the difference with polio is polio vaccine is a really easy they were very good friends of mine, but it is really easy, you just need to do it. why is it easy? 90 plus percent of people infected with polio to find. a very small percent do poorly. everyone recovers makes a beautiful immune response. all you have to do is induce it. the implementation is a problem. why haven't we eradicated polio after all of these years? it is an implementation issue. a are dealing with hiv is implementation problem. people say why do you put so much or how come you have not put enough? i think we need to continue to push hard to make vaccine a high priority. >> i hear you say it is as much science. >> it is. you have to convince donors to continue to support it. you have engaged -- engaged in on theo put the money table. how do you make the case in the ever-changing world of washington, d.c.? rex absolutely. you need data and need to show modeling like what we showed today. especially when a lot of people think we have an hiv vaccine. interesting how we all went back to reeducate the audience. about w

but the difference with polio is vaccine is a really easy vaccine. sorry. was a really good friend of mine. but it's really easy. you just needed to do it. why is it easy? because 90-plus percent of withe who get infected polio do fine. all you got to do is induce the immune response. implementation as you mentioned is the problem. eradicated polio after all these years? much an implementation issue. we're dealing with h.i.v., it's not antific problem, implementation problem. so it is a direct -- we're putting a lot of money in. people say why do you put so much or you haven't put enough. think we need to continue to push hard to make vaccine a very high priority. saying that the factor here is as much science as -- >> it really is. >> and the other challenge, with all the other prevention modalities you talked about is the human part of it, getting them and keep using them. margie, you have to convince donors to continue to support iavi. you've been engaged at merck in trying to convince your board to put money on the table. how do you make the case in the

the difference with polio is that polio vaccine is a really easy vaccine -- i'm sorry. they were good friends of mine by this is easy. you just needed to do it. why is easy? because 90% plus of people get infected with polio do fine. a very small percent, everyone recovers makes an immune response that is protected at all you got to do is induce it. then the obligation as you mentioned is the problem. why have a we eradicated polio after all these years? if very much an implementation issue but we do with hiv as a scientific problem, not an implementation problem. it isn't direct -- we're putting a lot of money in the edges of people to want to put so much, or how can haven't put enough? i think we need to continue to push hard to make vaccine a very high priority. >> i hear you saying that it is much of science as -- >> it really is. >> the other challenge, all the of the prevention motel with doctor is the after human part of it which is getting people to use them and keep using them. so margie, you have to convince donors to continue to promote iavi. jeff sluman of th

one of the things that came out of the discussion around polio is the stick to it intention. it took awhile to get the vaccine but now we are seeing some dilution of commitments to seeing through the final eradication of the polio virus. overs the years, you have seen spurts of energy, so there is a doubling of the nih budget, if you pay for that later buying spotlighting the budget and certainly that results in the flat lining of the hiv but along with the nih overall budget. what do we do to keep the energy going? financing and political energy, once you start, dr. fauci you spent a lot of time with congress, would you think? >> to hear the answer, part of it is capturing the successes. we do have this challenge we had a successful 2009. an enormous amount of work has happened since then. it is hard to describe, and we are different at articulating promising things that have been happening and what we need to do. as hard as the science is we should never assume the delivery part, i would argue as hard as the science is delivery will be harder and we need to be prepared for that with the aids vaccine and aid
