In fact, it was a vaccine trial that took Ho to China in the first place. In a way, China is an ideal place to conduct vaccine research. Because it is home to huge numbers of people who are HIV negative but at high risk of developing AIDS, Ho will be able to inoculate some of them with his vaccine and find out whether they can generate an immune response robust enough to protect them...

But according to Russell, these mistakes were not the product of an effort to circumvent University policy.
