South African AIDS researchers have begun warning hundreds of volunteers that a highly touted experimental vaccine they received in recent months might make them more, not less, likely to contract HIV in the midst of one of the world's most rampant epidemics.
The move stems from the discovery last month that an AIDS vaccine developed by Merck & Co. might have led to more infections than it averted among study subjects in the United States and other countries. Among those who received at least two doses of the vaccine, 19 contracted HIV compared with 11 of those given placebos.
Oh, boo hoo, poor Merck. They've only had 25 years and billions of dollars to come up with this spectacularly useless vaccine. Could it just be remotely possible that they can't develop a vaccine because they got everything WRONG from the start?
Ode to Merck They seek it here, they seek it there Those Merckies seek it everywhere Does it only exist? In Gallo's mind? The pathogen they cannot find!
