HIV Vaccine Approval For Human Trials
An anonymous reader writes with news that researchers from the University of Western Ontario have been given approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin testing an HIV vaccine in humans. From the article:
"The vaccine is the first based on a genetically modified killed whole virus, [researchers said.] ... a clinical trial on 40 HIV-positive volunteers will begin next month. That phase will last a year, after which 600 HIV-negative volunteers will see how the vaccine impacts their immune systems. A final phase, which will take about three years, will involve about 6,000 HIV-negative volunteers."
I agree, now people can go back to having sex with monkeys!
But it might cause autism in Jenny McCarthy's future kid!
This isn't just positive news, its HIV positive.
When "...common side effects may include: itching, rash, diarrhea, constipation, shortness of breath, nausea, inability to urinate, hair falling out, unusual hair growth, erections lasting longer than four hours, seizure, coma, or death..."

Can it be modified to cause autism in Jenny McCarthy?
No, it's been more than 22.3 years. AIDS is finally funny.
You know not all cancers are the same? and saying 'cure for cancer' is ignorant, right?
Then why is there a "Cure for Cancer" wonder in Civilization, eh? Answer that smart guy.
So do you think Big Condom is behind the lie?
No, it's been more than 22.3 years. AIDS is finally funny.

Canadians are smart enough to not volunteer for something like this. [duck]
File under 'M' for 'Manic ranting'
What are you going to do with it when you simultaneously have diarrhoea and constipation?

WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
When you walk into the ER, the sign up desk is usually the first thing you see in front of you.
/Well, if you've had an erection for 4 hours, maybe the second thing you see.
