Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, September 24, 2009

For the first time, an experimental vaccine has prevented infection with the AIDS virus, a watershed event in the deadly epidemic. The vaccine, which combines two previously unsuccessful vaccines, cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by 31 percent in a trial of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand.

Does that mean people can go back to having unsafe sex then?

It only reduces risk it is not a cure all yet.

you can't vaccinate against the wrath of God, what wrong with these people!

God is going to be pissed.

"You can't vaccinate against the wrath of God..."

Sure you can!! You can SAVE yourself!

And you don't have to worry about a health care plan to do if free!!

Ironic, isn't it? A 31% reduction in the infection rate gives a whole new meaning to "69".

This isn't the first HIV vaccine to be developed, but it is the first somewhat effective one.

If it is used in a larger population, it will be interesting to see how it effects the evolution of HIV.

Wouldn't God's will allow for the creation of this vaccine?

"Wouldn't God's will allow for the creation of this vaccine"?

That would be counter productive, wouldn't it?

What my point is if God is all powerful and all knowing, and you believe that he allowed aids to punish people, wouldn't he logically be promoting this 'vaccine' by allowing it to be created?

So much for the plan to repopulate Africa with Southern Baptists.

& god knows what the pharmy big boys will do when they get to run the show elsewhere...

Seasonal flu shot may increase H1N1 risk
www.cbc.ca

Preliminary research suggests the seasonal flu shot may put people at greater risk for getting swine flu, CBC News has learned.

Tell Gavin the good news, he can open up all the bath houses again.

Andy, I don't think God "allowed" AIDS to "punish" people.
I'm sure there are those who do, but there are nuts everywhere....

"Preliminary research suggests the seasonal flu shot may put people at greater risk for getting swine flu, CBC News has learned."

"preliminary"

"suggests"

"may"

"greater risk"

And the article is even more vague!
But still, the press puts it out, and it becomes "fact"...

Of coarse I don't think it is the wrath of God, I was being facetious towards those that do. It was the Chinese.

Bu - gotcha. I thought you were serious. You are right about the Chinese though.

Does that mean people can go back to having unsafe sex then?

Yes, dude, even with monkeys. LOl The things people say makes me really wonder about the next generation.

Um...you were the one to bring monkeys into the discussion. I gotta wonder about your generation....

Dang it Andy you made me blow my cover.

What does that have to do with anything?

AIDS is now a bigger problem amongst the straight community than the gay community.

...or were you just trying to get your daily bigotry out there?

What a quack.

If that's what he wanted to do he would have asked if its delivered as a suppository.

Gays in SF are catching up to Ugandans in the contest of spreading AIDS. I'm rooting for the US team.

I'd like to know how they got people to volunteer for this trial.

So this way is better because...you DIE from the Vaccine and not from AIDS???

HIV is a virus, so it mutates continuously. That's why you need a different flu shot each year, and one in three times, the flu shot does not match the prevalent strain.

Are you going to get a new HIV shot every year?

Um...you were the one to bring monkeys into the discussion. I gotta wonder about your generation....

No son, if you do your homework you will discover that AIDs was a simian disease before some human ate their raw organs.

What a senseless, bigoted thing to post, but what else should anyone expect from such a brain-trust.

Where do yo get your information from? The Reagan years?

The spread of HIV in the gay community of San Fran is, per capita, some of the most controlled in the nation.

Christians in the US are catching up to Ugandans in the contest of spreading Moronism.

I'm rooting for the return of lions.
