Scott,

Thanks for the article. To me, it is more positive exposure to the problem of inadequate vaccines for major diseases and the necessity for timely solutions.

The accumulated summation of the pressing need & the positive steps that companies like Merck, Vical, etc... are making, will eventually bring about solution(s) and will be followed by an increase of market valuation to the companies in this field, at least IMO.

According to Vical IR, the rest of 1999 could bring: 1) the start of Merck's Phase I re: AIDS vaccine; 2) Reports on the Phase II and/or Phase III Allovectin-7 results; and 3) Possible start of Malaria 'Challenge' trials...

The continuation of positive development along these fronts coupled with the extraordinary need, will be interesting to watch, IMO...

Bill
