[Rev. M. Rodimer]

The scienticians at Oregon Health & Science University are plotting to unleash a Cytomegalovirus upon humanity that carries with it immunity to God's Plague on the Perverted, HIV/AIDS!

Research conducted at Oregon Health & Science University's Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) has developed a vaccine candidate in non-human primates that may eventually lead to a vaccine against Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Details of this advance are published in the advance online edition of the journal Nature. The paper will also be published in an upcoming print addition of the journal.

The research team, led by Louis Picker, M.D., associate director of the OHSU VGTI and director of the VGTI’s vaccine program, produced a vaccine candidate that programs the immune system of non-human primates to respond more swiftly to the presence of a primate version of HIV than it normally would. The team also included researchers from the National Cancer Institute-Frederick and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative.

To date, the vast majority of these animals have maintained control over the virus for more than a year, gradually losing any signs that they had ever been infected. In contrast, the macaques in the unvaccinated control group developed the monkey form of AIDS.


The researchers say that their work suggests that the immune responses elicited by this new vaccine candidate might completely clear SIV from animals that were initially infected. In comparison, antiretroviral therapy is able to control the disease, but cannot clear the virus from its hiding place within the immune systems own cells.


The VGTI team has been working for over ten years on its vaccine candidate, which is unique in using Cytomegalovirus (CMV) as the transport system used to introduce the vaccine into the body. CMV was chosen because it is believed that most people are already infected with CMV, but for the majority, the virus causes little or no symptoms. In addition, once a person is infected with CMV, this virus remains in the body for life. Picker and his team hypothesized that if such a persistent virus were used as a vector it could create and maintain resistance against HIV by programming a portion of the body’s immune system called effector memory T-cells to be constantly on the alert for the virus.

Dr. Louis Picker of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, whose study appear in the journal Nature, said he thinks it will be possible to have a vaccine ready to test in people within three years.

Tests of the vaccine with a primate version of the virus called simian immunodeficiency virus showed more than half were able to keep the virus from replicating so that even the most sensitive tests could not detect any traces of the virus.

So far, the vast majority of the vaccinated monkeys have maintained control over the virus for more than a year, gradually losing any signs that they had ever been infected.

Macaques in the unvaccinated group have since developed the monkey form of AIDS.

"We feel it has a possibility of keeping the virus under complete control or clearing the virus," Picker said.

God's Will is being thwarted!

Join with me in praying that this attempt will fail, like all others to date.

That's ridiculous. Do those ScIeNtists honestly think that they can so easily evade the wrath of the Almighty? What's next, imagining that one's choice of vehicle can stymie the Lord?

What if God is using these scientists to do some good in the world?

Dear friend:

There's nothing good about letting people think they can thumb their noses at God's will with impunity.

Romans 1:27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

More likely He's using them to confuse and befuddle.

My greatest concern is a modified version of the AIDS virus might have neurological features that sets in before the terminal size zero stage, for instance increased sexuality. People will spread the disease by raping each other, thus the virus will not spare the non-sodomite population. Most scientists agree that we would be literally piffleed if such Rape virus emerged.

Just leave the AIDS as it is designed by God.

Fine, cure AIDS.

First they cured Syphilis, and God created Gonorrhea
Then they cured Gonorrhea, and God created Herpes
Then they medicated Herpes and God created AIDS

Does anyone else see a trend here? Wonder what God's going to smack them with if they cure AIDS?
