Comments on: AIDS Vaccine Study Results Are Questioned http://www.pharmalot.com/2009/10/aids-vaccine-study-results-are-questioned/ News, Comment and Conversation Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:50:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: criticnyc http://www.pharmalot.com/2009/10/aids-vaccine-study-results-are-questioned/#comment-437436 criticnyc Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:34:38 +0000 http://www.pharmalot.com/?p=19004#comment-437436 The fudging reflects the failure of vaccine research in AIDS, which follows failure to develop microbicides and the refusal to admit that it was drugs that killed people initially, not HIV. AZT came in and lives were lost, AZT was reduced and lives were extended, AZT (and now protease inhibitors) was eliminated and patients thrived. Instead of concluding so conveniently that this proved "drugs work" AIDS scientists should have admitted that year after year all the evidence is that HIV is not causing AIDS, and AIDS is not infectious. Instead, they continue this failed story in AIDS year after year instead of treating ailments appropriately and without damaging drugs directed against a cause now thoroughly disproven. As an example of bad science supported by politics there is no more egregious example of gross waste of public money and lives lost.

I didn't read any big accusations and inquiries from Grassley or the NYT.

Be nice if the world got behind the fight against it like they did with polio.. AIDS is more of a threat to the human race than the Taliban.
