it, the billstand and melinda gates foundation has been involved with it. clearly, they see it as a development old tool -- developmental tool. will the people who need it most, some of the poorest people on the planet, will they be elegant this vaccine? made it clear they will make it cost effective. very, very cheap. the gates foundation has given billions and billions of dollars of aid, and are committed to this. it is useful to note, there are around 20 valeri vaccines in development. this is by far and away the most advanced, but there is a pipeline now. this isn't the end, but a process. within the next decade, and i will be as vague as that, we will have a vaccine. it will be truly remarkable. some people said it couldn't be done because of this unusual lifestyle of the parasite going to the liver and takes about a week to go through. it is very difficult to tackle. incredible research has gone into this. >> what does it tell us, this cooperation between the commercial organization of glaxosmithkline and having the bill and melinda gates foundation?
