Apparently i’ve been living under a rock becuase I had absolutely no clue that a vaccine was even being made, let alone that it had entered a trial on humans. On monday South Arica launched a trial of an AIDS vaccine that was developed by its own researchers. The South African vaccine was developed at the University of Cape Town and targets the specific HIV strain that has affected a huge part of the population in South Africa. It is also undergoing safety tests at a trial involving 12 volunteers in Boston that began earlier this year.

Though this advance does seem extraordinary to me, i’ve ust learned that it isn’t the first time that a vaccine has made its way through South Africa. South Africa was the site of the biggest setback to AIDS vaccine research, when the most promising vaccine ever, produced by Merck & Co., was tested there in 2007. Researchers found that people who got the vaccine were more likely to contract HIV than those who did not. That news is quite bizzare and also ecuse that persons crazy finger nail below the vial, I guess they were searching for old corn earlier..yuck

This isn’t a joke and actually I’m not so suprised. The FDA is warning consumers not to buy two types of energy drinks that come packaged in test tube like vials, saying that utility knife blades were found in two vials.

Hardcore Energize Bullet Drink & New Whey liquid products are the culprits and both have been recalled. HMMM… Hardcore Energize Bullet Drink??? I’m not trying to say it was necessary that this happened, but with a fucking name like that maybe someone thought that a blade would add to the brands believability???….Finding a utility knife blade in my drink would be pretty damn hardcore and would certainly scare the shit out of me energize me, but whatever the case is, I don’t fuck with energy drinks anyhow. They make some people look like robots on crack and I deal with my fair share of crack addicted robots already, so I’m good.

No one has been injured by the armed energy drink (gimme one bad joke people) but the FDA is warning consumers to not purchase them….and I’m telling you to not fuck with energy drinks and have an all natural weed refreshment….maybe something of the herbal family because you probably won’t find a blade just hanging out in your stash.

All consumers might want to stop using Zicam Nasal Gel and related products because according to the FDA it can be potentially very harmful to your sense of smell. By potentially very harmful we mean they think it can permanently fuck with with your sense of smell. The over-the-counter products contain zinc, an ingredient scientists say may damage nerves in the nose needed for smell.

The FDA is actually claiming that about 130 people have come forward reporting a loss of smell after using Matrixx Initiatives’ Zicam products since 1999. What the fuck Matrixx….are people letting Keanu Reeves manufacture nasal gel theses days, we know his career is hurting because of shit like lake house doing great and all but everyone has side jobs these days???

“Loss of the sense of smell is potentially life threatening and may be permanent,” said Dr. Charles Lee, of FDA’s compliance division. “People without the sense of smell may not be able to detect dangerous life situations, such as gas leaks or something burning in the house.”

Apparently Matrixx, the people who make Zicam have settled hundreds of lawsuits related to the use of its products in recent years but after looking on their site today they are still clearly telling consumers otherwise because this was posted on their site “No plaintiff has ever won a court case, because there is no known causal link between the use of Zicam Cold Remedy nasal gel and impairment of smell.” OK sure no one has actually “won a case” because you settle before they make it to trial…..Keanu Reeves is apparently making their statements as well because only Keanu would be puzzled by the task of thinking of a better way to form that lie….

This is really the reason that I dont fuck with any type of chemicals people!!! Our bodies are not made for crazy ass nasal gels…pack a bowl, toke away and your nose wont fucking run anymore…THE END
