now… classics & 1 day & TT for now w/be better

That’s the part that is insane to me — but if RB & Spec want to pay for the clicks, well w/e. Just hope that others careers are not ruined/stalled. Bc he isn’t a a stable GC rider to me — physically or mentally.

RB & Spec is the reason — they are probs doing the paying

And Pellizari etc

My guess is poorly

With a RE faction… also imho were there a strong mgmt team to guide RE in, at least for NOW, until older, to focus on Classics & 1 day races & get him off socials & into sports mental coaching aka therapy that c be helpful imho. Maybe he’ll build both mental & physical endurance in a few years. TBD.
