Promising Vaccine Candidate Could Lead To a Definitive Cure For HIV 185
Zothecula writes "A very promising vaccine candidate for HIV/AIDS has shown the ability to completely clear the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a very aggressive form of HIV that leads to AIDS in monkeys. Developed at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), the vaccine proved successful in about fifty percent of the subjects tested and could lead to a human vaccine preventing the onset of HIV/AIDS and even cure patients currently on anti-retroviral drugs."

Which is why they spent over $500 million in 2011 just on HIV vaccine clinical trials? Sorry, your argument doesn't really hold water, and anyway the company that *does* come up with the vaccine will make a killing.
I agree, but you are arguing against a conspiracy theory, never works.

You don't buy tinfoil hats. The ones you buy are all compromised. Learn how to build a tinfoil hat yourself.

Is this persistent virus infectious? I guess a vaccination that you get by having sex with a vaccinated person might prove quite popular ;-)

This is because there is no such thing as conspiracies.
And no such thing as collusion, cartels, corruption etc. either. It's all in his head. Why does he hate pharma so much? They're only doing their level best to make people healthy and happy and provide sunshine and ponies for all.

Nah, then they will just pay someone to write a paper stating that HIV vaccine causes autism.

You think all Bayer makes is HIV treatments? Losing one product doesn't make a company go bankrupt.
True, when Bayer's heroin sales became unpopular, and then it lost it's Zyklon-B product line, they still had aspirin to fall back on.
