Horrifying HIV vaccine "tested" on HUMANS!!

Tweet

It's all over the news today. Scientists in Thailand have created and tested the most successful HIV vaccine to date. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/09/24/hiv.vaccine/index.html "In what is being called the world's largest HIV vaccine trial ever, researchers found that people who received a series of inoculations of a prime vaccine and booster vaccine were 31 percent less likely to get HIV, compared with those on a placebo." This comes as seemingly excellent news on the fronteir fight against HIV/AIDS.... or DOES it? My question is this. Who are they testing this vaccine on? Any high school graduate knows that vaccines are taken as a preventative measure against a certain disease. A vaccine is not a CURE for people who are already infected. In order to test this vaccine, they must first inject it into a human being... then infect that human being with HIV. This fine line of logic has been somewhat glossed over in the main stream media. Here I found an interesting tidbit of information: "Fifty-one people in the vaccine group eventually contracted HIV, compared with 74 in the placebo group." You are telling me that 100 people were intentionaly infected with HIV in order to "TEST" this vaccine??? I am ALL for HIV and AIDS research. I pray that one day they find a cure this terrible virus. But useing human beings as guinea pigs??? Am I the only one who is outraged??
