First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful
rbarreira writes "Xinhua online is reporting on the success of the first trial phase of an AIDS vaccine, which was started on March 2005. From the article: '"Forty-nine healthy people who received the injection showed no severe adverse reactions after 180 days, proving the vaccine was safe," said Zhang Wei, head of the pharmaceutical registration department of the SFDA. "The recipients appeared immune to the HIV-1 virus 15 days after the injection, indicating the vaccine worked well in stimulating the body's immunity," he told the press conference.' After the results are further analyzed, 800 more voluntaries may be needed for the second and third phases of the vaccine's trial."
Some of them do. A lot of them don't.
HIV is a retrovirus. According to Duesberg, who was a nobel candidate in retrovirology, retroviruses never cause disease.
David Rasnick, who invented protease inhibitors, says that HIV has "never been found in a human being."
Rodney Richards, who helped found AmGen, says that HIV tests are "an illusion."
Kary Mullis, nobel prize winner, who invented PCR, says "I haven't seen any evidence, or even anybody trying to show evidence," that HIV causes the 30 diseases known as AIDS.
Robert Gallo, who announced HIV's connection with AIDS at a press conference, stole his sample from a French lab. What other scientific breakthroughs were announced at press conferences...cold fusion, human cloning.
Most of my sources come from the movie The Other Side of AIDS, where these people are personally interviewed. If you think I'm misquoting them, then it's your burden of proof. These researchers positions on AIDS are well-known.
In fact, here you go:

Mullis: "You know, to say that all 30 of those are somehow caused, in at least some cases called AIDS cases, by a virus called HIV, I think -- I haven't seen any evidence for that. I haven't even seen anybody trying to bring evidence forth for that."
Has everyone forgotten that this is China? The truth & reality is not really gaurenteed. How do we know this is for real? All media is controled by the Communist government. Seriously, how do we know this isn't an attempt to get some type of power in future (& possibly current) trade deals?
If they can get a vaccine for aids, vaccinate the important people in Chinese society and a certain percentage of the population, they could try and use aids as either a bioweapon in war or against their own people to solve their population problem.
We don't even know if this is for real? Has anyone outside of China verified these claims? I for one am not swallowing this magic pill of a story. I am also not going to be in line when they hand it out. I want a better solution to the AIDS problem as much as anyone else, but I really don't believe this story.
At the next eco-hypocrisy-meeting, count the private jets used to get to the meeting. Should be interesting to see that
>Oh, please. This is just like "proving" someone that 9/11 was an inside job by telling that person to watch Loose Change.
You ignored the whole section of quotes showing that people in peer-reviewed studies do survive HIV.
When a person ignores arguments as a way of making a "rebuttal", I start to wonder if they have a vested interest.
You want a better solution to the AIDS/HIV problem?
