First Decade of Safe & Effective HIV Vaccines

Since 1984, the world has been spending, on the average, over $700 million annually in a futile effort at developing safe and effective HIV vaccines. During this period, over 25 million people have perished from the HIV/AIDS scourge, 90 per cent of them in the poor developing countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The socio-economic wreck caused by the HIV/AIDS pandemic is mind-boggling. The years of wayward search for safe and effective HIV vaccines since 1984 should have shown the world that the recipe for HIV vaccines that they have been following religiously without success should be appraised. That has not been done up till today. Instead, the entire world has persisted with the unscientific, unreasonable, bizarre, and ridiculous dogmas and established knowledge. Globally, the world has deceitfully been made to believe that these vaccines, if ever they would be developed, are at least a decade away. The author expects this book to be of immense interest to all mankind especially international Institutions/Agencies like the UN, UNAIDS and WHO, Governments and their Health Ministries/Departments, the worlds major or leading Pharmaceutical Companies, Universities/Research Institutes, leading media houses such as the CNN, the BBC, VOA, AFP and the CBS, virologists, HIV vaccine researchers and developers, medical practitioners and students, medical laboratory scientists and students, registered and student nurses, epidemiologists, ethicists, HIV-infected persons and all those that are involved or interested in HIV vaccine research and development.
