  • COVID Update May 21, 2021
    COVID Update May 21, 2021 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Thursday May 13 that fully vaccinated people can go without masks in most circumstances. The new guidance was based on analysis of a new study that found that real-life use of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines provided 94% protection for over 4,000 front-line health care workers immunized at the beginning of the vaccine rollout who had weekly COVID testing following vaccination. A single dose provided 82% protection, the CDC-led team reported in the agency's weekly report, the MMWR. The new study also showed that fully vaccinated people are unlikely to develop asymptomatic infection and unknowingly shed virus, because even if infected, they have a very low viral load. This corroborates the findings of three major studies that have shown that fully vaccinated people are not likely to test positive for coronavirus, which indicates they are not carrying it in their bodies, whether they have symptoms or not. A similar study from Israel also found vaccinated people who got infected had a lower viral load -- fourfold lower than unvaccinated people. The new CDC guidance states that vaccinated individuals can in general safely remove their masks in large and small groups, indoors and out. However, it was recommended that masks continue to be worn on public transportation (including trains, buses, airplanes), and in homeless shelters and correctional facilities. The new guidance does not apply to health care settings. Concern was immediately raised regarding increased risk to the unvaccinated, including children under 12 and individuals who are immunocompromised in whom the vaccine may not be effective; the fact that the new guidance relies on unvaccinated individuals continuing to mask and distance, which may not occur; and the known presence in the U.S.

  • IAS 2009: Conference Report
    July-August 2009 WWW.IAVIREPORT.ORG | VOLUME 13, NUMBER 4 IAS 2009: Conference Report Challenge Models Characterizing and optimizing viral challenge models for vaccine research EDITOR’S LETTER What if there were magic pills that could effectively treat HIV infection, prevent HIV-infected indi- viduals from transmitting the virus to others, reduce prevalence of tuberculosis, and perhaps even protect uninfected individuals from acquiring HIV? Oh wait, maybe there are. They’re called antiretrovirals (ARVs), and they have revolutionized the treatment of HIV infection. So far, the road to developing biomedical interventions to prevent HIV infection has been a bit rockier. In his talk at the 5th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Pre- vention, held recently in Cape Town, South Africa (see Everything from Cause to Cure for our report on the conference), Ronald Gray of Johns Hopkins University noted that of 29 trials evaluating the efficacy of different biomedical HIV prevention strategies, only four have shown significant success, and five have wshown possible harm. Until an effective vaccine or other HIV prevention strategy is developed, ARVs are being billed as one of the greatest hopes for controlling the global spread of HIV. One ARV-based approach to prevention is getting more HIV infected individuals on therapy. Evidence is accumulating that starting ARV treatment earlier in the course of HIV infection is beneficial. For prevention, the idea is that therapy, which efficiently and rapidly reduces viral load, could prevent those people already infected from transmitting HIV to others. This serves as the basis for the so-called test and treat strategy, which is explored in this issue (see Test and Treat on Trial) .

  • Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists to Bolster the Long-Term Careers of Young Physician Scientists
    Kristin Roth-Schrefer, Communications Director [email protected] / 212.974.7003 Nina Chung, Communications Assistant [email protected] / 212.974.7006 Leslie Engel, Program Associate for Medical Research [email protected] / 212.974.7106 Ten Institutions Receive Grants Totaling $5.4 Million Through Inaugural Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists To Bolster the Long-term Careers of Young Physician Scientists NEW YORK, NY, December 3, 2015 – The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation today announced grants totaling $5.4 million to 10 medical schools to establish a Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists within each of their institutions. Each school will receive $540,000 over five years to provide stronger institutional support and supplemental funds for early-career physician scientists to maintain productivity during periods of excessive extraprofessional demands. DDCF launched the Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists (the Fund) to build upon a growing momentum in the medical research field toward supporting young physician scientists through phases of intense, extraprofessional career obstacles. Studies have revealed that up to 44 percent of young physicians with full-time faculty appointments at academic medical schools leave their posts within 10 years.1 Furthermore, while women enter academic medical centers at about the same rate as men, they make up only 19 percent of faculty at the full professor level.2 The causes of this disparity are varied and complex, but one contributing factor is the load of transitory but significant outside responsibilities such as childcare, elder care or family illness that may arise and preclude the career growth of many young faculty members, particularly women. “As a foundation committed to fostering the careers of physician scientists in academic medicine, we sought a way to retain promising early-career faculty during times they are most challenged by caregiving demands,” said Betsy Myers, program director for Medical Research.

