Lots, though they might not have killed, they definitely maimed, e.g. thalidomide. But as it was earlier stated, medicine and vaccine are in no way synonymous.

But those numbers are almost certainly very small compared to the number of people who have died because we didn't have medication or vaccines. I mean, think about it: in 2012, 1.6 million people died from AIDS. If we had a vaccine for it or a medication that could cure it, I would have gladly given it to them, even if 1,000 or so people died.
A Finnish lab, that has developed a HIV vaccine that worked really well in test animals, is starting the second phase of testing it on humans. Looks really promising!

So I'll leave this thread now, as I have said i have schzophrenia, and because of this I am becoming parodoid, as you also said I am not educated, yes I never did good at school, but I do have the sense to know what is right for me, I have said things to you that I am not proud of and I am sorry for that, yes you did get to me and I am hurt, so I will leave now, thank you.
Even though we have clashed heads in this thread, don't worry. I try my hardest to separate the discussion from the person, so even though we definitely don't see an eye to eye here, hopefully there will be another topic where we can (the art thread, perhaps? I've seen your paintings

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
