(BW) (VAXGEN) Statement Relating to Victims of Swissair Crash

BUSINESS WIRE; Thursday, September 3, 1998


SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1998--Dr. Donald P. Francis, President of VaxGen Inc., today issued the following statement regarding the deaths of Jonathan Mann and Mary Lou Clements-Mann in the Swissair crash:

For me, this is a deep personal loss. I have known and admired both Jonathan Mann and Mary Lou Clements-Mann as personal friends and professional colleagues for many years. For the world, the loss is incalculable. Jonathan and Mary Lou were indefatigable workers and spokespersons in the battle to improve world health. They brought invaluable knowledge, skills and pioneering leadership to the greatest public health challenge of our day -- the AIDS epidemic. This leaves a great void on the front lines of medicine.
