...not to worry. The real vaccine is safely hidden in the secret vaults of the Reagan Administration, where the disease was manufactured to wipe out undesirables.

The vaccine cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by more than 31 percent

Which translates into those so inclinced becoming infected the evening of the first day of the Folsom Street Festival rather than in the early afternoon.

This is about a great deal more than AIDS or HIV. If, in fact, a combination of external glycoproteins and internal DNA can trigger enough of an immune response to protect the immune system itself from HIV, we have implications for application in a wide spectrum of viral diseases. It may, paradoxically-seeming, actually help prevent the sort of cytokine storm that makes such diseases as influenza deadly to healthy people. Fascinating technique.

The legacy of AID’s. Reagan caused it and the great Messiah cured it.

it's the first evidence that we could have a safe and effective preventive vaccine

Most of us found a safe and effective preventive vaccine years ago. Here it is:

Don't share needles with junkies who shoot heroin
Don't have unprotected sex with a guy you just met at a bathhouse
Be in a monogamous, committed relationship with someone who hasn't done any of the above

It's amazing how few heterosexual,monogamous, non drug users contract the aids virus.

For the record; I understand that there are unfortunate instances where people are contaminated through no fault of their own, such as children who are born to IV drug users and those (such as Arhtur Ashe) who contracted the virus through a blood transfusion. These are the people who should be first in line for any vaccine.

The results: New infections occurred in 51 of the 8,197 given vaccine and in 74 of the 8,198 who received dummy shots. That worked out to a 31 percent lower risk of infection for the vaccine group.

These numbers don't seem very convincing to me, in a group just going about their usual "average-risk" behavior. There are so many variables. It's too loose. The difference could be due to so many other things.
