South Africa Tests AIDS Vaccine

Full story: www.breitbart.com

South Africa is launching clinical trials of the first AIDS vaccines created by a developing country, a feat by scientists who forged ahead even when some of their political leaders shocked the world with unscientific pronouncements about the disease.

Trials to test the safety in humans of the vaccines begin this month on 36 healthy volunteers, Anthony Mbewu, president of South Africa's government-supported Medical Research Council, said in an interview Sunday. Mbewu's respected organization shepherded the project.

A trial of 12 volunteers in the United States began earlier this year.

Mbewu said the vaccine was designed at the University of Cape Town with technical help from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, which also manufactured the vaccine.

Is it going to be another derivative of the traditional African "rape a virgin and you'll be cured of AIDS" that has led to so many infants suffering serious injuries and becoming infected with AIDS? Or is it going to be along the lines of the homeopathic 100% guaranteed cures that various African leaders have promised to share with the world soon, just after election results are in?

What Africa needs is not a cure for AIDS, which can never work since one third of all Africa is infested and cannot be stopped spreading.
What Africa needs is chemical castration injections to stop the rising population and the rampant rape. This is the only solution for Africa's health, economic and social problems.

It's my understanding that, at least so far, the vaccine route hasn't proved very promissing.

I suppose this is actually an improvement though.

Until recently the South African i.e., ANC, political leadership was actually denying that HIV caused AIDS [rolls eyes in disbelief].

So AIDS is a virus that only infects the African continent as well as rape only occuring here????

The traffic light, elevator, and the pressure cooker all have one thing in common - they were invented by Africans.

Paul Kaine, a Nigerian engineer, invented a pocket electronic map yet to be developed, patented in France and now all over the world.

The Ma'di people found in Moyo & Adjumani districts of Uganda, and in the Torit district of South Sudan have invented 'mutere' a way of drying and preserving sweet potatoes to be used on rainy days. The invention is so popular and closely associated with the Ma'di people that some people refer to the Ma'di as "Ma'di Mutere!".

Africans invented walking! But as usual we never wanted to profit from it, brand it or commercialise it! We sat back, relaxed and let the Americans run away with the idea! Hurray to Africa, what would the world be like if Lucy had not taken that first step?(Ed: "Lucy" or Dinquenesh is one of the oldest known hominids (who preceded humans) and was found in Ethiopia.)

Walter Wright a white scum that has been a fugitive for 10 years has been nabbed in Tennessee and will be brought back to SA to face criminal charges.

Americans have been dying of sinces since the 70s, the first AIDS death was recorded in USA in 1969. Access to ARVs doesn't mean Americans or whites are less infected, ARVs are not a cure for AIDS. White scums from SA are the last subhumans to point fingers about AIDS and rape, they are just as infected and commit suicide to escape the shame.
