I don't care how "rapidly" they are approaching anywhere, it's bogus
research and I'm having to pay for it.  That makes it really bad.  Why
don't you sign up for the first phase of vaccinations?  Enjoy the
bennies of being the first guy on your block to receive the wonders of
a new drug, like, let me see,  why, AZT!

Well, you have been reading about Dr Duesber!  Perth disagrees with
him and their arguments are pretty convincing.  They do both agree
that HIV doesn't cause AIDS so, this little sideshow doesn't bother me
in the least.  jb
