摘要:
A veteran journalist dramatizes the controversial search for an AIDS vaccine-the players, the politics, the money-in a vivid, suspenseful story that reveals how science is done and not done, in America today. A journalist who has written widely about medical research, Thomas recounts how the search for an AIDS vaccine has taken a back seat to the search by major pharmaceutical companies for expensive drugs to kill the virus. She found social attitudes towards the disease, careerism and timidity among bureaucrats, and corporate anxieties about profits and liability to be primary roadblocks to research.
