Abstract:
The Nigerian government is butting heads with Dr. Jeremiah Abalaka over Abalaka\'s AIDS vaccine, with the government taking the latest hit. Abalaka claims to have successfully produced a vaccine that can reduce or cure HIV. The vaccine has been administered to infected people, with adverse results, the government claims. According to a report in Nigeria\'s Post Express newspaper (\"Nigeria: Why We Stopped Use of the Vaccines-Atiku\", Post Express (Lagos) July 25, 2000, by Obiorah Ifo), the country\'s vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said the government has stepped in to stop Abalaka from administering the vaccine \"because it has killed more people than it has cured\". The newspaper quoted him saying that it was only in Nigeria that \"somebody can go and manufacture vaccine without permission and authorization of the drug administration of the country before he can begin to administer it on Nigerians\". Then on July 31, 2000, the Federal Court of Appeal backed Abalaka and ordered that the government stop investigating the vaccine. \"The court, presided over by Justice Muntaka Coomassie, also granted an interim order restraining the defendant from taking any action on Dr. Abalaka pending the hearing of the motion on notice\", said an article in the Vanguard Daily newspaper (\"Court halts federal government over Abalaka\'s HIV vaccine\", Vanguard Daily (Lagos) July 31, 2000, by Bukola Ojeme). The government\'s primary complaint is that Abalaka reportedly would not back his claims for the vaccine with proper scientific data. A team of medical experts found \"the vaccine could not pass through any acceptable criteria\", the Post Express report said, and so the government had ordered that use of the vaccine cease. According to Abubakar, the vaccine \"has caused more havoc, it has killed people, and it will kill more. That is when the government decided to intervene. Meanwhile, the man is busy administering the vaccine and people are dying\", the Post Express quoted him as saying. Nigerian go

尼日利亚政府正在就Abalaka的艾滋病疫苗与JeremiahAbalaka博士发生冲突,政府遭受了最新的打击。Abalaka声称已经成功生产了一种可以减少或治愈HIV的疫苗。疫苗已经给感染者注射,有不利的结果,政府声称。根据尼日利亚邮政快报的报道(“尼日利亚:为什么我们停止使用疫苗-Atiku”,邮政快车(拉各斯)2000年7月25日,作者:ObiorahIfo),这个国家的副总统,AlhajiAtikuAbubakar,他说,政府已经介入阻止Abalaka接种疫苗,“因为它杀死的人比治愈的人还多”。报纸援引他的话说,只有在尼日利亚,“有人可以在没有国家药品管理局的许可和授权的情况下去生产疫苗,然后才能开始对尼日利亚人进行管理。”然后在2000年7月31日,联邦上诉法院支持Abalaka,并命令政府停止调查疫苗。“法院,由MuntakaCoomassie大法官主持,还批准了一项临时命令,禁止被告在听取通知动议之前对Abalaka博士采取任何行动。"《先锋报》上的一篇文章说(“法院停止联邦政府对Abalaka的HIV疫苗”,《先锋日报》(拉各斯)2000年7月31日,布科拉·奥杰姆)。政府的主要抱怨是,据报道,Abalaka不会以适当的科学数据支持他对疫苗的主张。一组医学专家发现“疫苗无法通过任何可接受的标准”,邮政快报报道说,所以政府下令停止使用疫苗。根据Abubakar的说法,疫苗造成了更大的破坏,它杀死了人,它会杀死更多。那是政府决定干预的时候。同时,这名男子正忙于接种疫苗,人们快死了。"《邮政快报》援引他的话说。尼日利亚人去
