I guess there still are some people who believe in doing the right thing. Even though that mostly doesn’t exist in the so called moral values people who took over the republican party.

“The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the Los Angeles-based provider of care and support for about 65,000 patients in 20 countries, called for a moratorium on HIV vaccine research.

“It’s unfortunate that it took an AIDS vaccine trial that made more people become infected to make people pay attention and stop this runaway train,” said Michael Weinstein, the group’s president, in a telephone interview today. “There’s no validity in the underlying idea that there will be an AIDS vaccine.”

Before spending more money and time on a human test of the government’s vaccine, researchers should go back to trying to understand the AIDS virus, said Ronald Desrosiers, a Harvard University scientist.

“I am against seeing it go forward,” he said in an e- mail. “I am willing to listen to arguments to the contrary, but have not heard any yet to make me feel otherwise.”
