Los Angeles Times ^ | April 25 2013 | Melissa Healy,

Federal researchers shut down a clinical trial of an HIV vaccine involving about 2,500 subjects after it is found to be ineffective at preventing healthy subjects from contracting the virus.

so in other words, once they gave the subjects HIV, they couldn’t cure them?

HIV is easy to prevent.

Keep your crank out of your Buddy’s butt.

So how did that work exactly? Get the vaccine, then go try to get infected?

“so in other words, once they gave the subjects HIV, they couldn’t cure them?”

I was trying to figure this out. Did these guys get the vaccine and then go on to contract HIV? Were they encouraged to live their ‘lifestyle’ to prove the vaccine worked?

well the way a vaccine works is that you give the patient a teensy bit and his body works up the antibodies to fight it..............guess it didn’t work that way in this instance, they gave them HIV and then couldn’t cure them, dumb dumb dumb

I can see the doctor gathering them into an auditorium to give them the “good news/bad news”. “Well dudes and dudettes, the good news first. The vaccine doesn’t work as an anti-HIV vaccine as we had hoped, but the pills were discovered to be excellent breath mints. The bad news is that you who have contacted HIV will die a horrible painful death as the vaccine accelerates and intensifies the infections. The Dept. of Health and Human Services thanks you for your sacrifice and we will be handing out free breath mints and condoms as you leave as a token of our appreciation.”

They didn’t give them HIV. They gave them a virus genetically designed to be similar enough to HIV that the antibodies produced would also fight the HIV virus.

Sounds like it was a complete success to me.

They should have kept it going and enrolled more of the poor, victimized bullies.

However they are still guiding children to perform actions that will spread the disease, so there will be plenty of guinea pigs in the future.

They also give half the volunteers a placebo instead of a real vaccine. The problem is that, as many on FR have guessed, even the chance of having the real vaccine tends to increase the rate for risky behavior It's not unusual for these tests to produce an increase in HIV rates for both the vaccine group and the placebo group. It's hard to protect people if their priorities do not include protection.

Altogether, there were 41 HIV infections among the 1,250 study volunteers who got the experimental vaccine and 30 infections among the 1,244 who received the placebo

Ooops.

Must’ve been those gays that get married and only have sex with their partner.

Oh, well. No matter. Obamacare will cover them.

Researchers improved upon the Aidsvax vaccine and tested the new formulation, called RV-144, in heterosexuals in Thailand. In 2009, they found that it reduced infection rates by 30%.

Which means it has a 70% failure rate in preventing HIV.... Egads.

if they spent 1/10 the money on Hep-C as they do these filthy disease ridden queers, they might actually accomplish something, save some lives and do some good...

I agree with others that this is weird.

They give you the shots, which are either the drug or a placebo, and then what?

Do they say “have at it” and let us know how the tests come back? They almost have to, or they wouldn’t get any effective data.

...and then they apologize for giving those people what amounts to death sentence (except for Magic Johnson).

There are many HIV/AIDS ‘dissidents’ who question the entire AIDS orthodoxy...

*Many question if HIV exists at all. (HIV tests only test for antibodies. They are unable to test for HIV itself).

*Some believe HIV probably exists but that it doesn’t cause AIDS.

*Some believe HIV is a harmless retrovirus and that the highly toxic HIV drugs, along with other co-factors, such as overuse of antibiotics, recreational drug use, other illnesses,etc are what cause people to die of so called ‘AIDS’.

Furthermore, there are many who claim HIV/AIDS drugs are not needed AT ALL in order to live a long, healthy life - that in fact, those toxic drugs are very counterproductive.
Many have lived 10, 15, 20 years or more without ever having taking the AIDS drugs. Changing lifestyle habits - what you eat, wreckless sex, etc., is what matters most. The so-called AIDS ‘experts’ claim HIV can take 10 years before someone shows symptoms. Yet, has there been any other virus out there for which they make such a claim?
