A New Approach to Designing the AIDS Vaccine Analysis
The article from time.com was about finding a AIDS vaccine that would finally work effectively. It explains how through many years scientist have try to create a vaccine that would cure AIDS, but all have failed. The vaccine that had been the closest to actually working was created during the year of 2007, but it still failed like all the other ones. Since 1894 scientists have tried to deal with AIDS and finding how to cure it, because it has caused many deaths to people. Laura Blue explains how scientist explain that finding a vaccine for the cure has failed because not a lot was known about the virus. It demonstrates the reason of why older vaccines have failed, they have failed because the virus would reproduce quicker than the antibodies that were fighting the virus. In order for these scientists who are working in future to create an effective vaccine for AIDS. It shows how now there may be a possibility of sicentist creating a vaccine that can cure AIDS because there is now more knowledge about the virus and the immune system that the virus attacks.
