Site pages on VaxGen's AidsVax failure

Questions were raised in 1999 by Brian Deer during his Sunday Times investigation, The VaxGen Experiment, which led to federal prosecution of a senior official at the US government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Mail to this website, maintained by Brian Deer, shows that material on a VaxGen-AidsVax index here is read by significant numbers
