I would be very curious to know if the team received any kind of pressure to stop what they're doing or if they will communicate if such thing would happen. Don't want to sound cynical, I just watched a lot on the subject recently and it seems there's a huge industry behind having a lot more benefits (material ones) from the actual sick people and their life-long expensive treatments compared to a vaccine.
Even if it doesn't work God bless to you all for trying this. It's a wonderful thing to get you up in the morning.
- naveenspark 13y agoThank you for the kind words and support! We are very focused on our stated goal which is ending HIV/AIDS with a free vaccine. We haven't received any pressure to stop our work yet. If we do we will definitely let you know so we can get your help in fighting back!
- limpon 13y agoI've heard lots of people speculating that the big pharma companies would be better of if there would always be HIV and they can sell their ART pills for live. But on the other hand if one of them is the first one to create a HIV immunization, this alone will make them so extremely rich. An effective HIV immunization will become standard immunization for all people in the western world and the WHO and UN will take all in their power to immunize as many people worldwide as possible. Just imagine the amount of doses that will have to be produced. And you would be the only one company having this product. This has way more financial gain that being one of the dozens of companies that produce ART therapies. On top of that a few people working in high positions of big pharma companies are still "nice" people who would actually be proud of curing a disease. Not everyone just counts their dollars every day and hopes that more people get sick.
- ciokan 13y agoyes but op website says they will release it for free, thats why i'm asking in the first place.
