    BBC News - Cuba

    Cuban scientists have given details of a new vaccine against a bacterium which causes meningitis and pneumonia.
    It is made using a novel synthetic technology, and the scientists hope it will be cheaper than existing vaccines against Haemophilus influenzae or Hib.

    But doubts remain over how effective it is and how much it will cost.

    Hib is certainly an important bug - the World Health Organisation estimates it kills between 5-700,000 children each year from pneumonia and meningitis.

    thats because they focus more on preventative medicine. This isn&#39;t as profitable for capitalist economies, despite its sucess, so only about 5% of our system is centered around it.

    If they export it, others can enjoy it too and would be good for cuban economies.

    It&#39;d be great if Cuba developed an AIDS vaccine...

    I&#39;m surprised that it was even reported in a cappie country. Yet agin Cuba has shown the west how well its doing, which is a hell of a lot better than them&#33;

    on some points it does, on others it sucks

    they have great doctors, free medical care, etc. but, they don&#39;t have the materials to put this in practice

    f.e. someone i have contact with from an aid-cuba organisation went to a hospital in cuba asking how many stethoscopes they had, they said, we have 20 doctos and 0 stetoscopes, at these points their medical system is crap

    thats why i&#39;m sendig a stethoscope :P

    It is rediculous that they dont have stetoscopes, it shows the inhumane lenghts america will go to to break Cuba, there solidarity is fantastic.

    I belive they give more aid to third world countires than any first world country.

    I tell you something.

    For years that at the UN the majority of the represented countries want to take the economic embargo from Cuba and year after year just a few remain, USA and Israel.

    If Cuba has a new vacine I would not share it at all. At least and somehow I would do everything possible to avoid USA and Israel to have it.

    What the fuck is going on. Everyone saying, great..great...Cuba has found the Vacine, like they did a good to the world, what did the world for cuba.
    I would keep the secret if I would be in the position of Cuba and I would say now fuck the world. :angry: :angry:
