Nice find Gophferboy,

I'm currently undergoing treatment for CMV, a disease GNVC is working on a vaccine for. Fortunately, my condition isn't that bad, though I'm at City of Hope, the experimental treatments that exist were my condition far worse have some nasty side effects that I've been told wouldn't make it worth my while to try on a milder case. If I weren't already under treatment for leukemia I doubt if a hospital stay would have been necessary.

It's my belief that GNVC's vaccine may be of future benefit to many, mostly babies, who get this disease, but I think they'll need a partner to afford to put it through clinical trials.
