Did Merck's Experimental AIDS Vaccine INCREASE the Risk of AIDS?

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!

Apologies to Procol Harum & Keith Reid, In Advance:

Sung To 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' Music...

We skipped the Merck Blockbusters,
    Watched the recalls come from the FDA, more & more
I was feeling really quiet sick
    But Walgreen's called wanting to order
The hype was getting louder
    As all ethics flew away
When we called out for accountability
    The Feds just brought out their lobbyist tray...

And so it was much later
    As the Good Doc Joe told his tale
That Liberty's face, at first was ghostly,
    Turned a whiter shade of pale...

Liberty said, 'There is no reason
    And the TRUTH is plain to SEE.'
As you read through Vital Votes
    And we would not let her be
One of too many Gardisil virgins
    Who were headed for the morgue
And although my eyes were opened
    They could have just as well've been closed...

Liberty said, 'Take Control Of Your Own Health, 
     Because it's too late you see',
Saying, as she smiled ever so sadly, 
    'The Bastards already got to me...'

And though the reactive battle rages,
     And the spin is so fast as to look still,
Remember not to take the Merck false grails,
    Lest you too become a whiter shade of pale...

Uncle Russ

Is there such thing as "AIDS" in the first place?

It never spread to heterosexual population as predicted.
90% of so called HIV-positives in western world are male (60% gay men abusing mutagenic poppers, 30% IV drug abusers, and hemophiliacs receiving highly immune suppressing styptic agent). All risk groups die from specific illnesses and have almost nothing in common.

In Africa they don't even bother to perform those lame non-specific HIV test (just read the instruction!). They call AIDS just about anything from malaria and tuberculosis to wasting due to malnutrition.

So called "antiretroviral" drugs destroy immune system and create AIDS. "HIV positive" people who opt out and give up their unhealthy life style live for decades now.

I don't mean to sound cold here, but it is equally disturbing the amount of people that continue to have child after child after child when the innocent children end up starving to death, or homeless, because the parents are dying off from disease, or genocide. 
That is just as disturbing people.

Yes, but how about some super sized fries and a HFCS laden soda with that?

Facts remain much stranger than fiction.

The Mostly Evil Researchers, Crooks, & Kafkaesquers (MERCK)are merely creating more material for another follow up to John Le Carrie's 'The Constant Gardener'....

So the Merck vaccine contributed to an increase in people diagnosed with AIDS, I would not be surprised if they said it was because of better detection methods, and attempt to do everything they could to prove their vaccine worked.   Lord protect us from Merck, GSK, Bayer, etc.
