NIH and foreign research - great news on movement @drklausner. Not all the way (South Africa new research still blocked) but improving- great for Americans. Research which benefits U.S. can be done more quickly in international settings @NIHDirector_Jay eg infectious diseases.
Three NIH Notice of Awards for international work in preterm birth prevention, syphilis vaccine development and antibiotic resistance received this week. @NIH is back. at some level (some awards were languishing since November 2024). There is hope! @MonicaGandhi9 @apoorva_nyc.

NIH: Opinion article by @NIHDirector_Jay on the mRNA vaccine- agree that it likely saved 2.5 million lives as modeled by Dr. John Ioannidis recently, glad it will be still used for cancer, would try to fund different vaccine platforms at NIH for pathogens.
washingtonpost.com
As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

ACADEMIA: Hope the administration restores funding to all Universities- those grants were earned, but free money by a rigorous peer-reviewed process judging meritorious research. Shouldn't have to pay fee to the government though.
NEW and BREAKING: Harvard and White House are nearing a landmark legal agreement. It still needs sign off from Trump and senior Harvard officials. But we have the details on the emerging deal, including how it will cost Harvard $500 million.

COVAXIN: Whole virus vaccines thread from >3 years ago @NIHDirector_Jay - agree good platform but would want multiple vaccine platforms in US. @elonmusk please remove shadow ban from this account.
COVAXIN vaccine: Would like to do a thread on the Covaxin vaccine in preparation for a longer thread on the tools to combat COVID-19. There are 6 spike protein vaccines (we covered Novavax last week) & 3 whole inactivated virion vaccines including Covaxin (others too)

VACCINES: I talked a lot on X about vaccines- this from @NIH. @NIHDirector_Jay Agree need variety of platforms including whole virus vaccines (less susceptible to mutations in one area), protein-adjuvant, DNA, mRNA. Giving population choice important- India did that, high uptake.
Advancing beyond the one-strain-at-a-time approach. Generation Gold Standard: universal, non-mRNA whole-virus technology for broad and durable protection. 💉🌬️ Intranasal formulations designed to protect against multiple influenza strains and future viral threats. 🔗 For more.
