Pharma manufacturer Gilead making available at cost (2 million doses in most needed countries) while generics are developed and can later be distributed. Decent play from a Pharma company.

It’s so nice to have these vaccines to protect us and allow us to live a fuller life…. I wonder what republicans are gonna do about it?… or is Kennedy gonna stop it from hitting shelves?

Just want to be clear to anyone reading that this is not an HIV vaccine, it’s a long-lasting antiviral medication. Similar therapies have been approved since 2012, and an injection that lasts for two months was approved in 2021.

The main benefit of a once-every-six-month injection is for people at high risk with very limited access to healthcare. PrEP is great but this is a fairly minor improvement to existing therapies.

I've seen the word vaccine appear at least 5 times in this thread. It's weird that people are going there.
