> Unfortunately, the researchers will likely be dismayed as nearly all vaccines are toxic to the body thanks to the rather large amount of heavy metals present in vaccines.

Get this crap off of here. I'm surprised they didn't mention autism.

This is an ... interesting choice of article to share the news about the HIV vaccine advancing to human trials.

Right. The fact that this is getting all the way to human trails is huge - millions could be saved each year, and they're concerned about less heavy metals than you'd find in a can of tuna.

For those that don't appreciate the fear-mongering around 'genetically modified viruses'.

Unfortunately, the public perception of vaccaines as a procedure that confers total immunity against a disease is somewhat flawed. HIV, like influenza, is extremely prone to mutation. It is the main survival advantage of these bugs. Once you think you have a good grasp, they slip right through your fingers.

Disagree. People are pretty used to the notion of getting a new flu vaccine every year. Even if some hypothetical HIV vaccine required semi-annual doses, people would line up around the block for it.

Seasonal flu vaccaines are possible because the FDA has well established procedures for giving fast-track approval for this particular catagory of drugs. Normall it takes many years to gain approval for a new drug, or even an iteration of an existing drug. In addition, new HIV strains do not arrive in predictable yearly 'waves' like influenza does, new strains arise randomly within the infected population.

Please flag the article. It's a Antivaccer piece.
