Uhm the HSV vaccine pipeline seems to have changed. Excision had clinical trials scheduled for 2021 a few years back, if I'm not mistaken. There are about 4 billion people infected with HSV worldwide*. Excision could prioritize and deliver the HSV vaccine and have the company well-funded for other causes.

Why can't Hong Kong vote for independence?
I read from the article UN is still seeking access to China. That sounds dumb. I mean we're talking about concentration camps here. Didn't Nazis teach us any lesson
How can China get away with this? Why can't United Nations do anything about Uyghur concentration camps?
Why are there family run countries still in 2019?
As a user of pika it confused me. I wish the author had named it something other than "pika".
Is it their fault that they are born?
It bugs me a lot that humanity cannot make shelter a basic human right, rather it's something you have to work for and most likely work for a lender to pay of your debt while juice running with excessive rates.

Interesting. I suppose reform worked for Turkish. I'm fascinated by the simplicity and the straightforwardness of Turkish.
