It cost 200 000$ to develop, Where did all the trillions we put into drugs gone ?
Here is the OPERATIVE sentence from that publication:
"They've tested the theory in a computer model and in cells in a dish." Computer model an petrie dish ain't a human being.
God wishing they HAD developed a cure, but they haven't.
So ya gotta be careful about posting "found a virus to kill hiv" as it hasn't even been tested on ANIMALS yet.
