Government warns of Fake
HIV/Aids Drugs

The National Drug Authority yesterday warned that
counterfeit antiretroviral drugs – used to manage HIV
infections – could find their way into the Ugandan
market. NDA Executive Secretary Gordon Sematiko
said in a public statement that the World Health
Organisation had found counterfeit Zidolam-N drugs on
the Kenyan market.
The head of drug inspection at NDA, Mr Kate Kikule,
said the authority was concerned about the possibility of
fake Zidolam-N drugs being smuggled into Uganda.
“We have surveyed and found out that these fake drugs
are not yet here but we want to alert patients to be
vigilant,” Ms Kikule said.
Zidolam-N is one of the approved anti-retroviral drugs
used in Uganda and NDA has urged people living with
HIV/Aids and those who dispense the drug to be
vigilant and avoid the counterfeit. The counterfeit
Zidolam-N tablets have a reference to “batch number
E100766”, a manufacturing date of November 2010 and
an expiry date of October 2013, NDA said in a
statement.
However, the permanent secretary in the Ministry of
Health, Dr Asuman Lukwago, said it would be hard for
the fake drugs to enter the country because of the
“systematic procurement and administering” of
antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). “If it were Panadols, the
patient would be at a higher risk of using a fake drug.
But patients on ARVs cannot just go to the drug shop to
buy medicine,” he said. “[The ARVs] are administered
in the clinics and hospitals and we know our suppliers.”
Dr Lukwago said 60 per cent of the ARVs are bought
from India, 30 per cent from Europe and the rest from
different parts of the world.
He warned that people living with HIV/Aids who took
counterfeit antiretroviral drugs could suffer diminished
immunity or develop resistance to the genuine drugs.
“The outcome would not be the best because the
patient would not be getting the required
ingredients from the medicine,” he said.

AIDS Vaccine Coming Soon --
Experimental Vaccine Led to
Censored Deaths
By Anthony Gucciardi

Scientists are hailing a new discovery in the field of AIDS
research that may lead to the development of an AIDS
vaccine. The discovery, revolving around the elimination
of a cholesterol membrane surrounding the virus, emerged
from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,
Maryland. However, the past of the AIDS vaccine is
something that few scientists want to discuss. The
controversial trials of experimental AIDS vaccines that led
to the loss of innocent lives have been ignored by
mainstream scientists and reporters. Even the scientists
responsible for the deaths covered up the situation, failing
to report the fatalities of their trials in order to prevent the
public from finding out.
Scientists: HIV Vaccine Increases HIV Risk
The censorship regarding the horribly unsafe nature of the
AIDS vaccine is so extreme that it took scientific
whistleblowers to warn South Africans against
participating in the vaccine trails, citing the fact that the
vaccine actually increases the probability that the recipient
develops HIV. The report was published in the
Washington Post in 2007, after the trials were shut down
after scientists claimed they were ineffective and needed
more research. The whistleblowers state, however, that
they were forced to stop due to an increase in HIV
infection following the vaccine.
Interestingly enough, the AIDS vaccine in question is
developed by Merck, creator of the Gardasil shot which
has been linked to over 49 deaths and countless
hospitalizations. The Gardasil shot, of course, may soon be
forced upon young girls and boys thanks to legislators who
were paid by Merck to pass a bill making the shot
mandatory.
Vaccine risks are oftentimes covered up by mega
corporations such as Merck in order to make a profit and
avoid public scrutiny. It’s time to make vaccine
manufacturers answer for their misdeeds through peaceful
activism, as they have been granted legal immunity from
all lawsuits — valid or not. Join the Vaccine Information
Week movement and demand change within the vaccine
industry.
