AIDS UPDATE
The gathering of information about the only Aids vaccine to go through the final phase of a clinical trial is expected to finish within days so that the findings can be made public early in the new year.
Let’s all hope they find some very encouraging resutls in the data.
Don Francis, the president of Vaxgen, said that even a 30 per cent reduction in infection rates would be deemed an important step forward because some epidemiologists believe that such a partially effective vaccine could eventually curb the epidemic if it were used for mass vaccination.
Yes, the same Don Francis who worked for the CDC in the early days of AIDS research. With Dr. Francis at the helm I bet they will get something done.
