I was reading this article from a magazine (wish I could remember which one) which compared the progress of finding a HIV vaccine or cure to the development of fuel efficient cars. Essentially it talked about how the big oil companies pressed the government to can technology discovered 50 or so years ago which made cars more fuel efficient just for the sake of keeping the oil companies profitable and that the same thing is happening to discoveries made for the advancement of HIV cures/vaccines. The author believes that the pharmaceutical companies do not want a find a cure or vaccine since they are making a huge profit off of selling treatment medication. Particularly since they are able to sell their medication to someone who is positive for remaining of that person's life.
I wish I could remember where the article came to provide more details. I've thought about in the past but this article shed some new conspiracy light. I would hate to think this actually is a good possibility but who knows. I don't think there is cure or vaccine discovered yet. However, I do believe that there is a possibility that pharmaceuticals are intentionally focusing more on treatments than a cure/vaccine. What do you guys think?
