took some profits over on the big board today, and feel good about the valuation and position GOVX has vs peers here
W.H.O. virus alert that now has 9 countries on "high alert" in Eastern Africa (Sunday's news)
Nine Billion global population expected by 2050
Bill Gates & Warren Buffett several years ago began a joint hedge fund with a $40B dollar contribution from each = an $80B fund
specifically to help fund biotechs in the field of Malaria, and HiV
Bill Gates just announced another $100M today - in the field of Alzheimers.
when SARS broke out well over a decade ago - the entire biotech sector got a much needed lift that lasted for 4 years, and the same thing with the Anthrax specific stocks back in 2001
** it seems that GOVX's platform can be applied to a broad spectrum and that's what the W.H.O. has been screaming for (especially for Africa) **
Ebola is still on the minds of investors, and if GeoVax's goal is to combine the vaccines into a single tetravalent vaccine for broad protection... then hello
a disproportional amount of funding from the CDC ($50M??) ...but it's the internal W.H.O. mandate to support a broad spectrum vaccine and, GOVX's "Single-dose protection is a favorable characteristic of a vaccine for emerging infectious disease outbreak response, given the speed of spread of pathogens and the impracticality of multi-dose regimens in the under-resourced settings where outbreaks often occurs"
GOVX first vaccine candidate (Ebola-Zaire virus) = 100% protection against death after a single dose.
