I think this statement makes more sense with more context.

Dr Jonathan Stoye, a retrovirologist and emeritus scientist at the Francis Crick Institute, who was not involved in the study, said the approach taken by the Melbourne team appeared be a major advance on existing strategies to force the virus out of hiding, but further studies would be needed to determine how best to kill it after that.

He added: “Ultimately, one big unknown remains. Do you need to eliminate the entire reservoir for success or just the major part? If just 10% of the latent reservoir survives will that be sufficient to seed new infection? Only time will tell.

“However, that does not detract from the significance of the current study, which represents a major potential advance in delivery of mRNA for therapeutic purposes to blood cells.”

Prof Tomáš Hanke of the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford, disputed the idea that getting RNA into white blood cells had been a significant challenge. He said the hope that all cells in the body where HIV was hiding could be reached in this way was “merely a dream”.

Essentially Hanke and the other scientist Stoye believe the issue is that it will be impossible to eliminate 100% of the infection.

The current research team believes the white blood cell delivery method they developed will allow a large enough portion of the virus to be reached enough so for a cure. Stoye believes it will eliminate a majority of viral reservoirs, but is unsure if that’s effective. Hanke staunchly believes viral elimination must be total for a cure.

I think the research is quite promising and as the other commentor said may eliminate other viral infections that hide as well.

Lots of unknowns and lots of potential. Who knows it may take some cocktail of 3 or 4 different methods to bring about a cure, but this MRNA research is a strong contender

I can critize and dislike the US involvement in Korea, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, AND the Tiananmen Square massacre.

I can rank which ones killed more people, but no one should be committing any crimes against humanity like these regardless of scale

You can download a copy of Wikipedia in full today before they turn it to shit.

Unlike the people in Alexandria, you can spend less that $20 and 20 minutes to download the whole thing and preserve it yourself

Maybe it would be wise for an instance to incorporate as a non-profit of some kind. I believe a designation exists for “social clubs”.

That way there’s less pressure on admins and less worry of facing personal consequences if someone posts something illegal on their instance since then the LLC or local equivalent would be liable.

I doubt an instance would ever have the funds but it could even theoretically allow for a paid admin.

I know it sounds like we’re reinventing the “big” internet again, but i don’t see it being an issue. I don’t see a world where lemmy could generate that level of profit. In this case an LLC would be about gaining legal protections only

I’ll eat entropy then

Yeah wow 2015 how impressive

The solution is to cut them into smaller pieces

It’s civilians on both sides. Let’s not ignore that.

If these were random people I’d feel bad, but they’ve made their stances clear. But continue with the anti-semetism claims. Favorite tactic of the far right these days.

They’re dedicating time to the other side of the conflict. This isn’t a protest about some unrelated topic. This is directly related.

So maybe save the bad faith arguments? Or at least make one that’s more convincing

Marching for 20 hostages to me implies they are completely okay with actions being taken against the Palestinian people. Why march for 20 when millions are facing starvation. Hell the total blockade means the hostages aren’t likely getting much food either.

So either they don’t care about the genocide or they value the lives of millions as lesser.

There was a time when I would have felt bad for these people, but I’m over it.

As to what the right has to do with this, they have been the most enthusiastic supporters of the genocide. So seems like a fair assumption to me.

I don’t have conflicted feelings. I’m sure the people engaged in this protest would be more than happy to strip me, my family, and my friends of my rights and finish the destruction of the US.

The right has lost my sympathy.

And yet the US Army has infinite money

Gru looking ass

True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.

So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It’s all about perspective.

Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape
