Aaaaaand buried. Meanwhile, all involved researchers either "commit suicide" or "retire entirely by their own accord".
what kinda tinfoil-wrapped crack are you smoking
We live in Republican America. Do the math.
The same kind Reagan planted in the 80s
It hasn't even passed the first phase of the clinical trial. Take off your tinfoil hat and read about the development of a cure. You don't hear a lot about the magical drug that kills 100% of HIV cells because it also kills everything else. Remember that a pistol also kills 100% of HIV cells.
Oh fuck yes! Get that shit out there asap
"We fucking killed aids" sounds like such a 2005-era 4chan thing to say.
I suppose the pool is open now.
Being the one and only company that owns something big like this means you make basically fucking zillions
Thats assuming this ends up owned by one group anyways
There's something really exciting about knowing that conditions previously deemed uncurable could become no more dangerous than measles.
Wow you're just full of hot takes aren't you?
Well in the U.S I can see that medical companies that have already patented drugs for these type of things would be opposed to this possible cure getting anywhere past the FDA, I would not think those behind a life-saving cure would be threatened in anyway because of our shitty patenting laws that would allow a company to be able to sell a cure at really high expense anyway.
It'd be a lot easier, faster, and more profitable for a company in the U.S to patent the cure formula, and just sell at a price that very few people could ever afford thus keeping people on the endless cycle of taking slightly less expensive medications to only treat the symptoms and leave it at that rather than blackmailing or directly threatening lives of people behind the possible cure itself. It would be horridly illegal to go after people directly when you can just exploit shitty patent laws legally.
Sorry, I know I've been short all day.
Are you off your meds or something what the hell are you even talking about
This seems extremely sensational for something merely passing Phase 1 trials. (Did it even pass Phase 1? The actual paper abstract describes it as a "phase 1 proof-of-concept study", implying it's a study to prove it's worth advancing to phase 1.)
Phase 1 usually doesn't say anything about effectiveness - I could get a sugar pill through Phase 1. It isn't even the final word on safety - it's basically "is it safe enough to advance to Phase 2?". The sample size is tiny - usually under a hundred people - and this one seems to have been a study of six people, low even for a Phase 1 study.
Phase 2 is where effectiveness really comes into play, and Phase 3 is where it really matters.
This literally just means that the drug in question is safe for use in healthy people, nothing about efficacy.
The fuck are you on about?
Nah, that happens but to mere HIV researchers? Nah

Just imagine how sooner we could've got this if the Reagans actually funded AIDS research.
