A vaccine that may prevent HIV has been given the green light by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin clinical trials in humans, according to Canadian researchers.
The announcement was made on the campus of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont.
“We have gone through so many different challenges to come to this point,” said Dr. Chil-Yong Kang, a researcher and professor at Western’s Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. “This is the first time that I feel very happy and comfortable to initiate this human clinical trial.”
Uh huh. That what they thought back in the 90s when I was in grad school. Someone at Tulane thought they had a HIV vaccine too. That did not work and this one probably won’t either.
If it does work, will it become a mandatory childhood vaccination?
