New aids vaccine - Yes, there is hope

[SolidSnake76]

[color=#000000]For more than 20 years, it's been a struggle for AIDS researchers like immunologist Julie McElrath, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. McElrath, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle: "HIV is tricky. It is definitely eluding us." Since the mid-80s, scientists have been trying to produce an AIDS vaccine. There have been countless studies that have enrolled people like Wendy Hilliker. Dr. McElrath: "It was important for me because I had seen people that I cared about -- people that I'd worked with -- succumb to AIDS." The virus has a crafty ability to mutate and evade drugs designed to fight it. But some promising findings from yet another vaccine offer new hope. Dr. McElrath: "For now, we think it's the best thing we've seen yet, ever

lol u made this topic here too..... well yeah its good news....... we need vaccines ....we need cures...... its about time these scientists start giving us what they are gettin paid for....

[~Mastermax~]

many scientists are being paid not to discover the cure for things...

the people that are really over paid are the pharmaceutical companies they purposely charge extra and make less cures to raise their price. most off the money that they are supposed to be using for research is used for advertising.

And the other 40 million people all over the world.

what are you, stupid? 84% of Aids sufferers are non-gay, and lesibans are the lowest Aids rate with less than 1%.

Aids doesn't discriminate and I hope that someone you love gets aids so then you will realize that.

This is good news, this could help change the face of Africa completely, what with the G8 countries talking about tackling poverty, clearing debts, and investing in Africa things are looking up for Africa and its people, and of course not forgetting the main issue, a possible defense against aids for those who suffer from it.

god damn o_O... i should read the news more... but this "vaccine is only something to prevent it right? you still die right?

vf you realize that in the 80s and early ninties, only homosexual men had aids, and then it spread into heterosexual society somehow.

and it's understandable for lesbians not to have aids, becuase to get aids you have to be able to have sexual intercourse with some kind of penetration, and thats something lesbians can't do becuase of the lack of, well, penises. the only other way to spread aids without penetration is for your blood to have been touched by some else's blood, by means of a syrienges or a large wound.

but then again with a wound like that you have other more important problems at the time.

You realize that that's myth told to you (probably by the church) to spread homophobia?

Everyone had aids. Gay people, straight people, black people, white people, everyone got it equally.

The only reason why this myth started is that they noticed something was killing gay men all in the same way, and called it aids. It was killing straight men and women the same way, but as you know, aids doesn't kill, it takes away immunities, so they were labled as "unknown sickness" instead of what it was, aids.
