Big bucks there. Coming up with a cure is one thing, getting it released to the public is a whole new ball game.
The HIV vaccine is a problem because of the properties of the virus, not because drug companies make money from treatments, in fact treatments fail precisely for the same reason that the vaccine is so difficult. But feel free to continue insulting scientific researchers who get paid piss poor salaries and work ultra ####ty hours to solve these kinds of problems. I was hoping you had just forgotten green text, but I guess it's just conspiracy theory.

Zero results?? Guess the hundreds of medical and surgical treatments for cancer Don't count?

As for the "how do I know?", is a PhD in molecular biology sufficient? Or perhaps ask my oncologist wife.
