NIH AIDS research chief Dr Edmund Tramont testifies in a whistleblower case that drug companies lack incentive to develop an HIV vaccine and may wait for government production to profit. He says government must drive vaccine development and predicts eventual government produced vaccine. PARMA counters his view stressing ongoing industry R and D. Tramont notes vaccine challenges and past candidate failures amid high investment and global effort.
