HIV/AIDS Vaccine To Begin Phase I Human Trials
An anonymous reader writes "An HIV/AIDS vaccine developed in Ontario has applied for Phase 1 human trials. Safety and immunogenicity studies of the vaccine, dubbed SAV001-H, have already been completed on animals. Phase 1 human trials will check the safety of the vaccine on HIV positive volunteers. Phase 2 will then test immunogenicity."
Ideas like that should be encouraged, as they could be very helpful in ridding the world of the religious right.
I'm sorry, who on the religious right has ever expressed sentiments similar to what you are suggesting?

Just 80,000 more government hoops to jump through, and we could one day be allowed to save the lives of our loved ones who in the mean time have died. Thank you, federal government, for saving us from making decisions for ourselves!
According to a report by CNN, the Kenyans still hunt and burn supposed witches. Curiously, Barack Hussein Obama has often parised the culture of Kenya. His father is a Kenyan.
Or, just let the disease kill all the morons, and quit strapping the rest of society with the financial burden of keeping these twits 1.) Alive, 2.) Believing that they're entitled to existence despite the fact that they've engaged in behavior that is obviously counter self-preservation in our current society.
DUH.
You do not have a right to burden society through your existence.
This is not a question of race, sexuality, or ethnicity. It's a case of stupid people doing stupid things, getting a chronic and fatal disease. Let them die. They're stupid, and they place the rest of us (especially the bleeding hearts who want to help really really badly) at risk.
I say, bring back the leper colonies -- except make them HIV / AIDS colonies.
If you have AIDS you're probably better-educated about your syndrome than your average bear.
Sssh, or the Democrats will demand that all bear cubs and human children get an equal education.
Fast forward to when we're passing it out like candy in Africa.
People who already have AIDS will get it, and with a lack of good information (such as the headline's "HIV/AIDS"), people will think they're cured, that they can't pass it on, etc.
Is it safe to assume that you're incredibly ignorant of the health situation in Africa, and not just a heartless racist?
Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
And it seemed to have worked. As far as we know, he did not die of AIDS!
.there is enough of everything for everyone.
I think the fact that your mind went straight to... "throw them a few hookers" speaks volumes as to your character.
A case can probably be made as to why death row inmates deserve to be subjects in dangerous experimentation (I don't agree, but I can see a valid argument at least!), but the fact that you can just say... "throw them some hookers..", suggest to me that you might not be a million miles away, in mentality, from said inmates.
