Slashdot Mirror
HIV Vaccine
The Sexecutioner writes "WebMD is reporting on a new vaccine which has had an incredible effect in clinical trials. The vaccine, composed of human dendrites holding dead HIV viruses, has dropped test patients' viral load by up to 90% in one year. Could this be it?"
Slashdot.
The only place you can work in "open-source" while talking about HIV vaccines.
Think of it as a Windows install disk that's been badly scratched.
help me i've cloned myself and can't remember which one I am
The day they found a cure for AIDS
The day they found a cure for AIDS
Everybody took one little pill and was okay
The day thay found a cure
The day they found a cure for AIDS
Everybody took one little pill and was okay
I slept with Cindy and Martha and Sue
I slept with Julie, Melissa and Kate
The day thay found a cure
The day they found a cure for AIDS
Everybody took one little pill and was okay
The people who had plotted to get rid of all the gays
Admitted their guilt and everything was fine
Everybody else said, I din't know
The day they found a cure
For 6 months, no one went to work, they all had orgies
Morning after pills were sold in grocery stores and gas stations
The day they found a cure for AIDS
Everybody took one little pill and was okay
We rented dirty movies and ordered out for food
For 3 solid weeks everyone I met was nude
I slept with Julie, Melissa and Jake
Nobody was afraid
The day they found a cure
The day they found a cure
The day they found a cure, for AIDS
Jean-Paul Sartre: I'd like a coffee please, without cream.
Waitress: Sorry, we're out of cream.
Jean-Paul Sartre: Ok, I'll have it without milk then.
So now I get to not have fun sex instead of not having stressful sex?
"She said (HIV/AIDS) was invented as a bio-weapon in some laboratory in the West,"
Ah, yes, a bio-weapon that requires soldiers to fuck like crazed rabbits while in the trenches and then hang around for about 10 years when they finally drop dead. That's some bio-weapon. I hope they fired the scientist that dreamed that one up.
(If you are into that sort of thing, it still sounds like a lot more fun than a bullet, bomb, grenade, or landmine, which is what soldiers probably usually die from.)
usher in a new error of free love!

your comment reminded me of the following line from Fight Club:
On a long enough timeline everyone's survival rate drops to zero.
France also has a great public pension system.
It's amazing the things you can afford when you don't have to pick up the big-ticket items, like a national defense.
Call me a cynic, but I have a sneaky suspicion that goodwill is only a small fraction of the motivation for Bill's giving. He's a smart man. He knows that the high cost of medicines to treat HIV represent an enormous threat to intellectual copyright enforcements, as nations stricken with AIDS come to the same conclusion as you did. And I can't think of many individuals who stand to lose more from the loss of copyright agreements than Mr. Gates.
Okay, I will call you a cynic. And you're mean too. And more than a little bit dogmatic. And kind of dumb too. And I can't be sure, but I bet your breath smells too.
I dunno how much AIDS scare y'all, but I got a theory - the day they come out with a cure for AIDS. Guaranteed, one-shot cure. On that day, there's gonna be fucking in the streets, man. It's over! Who're you? C'mere! What's your name, baby? No, it's over, yeah, woo-hoo! Man, if you can't get laid on that day, cut it off.

Free sex for all humans!
HIV isn't very contagious. So what you need is widespread education and then (in general - there'll be exceptions of course) the stupid ones will go kill themselves off. Who knows, the next few generations might even be smarter as a result (or have better self control over their sex drives - which isn't such a bad thing if you ask me). Heck it's probably unlikely the typical Slashdotter would contract HIV ;).

I'm more worried about the next killer flu pandemic. Even if the typical slashdotter doesn't leave his basement he could catch it from the pizza delivery boy!
We should ban this "shaking hands" custom and switch to the Thai-style hands-together greeting, or the Japanese-style bows.
