a possible cure for AIDS and herpes, and influenza. i have a hard time believing this is true. i also have a feeling this drug could start wars. the research was paid for and the patents held by a US pharmaceutical company. if it does everything it has the potential to do, withholding it from people who can't afford to pay for it seems like murder.

as Grandma says, "we're getting too smart. these are the end times."
