Congress Wants Anti-Spyware Bill, No
Matter What The Details Are 07/19/2004 01:16 PM
Declan McCullough is looking at one of the anti-spyware bills that's rocketing its way through Congress so that politicians can tell their constituents that they "banned spyware" in time for the November elections. Unfortunately, like with the CAN SPAM Act, the bill they're pushing could possibly make the problem worse, not better. Even more annoying is that it sounds as though a much better anti-spyware bill has been introduced by others -- but politicians have no time to actually look at which one is better, since they need to rush this bill through before they all run home to campaign for the election. Politics at work.

Bad news about an AIDS vaccine

Bad news about an AIDS vaccine 08/27/2004 01:40 PM

A magazine article about American Indians has some rather disturbing information for folks who hope for a resolution to the AIDS epidemic via a vaccine.  Starting with the arrival of the Spanish in the late 15th century the American Indians began a steep decline in numbers due to their lack of resistance to European diseases, notably smallpox.  A vaccine for smallpox was developed in 1796 by Edward Jenner in England.  Five years later, in 1801, President Jefferson ordered the nationwide immunization of American Indians.  Yet as late as 1836-40 there was a terrible smallpox epidemic among Indians along the Missouri River, apparently sparked off by an infected riverboat passenger.

The U.S. in the early 19th century probably had better roads and communication than many African countries do in the 21st century.  So even if we had a working vaccine against all the different strains of HIV (and any future strains that might evolve) it seems that the eradication of AIDS could take many decades.
