Given that outside of the US most of the world's population cannot even afford current medication for HIV let alone even heard of health insurance, so how would "most people" be able to pay out of the ass? Without health Ins most people in the US would not be able to pay HIV meds now. My total med bills (alone) since finding out in Feb 06' have amounted to a little over $50,000. Without HI there would be no way I could have afforded all of that. The average cost of HIV meds is about $1,100-$1,500 a month for HIV meds alone (not including all the non-hiv meds you have to take) per person. How can you honestly believe a vaccine would make more money than meds for big pharma?

Here are few things you should read up on that may open your eyes to this epidemic, our government and big pharma(mainly Merk):

No disrespect, but a lot of what you post seems like conspiracy theory. I remember during "Bigger & Blacker" Chris Rock jokingly made the same argument as you about how big companies will never come up with a cure because there was no money in it that. If that’s the case then why is every big pharmaceutical company spending in the billions to research and come up with the cure?? I can ashore you that at the least in the short run a vaccine for AID's would make a lot more money then just meds. Also look at the fact that if they do come up with a vaccine more then likely it would be short supplied anyway (such as penicillin). Even if that wasn't the case you sometimes have to realize that not everything is about money. If a company would do something such as that it would be looked down on as extremely unethical. The people who run these researches are people just like you and me, and best believe a lot of folks have all this money invested because they hope on saving themselves or a loved one. I can see people withholding a vaccine for some things, but one for AID's would be hard to withhold especially since it's something everybody seems to be looking for. Can you even imagine what the reproductions would be if someone was caught withholding a vaccine for HIV??? That would be the scandal of the century.

It was funny when Chris Rock made a joke stating they would never cure AID's, but that was a joke and nothing more
