Gov't MD Doctored AIDS Drug Study

AIDS is possibly the biggest medical crisis the world has ever known, yet the Dr. involved in this story, changed, hid information and rewrote a safety report to change its conclusion. He should lose his medical liscence and be criminally charged.

(AP) The government's chief of AIDS research rewrote a safety report on a U.S.-funded drug study to change its conclusions and delete negative information. Later, he ordered the research resumed over the objections of his staff, documents show.

Dr. Edmund Tramont, chief of the National Institutes of Health's AIDS Division, took responsibility for both decisions. He cited his four decades of medical experience and argued that Africans in the midst of an AIDS crisis deserved some leniency in meeting U.S. safety standards, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Associated Press.

He trusted his own arrogence knew more than what the reports were telling him. People trusted him and followed his advice, I wonder how many deaths can directly be attributed to him? The world needs correct information on AIDS, some countries are facing genocide because of it, and Dr.'s like this do not help the situation!

Doubled edged sword here - do the testing and delay the treatment and let them potentially die or try what seems to work and pick up the pieces later....
