20250414 Gay art. HIV vaccine petition. Mpox was(is?) on the loose in Britain. mRNA vaccine policy of Trump admin.
I am trying to find out what the Trump administration position on vaccines. I find contradictory information and politicized reporting.
Subscriptions are free.
HIV vaccine petition.
HIV vaccines are now very possible. We just need to push.
At this point with the development of molecular biology and in particular the mRNA and DNA vaccine technologies an HIV vaccine is very possible. We just need to push.
I contributed $100 to Change.org to keep the petition circulating.
It pays for 2,000 people to see the petition. Change.org gives us a freebie of 350 people, and only 184 of those presentations have been used. My donation is to make sure the petition keeps going for a long time.
Reposting the letter to Trump for an HIV vaccine as a separate post.
I want to have a post for reference focused only on an HIV vaccine.
Will be writing letters.
· I am going to get started writing letters, and post them and then have a directory post with links to each letter.
· I am also going to create a post where your letters can be online with your address redacted.
· I am also going to have a post where I will have sample letters for people to use.
The HIV vaccine petition has finally gotten 10 signatures.
AIDS is probably the single biggest problem the Gay community faces. Change.org gives a freebie for promoting the petition to 350 people. Our of the 184 people who have seen it as of Sunday morning, 4/13/2025, only 3 signed it. This should tell you how concerned the general public really is about Gay issues.
Please sign the petition.

HIV vaccine related topic.
mRNA vaccine fast tracked. What is the current FDA policy on mRNA vaccines?
Arcturus Therapeutics has gotten U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation for a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine candidate ARCT-2304. This has self-amplifying mRNA. This is a newer biomolecular technology than the COVID vaccines. So this indicates that there isn’t a blanket opposition to mRNA vaccines.
Still trying to make sense of what is happening. This is the 3rd fast track I have come across recently for mRNA vaccines. So is the Trump administration slowing down or not mRNA vaccine technology.
Mpox – It was(is?) circulating in England.
Clade 1b case in Manchester. Not a returning traveler or someone who knows a returning traveler. How this person got it, isn’t known. They are doing contact tracing. Maybe it has stopped circulating. As of 4/14/2025 there are no new cases. But this shows that mpox cases aren’t always being detected right away.
BBC, April 8, 2025, “Mpox case confirmed with no travel links.”
A case of Clade Ib mpox virus has been confirmed in the north-east of England, but no links have been found to other known infected people.
It added the case had "no reported travel history" and no reported link with previously confirmed cases in the UK.

Univ. of Minnesota website.
Host animal identified for mpox.
This is a step in terms of educating people in Africa how to avoid getting mpox from wild animals. For those outside Africa it means, that pandemics in Africa can be prevented and the risk of some new strain escaping outside Africa is reduced.