  • As Physicians and Scientists Who Have Seen Firsthand the Value of U.S
    January 31, 2017 The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC, 20500 Dear Mr. President: As physicians and scientists who have seen firsthand the value of U.S. leadership in global health, we are writing to share our insights on the impacts of the investments this country has made and the vital importance of continuing them. The global health threats recently posed by influenza, Ebola and Zika make the increasing frequency and severity of transnational infectious disease outbreaks impossible to ignore. This pattern will continue. Addressing infectious diseases abroad is essential to protecting the American people at home and our economic interests abroad. The United States has been a longstanding leader in global health. Our country has been extraordinarily effective in improving the health of millions while advancing our global health security and strengthening our standing with international leaders and trade partners. We urge you to build on that leadership. The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the most important and ambitious global health program ever implemented by any nation to address a single disease has had measurable impact on the lives of millions. PEPFAR supports lifesaving antiretroviral treatment for nearly 11.5 million people, has prevented two million babies from being born with HIV, and trained hundreds of thousands of health care workers in low-income countries. These remarkable achievements were made possible by the leadership and support of Administrations from both parties, by strong bipartisan Congressional support, and by scientific advances in HIV prevention and treatment developed through research supported by the National Institutes of Health.

    June 10, 2021 Delivered via E-Mail Dr. Rochelle Walensky Director Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1600 Clifton Road Atlanta, GA 30329 Dear Dr. Walensky: We write today out of concern that you may have given incomplete or inaccurate testimony during the May 11, 2021, U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (Committee) hearing regarding the clearance process for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Operational Strategy for K-12 Schools (“School Re-Opening Guidance” or “Guidance”).1 Specifically, your testimony appears to be inconsistent with representations in your April 22, 2021, letter to Ranking Member Burr and with email correspondence between the CDC, Biden Administration political appointees, and teachers’ unions that was recently made public. The Committee’s May 11th hearing was the first opportunity for Senators to question you about the school re-opening guidance since the extent of the CDC’s cooperation with the teachers’ unions was made public. You testified that edits from the teachers’ unions were limited to addressing “what happens if you have immunocompromised teachers.” You further testified that the level of collaboration between the teachers’ unions and the CDC was routine, “[a]s a matter of practice, the CDC engages with stakeholders, with consumers who take our guidance, who use our guidance before it is finalized so we can understand whether it addresses their needs. For our school guidance, we did that with 50 different stakeholders, over 50, actually.” Compared to the emails between the CDC and the teachers’ unions, your testimony seems – at a minimum incomplete – if not inaccurate.

    January 20, 2016 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Obama: As your Administration completes work on finalizing the FY2016 operating budget for the National Institutes of Health, we write to ask that the final FY2016 NIH budget include the $100 million increase for HIV/AIDS research for FY2016 above the FY2015 level that your Administration publically committed to in your FY2016 budget proposal released in February, 2015. This is a time to prioritize, not cut or flat fund HIV/AIDS research. NIH-funded HIV/AIDS research has supported innovative basic science for better drug therapies, behavioral and biomedical prevention interventions that have saved and improved the lives of millions. These advances hold great promise for significantly reducing HIV infection rates and providing more effective treatments for those living with HIV/AIDS in the coming decade. Research advances to develop a preventive vaccine and a cure for HIV infection hold the potential to “end the scourge of HIV/AIDS” as you so eloquently stated in your State of the Union address. Thank you for considering these views.* Respectfully Yours, Alabma Amanda Wlig, PhD, RD, University of Alabama at Birmingham James Raper, PhD, JD, University of Alabama at Birmingham Michael Saag, MD, University of Alabama at Birmingham Olaf Kutsch, Professor, University of Alabama at Birmingham Safiya George, PhD Suzanne Prevost, RN, PhD, University of Alabama California Andrew Henkin, BSW, Harm Reduction Services Andrew Scheer, BS, MSW; LCSW Argentina Servin, MD,MPH, University of California, San Diego Brooke West, PhD Celsa Spina, PhD., University of California, San Diego Christopher Mathews, M.D., University of California, San Diego 2 Colleen Hoff, PhD, San Francisco Cory White, B.S.
