AIDS Can Fight AIDS

dptalia writes "Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have announced that they have engineered a strain of the AIDS virus that fights AIDS. This strain of AIDS works like a vaccine and improved the immune system of the test subjects. After three years on this new therapy, no side effects have been observed."

Two Wrongs

So does this mean that two wrongs DO make a right?

There can only be one! (AIDS virus)

So after the AIDS....

[UniverseIsADoughnut]

So after the AIDS kills the AIDS, then they send something in to kill the AIDS that kills the AIDS....

So at what point does a Cow get sent in to go after the chicken.

don't cross the streams

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have announced that they have engineered a strain of the AIDS virus that fights AIDS.

Well, whatever you do, don't cross the streams. You're sure to get human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

People can fight people

[Bushido Hacks]

It's only a matter of time before one of the AIDS strains invades the other AIDS strains on suspicions of building protiens of mass cell destruction.

Yeah, but the idea is not patentable, since Congress has prior art.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

cure == disease?

It needs to be inexpensive, easy to administer, and something that only needs to be administered once.

A bullet?

Jeesh...... It's not the FDA but the lawyers that have PUT the FDA in such a position of liabilty. Whats needs reform is the legal system in this country that is not driven by greed. how the world works lately... If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he sues the restaurant. If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family sues the tobacco company. If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he sues the bartender. If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you sue producers of a video games. If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you sue the gun manufacturer. And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased sues the airline. I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So, if I die while parked in front of this computer, I want you all on my behalf to sue Bill Gates...

So you believe in a Deity that condemns people to eternal suffering because they told one shitty bad taste joke? Fucking hardcore.

Sure because "Virus Immunodeficiency Human" really implies that it does the opposite of "Human Immunodeficiency Virus".

Exactly! Imagine the fun spreading it around.

"But doctor!"

"It's ok, ma'am. This is a medical procedure."

"Oh, ok."
