Our Girls Aren't Guinea Pigs

During our second week, we read an article which was talking about the different problems of a massive vaccine inocculation.

After the discussion, it appeared that a vaccine or a drug couldn't be developped without risk because there are so many different cases of reaction. The body of every people is not the same and reacts so differently with a drug or a vaccine. The body could react if it has different drug in it. The vaccine should be test during a long time before that a pharmacy could sell it.

We discussed too about those tests and every one agreed to say that it was very difficult to test vaccins because of the very expensive protocols of those tests. It's very difficult to test it because it depands on what the government wants to know and there are so many parametres. Finaly, the difficulties are coming from that the tests take place in clinicl areas and that's not a common environment and that's not the real life.

Me and my group finished on a positive thought. We talked about a possible vaccine developpement against the HIV. Every one agreed with this possibility, in a short or in a long way, because now we can be helped by the new technologies. But the more important is to go faster than the virus and don't let it developpe itself.
