  no, sorry, I was going to add more text and put the bullets into a footnote, but went back to coding. If you would like more information on something similar, consider: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/may/27/aids.features https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/may/27/aids.features The flip side of this is that I used to work in structural biology, and there were tons of structural biology grants flying around justifying studying these antibodies on the grounds that they might lead directly to vaccination strategies. Well, that is highly unlikely because some of these antibodies have a germline (versus adaptive immunity internal random generator) mutation that fundamentally changes the higher-order architecture of their antibodies that makes them not comparable to the antibodies that the rest of us have. The blatant (deliberate or brainless, I wasn't sure) mischaracterization by the PIs and the brazen funding of these proposals (deliberate or brainless, I wasn't sure) by the grant program managers that contributed me to leaving academia. I just wish they were honest and said "we are studying this because it's interesting and we would like to know more about the universe".
