This is just too disgusting.

Stupid thread title.

Why should private companies risk huge amounts of money without any guarantee that they will profit from it? You aren't fighting poverty in Africa. Does that mean a solution to poverty in Africa is being delayed by your personal greed?

good point, the african countries have already 'stolen' the aids meds that do exsist claming they shouldn't have to pay and make 'knock offs' in their own country . . . this just in: we are not responsible for aids in africa

xclusive · 12-25-2005, 04:27 PM

Well of course med companies are scum always have been they are there for taking care of not to cure no money in that. But i'm sick of wasting money on africa until they are willing to help themselves it's wasted money

WarChild · 12-25-2005, 04:31 PM

Just forget about Africa already. It's fucked.

Is that really a surprise?

Pah leeeeesssse!

Welcome to the truth if it is news to you.

Manowar · 12-25-2005, 04:45 PM

damn, that's fucked up

Cory W · 12-25-2005, 05:07 PM

I find it funny that we generalize many sociological roles as philanthropic by nature, when they are not.

Maybe an article could be produced as to why Ecomm site owners are not donating enough money and time to research?

Perception is reality but spin is truth when published.

They were absolutely right when they threatened to stop acknowledging certain patents. When your life is in the balance, intellectual property means nothing. When millions of lives are in the balance, intellectual property means less than nothing.

montel · 12-25-2005, 05:50 PM

if you want to stop aids in africa, why dont you talk to the CATHOLIC CHURCH who have been stopping africans from using condoms over there. this is so irresponsible it is almost criminal. they attempt to stop the distribution of condoms and tell them NOT to use them.

but there is a reason for this right - cos we all know that bit in the bible that says you cant use condoms (commandment 17 i think)... or did jesus say this at some point i just cant remember now.

sumphatpimp · 12-25-2005, 06:39 PM

aids is a virus.
you can not develope a vaccine against a virus, it constantly mutates.

tony286 · 12-25-2005, 06:51 PM

its sad I hate to say this but they aren't missionaries.

You are right. Polio vaccine is a myth. Smallpox vaccine is a lie. Flu shots are a hoax. MMR vaccine is just an urban legend.

Sometimes, when you clearly don't know the slightest thing whatsoever about a subject, it's best to keep quiet

The Vatican isn't telling people to have unsafe extramarital sex. Someone who listens to the pope, and whose partner does so too, is quite unlikely to catch HIV.

The Vatican isn't helping things by discouraging the use of condoms, but the truth of the matter is that people who have condomless extramarital sex stopped listening to the Vatican the moment they decided to have extramarital sex. It's simply ridiculous to believe that the Vatican is responsible for the way in which people do something the Catholic Church completely forbids them to do in the first place.

Of course, the disinformation spread by the Church about condoms is another matter entirely - the pope should be dragged out of the Vatican and shot for telling people that condoms do not protect against HIV.

they are not mutating viruses

biftek · 12-25-2005, 08:23 PM

i aint a sciencetist , but from my understanding of the gene code , while some of the strings in the genome do mutate from host to host , the base architecture of the strain remains the same , i mean if it mutated so much that it was no longer the same how could one determine if it is the AIDS virus they are dealing with or something totally different

there has to be some base code that links all the strains together which is most likely what they are targeting , the building block/foundation of the virus

from what i remember from an article i read awhile ago , they haven't really found a vaccine to stop infection , but they have found a vaccine to slow the progression of the virus

Just Mike · 12-26-2005, 12:20 AM

wasnt there a china developed vaccine just announced a few weeks ago? I thought I read something about it here on GFY. Someone posted a link to the British News source ( I think)

Wrong, as a quick Google search will undoubtedly tell you.

From now on, please don't make any more posts about things you clearly don't understand. Saying the flu doesn't mutate... lol.

They completed the first phase of testing, I believe, meaning that the vaccine won't actually infect people with HIV itself. Two more much extensive and time-consuming phases are needed to see if the vaccine will actually work.

Lets start a nonprofit drug company and get tons of donations and grants

smack · 12-26-2005, 01:48 PM

the short answer is that MANY cures, treatments, and preventitive measure are stalled or discarded by corporate greed.

BigasMoe · 12-26-2005, 01:53 PM

I'm still trying to figure out how the Vatican came into all of this!

I'm glad you can see the light of day instead of some of these knuckledraggers around here.

With the competition from Asia for rapid and top knotch medical care, you can bet all of a sudden new breakthroughs are gonna come from the U.S. because they don't wanna get caught short.

je_rome · 12-26-2005, 06:26 PM

AIDS vaccine research has been long plagued with politics and I'm pretty have a feeling that funds are corrupted.

Egads!

For profit businesses making decisions based on profitablity.

Truely amazing.
