Back in 1984, Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler announced a vaccine for AIDS "will be ready for testing within two years." Today there's no AIDS vaccine approval in sight. Now with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) it's the same silliness. But the new tools of biotechnology do bring hope of much faster vaccine development.

Maybe SARS will die out on its own, although it's hard to come up with a theory that supports that.

But it's even harder to imagine that we'll come up with a quick vaccine when we can't even come up with a quick test to determine whether the virus is present.

Maybe something can be done quicker from the antibody angle, although that may be a pipe dream, too.

If anyone on this board is counting on the FDA to expidite a cure for SARS, I have some liver oil which cures aging I want to sell you.

Yes, first it would be very nice to have a fast, reliable test.
