Which really makes a mockery of the intent of the program. So does handing the reins to someone with a clear bias against finding something. Or whatever Liira's role was in it. Just like they did with the intramural program being handed to Wallit.
I would not imagine that AIDS research would have achieved much if it had all been handed down to deniers of a pathogenic cause, who would have preferred conversion therapy to deal with it. Aside from being hard, easily over half of the reason why nothing has been found is because most efforts were led by people with less than zero interest in finding anything.
