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?
Further elaboration on my blog do read and comment
The best vaccine against AIDS that has been produced todate is "ABSTENTION".
The next best vaccine is "WILLPOWER".
Think it is a two edged sword
