Hopeful News for a change

You've probably seen this already, but I hadn't, so here goes:

Researchers at Rutgers University have developed a trio of drugs they believe can destroy HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, according to a published report.

The drugs, called DAPYs, mimic the virus by changing shape, which enables them to interfere with the way HIV attacks the immune system.

Tests conducted in conjunction with Johnson and Johnson have shown the drug to be easily absorbed with minimal side effects. It also can be taken in one pill, in contrast to the drug cocktails currently taken by many AIDS patients.

I can see a whole set of social impacts here and some really interesting implementations that would help combat the genetic drift issue with the flu virus.

That's extremely good news. But Dawn and Norma insist that the only way to stop AIDS is to expose the Communist Conspiracy behind it. And the Communists are working on an even deadlier disease to kill off Lesbians. "The Two Isms: Lesbianism vs. Communism"....
