So let them defect and represent other countries.

I was a racer on the verge of Europa cup, no. Hirscher won by seconds in a much more competitive time and age oh and let's not forget the man won so many overalls he just got tired and fucked off still in his prime. And the numbers on their own mean little to me. I'd put Tomba over Ingemar too.

My brother was a diver as a kid, he went to dive camp during the summers, apparently Greg was there and my brother forgot his lunch or something along those lines and Greg split his with him, fucking love that guy.

Sometimes I think I’m attractive and then I see people like this.

As an Austrian the current season hurts to watch. But what Shiffrin has been doing for the last is simply put amazing. The mental strength and sheer skill the US ladies have been demonstrating for YEARS (lets not forget Vonn) is astounding.

Hats off!

Who buys someone else’s medals?

If you see her interviews, follow her on social media or watch the documentaries following her, she comes across as quite nice. Humble and considerate. Quite funny at times.

I'd rather trust that, than some FUD an anonymous redditor has invented.

I do believe that we are only a few years, or not a decade, away from an HIV vaccine

What the hell is wrong with you

That posted in the wrong spot. Sorry. Gonna delete

What?

Basically eradicating polio took near-universal childhood injections. That's really doable outside of extraordinarily remote places like mountain villages in Afghanistan, which coincidentally is where polio remains endemic.

Basically eradicating HIV with the tools we have available instead requires most every infected person to (1) know they're infected, and (2) stay on treatment for the rest of their life. These are especially difficult requirements in places with poor medical infrastructure, like sub-Saharan Africa.

Comparing the two is really comparing apples and oranges at a technical level. HIV is just vastly harder to knock out, despite immense advances in technology.

That said, MSM communities in advanced countries have experienced consistently lower transmission over the last few years, probably due to the prevalence of PreP. There's a chance that HIV in those communities will be very rare in the coming decades. Hopefully the rest of the world will follow.

Or who knows? Maybe an HIV vaccine will finally prove effective some year? It's not as if they've stopped trying, they just always get halted early because they don't work. It's very disheartening.

I don’t know THAT much about sports, but this was a terrible trade.

Yeah but she was too scared to race Chris Laker that one time

Bears fans absolutely love this deal.

My point is we did it before with far worse technology than we have now, far worse a grasp on epidemics than we have now. The tools we used to eradicate those diseases still exist, the methodologies still exist and have been monumentally improved upon. We work with technologies people of only a decade ago would deem impossible. These problems are indeed complicated, but we've banded together to solve complicated problems before.

If we were to throw ourselves entirely at eradicating AIDS, it'd be done in many parts of the world in a matter of years, I'd say. Not decades, hears. Just like we did with smallpox, just like we did with polio, and just like we did with cholera.

It's like we're in a daze and can't just pick something to focus on.
