Will Anyone in Their Right Mind Actually Buy Into These Three New Vaccines?

A storm has erupted over the announcement last month that an experimental AIDS vaccine tested in Thailand proved modestly effective. It was billed as a major scientific advance — the long-awaited hard evidence that it is possible to inoculate people against AIDS. But now the trial has been called into question in a way that is overblown and possibly destructive. But this isn’t the first time the efficacy and safety of a vaccine has been called into question. The government recently announced that $10 million of stimulus money would be used to fund a phase 3 clinical trial of a promising anti-smoking vaccine produced by Nabi Pharmaceuticals of Rockville, Md. However, another company working on a similar vaccine has not been so successful.
Cytos Biotechnology Ltd. said this week that a trial of its nicotine vaccine had failed to reduce smoking behaviors. The study, which is continuing, involved 200 smokers who were motivated to quit. The researchers found that the vaccine, designed to bind nicotine in the blood and prevent it from reaching the brain, was safe and well tolerated. But apparently it did not stimulate high enough levels of antibodies to produce the desired response.
The moment evidence was found that obesity may be linked to a virus, opportunistic drug company researchers dove into developing an “obesity vaccine.” Now researchers say their obesity vaccine could be ready for market in five years. Searching for genetic clues to the obesity epidemic, in the hopes of developing a vaccine against it, is not the answer.

Well if they created a vaccine that worked for ANYBODY I think thats great and is definitely a step foreward. AIDS is a pandemic so I can understand how much pressure doctors and scientists are under to find a cure for this killer. Will anyone buy these vaccines? Thats a tough one, I think some people would and some people wouldnt, just with the swine flu vaccine. I think they would need to run more tests and see how exactly safe it is. Of course you wouldnt want the vaccine to cause severe body damage.

When they have been thoroughly tested and the FDA has approved them, I'm sure a lot of people will buy them. When scientists make a breakthrough, people are overly anxious to trumpet how it will change the world. It sometimes takes years between the time a discovery is made and when it's ready for the general public.

For example, scientists discovered that THC would inhibit the growth of tumor cell cultures and tumors in mice. Immediately after, I must have heard from 20 people that "They found that marijuana cures cancer!". Other than some questionable anecdotal reports, that has no basis in fact. Studies have not yet been done on human subjects.

Why would they make a cure to aids? The government made it. And they aren't THAT hypocritical.

It is sad how much the world is comming up with all these drugs and all these cures/vaccines for viruses. When people hear about a new vaccing they all rush in to get it. I mean you see all these ad's on tv about new drugs, the kids of yesterday are all going to think that to be healthy all you need to do is take some pills. Everything in the world has a pill for it!

Who needs an AIDS vaccine when there's a patented cure?

Medical researchers patented AIDS cure in 1990

The obesity vaccine has been around for a while too. Its more common than you think.

And then they made SIV to cover their tracks, I assume? Jesus.

I'm not a scientist, but I imagine the problem with this 'cure' is in working out how to spread a 50-100uA current to every viral particle in a carrier's body.

Get your vaccine now, hurry they may run out, or make your own!
