If you haven't already read the news, it has been reported that in Thailand, researches have come up with an AIDS vaccine. It is believed that this vaccine could reduce the risk of being infected with AIDS by a third.
Now what is undoubtly shocking to me, is not that this vaccine is found. But that it was reported that VOLUNTEERS were willing to test the vaccine, in which some were given it, and others were given a placebo and the results, according the channelnewsasia, is that
"Out of the placebo recipients, 74 of 8,198 became infected compared with 51 of 8,197 who got the vaccine."
Now, why was this "scientific experiment" allowed to happen?, AIDS is a permanent diesease that ultimately kills a person, and yet these people volunteered to test the vaccine by being test experiments?, this is just like signing your death warrent. I'm starting to have a hint of suspicion that these people did not realize what they are putting themselves up to and were not briefed properly.
How low can humanity go, for the sake of wanting to find a cure for AIDS, we are willing to sacrifice VOLUNTEERS?
so can anyhow make love alr?

well-pawned
wait till this news is carried in the media first lar. you cant believe everything you read these days. newspapers has no code of ethics in their news reporting these days.
Thailand people are poor and uneducated meh so very easy to fool them to volunteer to test the vaccine.
Maybe give them some free bread to eat than they volunteer already
I bet they don't even know what vaccine they are trying. If they know its for aids I bet they won't volunteer

i don't think, when they say "became infected " means getting AIDS.
just a wild guess, they might have draw the blood of those who had taken the placebo and the vaccine and mix it with the AIDS virus and observe the process, outcome, wadever.
not literally infecting those people with AIDS virus.
