The Origin of AIDS, 9 minutes, 2008 (Ref: 108) |

It's the country where
AIDS first appeared and it's now the biggest killer
in Burundi apart from war. But the question now
being asked is whether AIDS was a bio-medical
mistake created by Burundi's past colonial masters
50-years-ago? In the 1950's Western scientists were
attempting to wipe out polio and vaccinated more
than 1 million people in Burundi with a new vaccine.
This vaccine, which contained cells from chimpanzee
kidney, (the animal that transmits AIDS) may have
created the epidemic. And today in Burundi,
scientists are testing a new vaccine there for a
strain of AIDS that only appears in the West. Is
this morally right? |
