Great News In The Fight Against AIDS

The first phase of testing on 49 Chinese volunteers of an AIDS vaccine seem to have proved safe and effective. The paid volunteers have shown no signs of serious negative side effects after 180 days and seem to now be immune to the AIDS virus. The second and third phases of testing are slated to begin soon. This is excellent news and we can only hope that the patent will remain nationaly owned by the Chinese government and not sold of to an independant commercial organization. If that were the case we would risk seeing a repeat of the AZT debacle, courtesy of Glaxo-Wellcome in 2000. Keep your fingers crossed for this one.
