MIZZOU is curing cancer

Eh, we cured aids



No you didn't. A doctor at UMC administered a treatment as prescribed by a researcher at Johns Hopkins. The UMC doctor did nothing more then act as a go between. But of course, go ahead and beat your chest.

actually the real work in this 'cure' was put in the the UAB CFAR (Center for Aids Research), which invented the modern Aids treatments that reduce virus load in the blood to undetectable and untransmitable levels. All that was done in the case of the baby was to flood the system with massive doses of these drugs early on before the virus could set up dormancy in the memory t-cells, where the treatments cant reach. Its just a mild extension of the current treatments. There is a ton of work going on with cancer drugs that seem to reactivate the dormant viruses, which allows the drug cocktail to reach them.
