Some researchers are concerned that the vaccine's altered vi rus might actually promote the development of shingles. Another great worry is cancer. Viruses are a suspected cause, and another member of the herpes family, the simplex virus, is under suspicion, says Plotkin, "though proof is far from complete." Dr. Kenneth Mclntosh, a pediatrician at the Infectious Disease Laboratory of Boston's Children's Hospital, warns that before the Merck vaccine can be put to widespread use, "more years" of research are necessary to resolve such questions. Researchers also need to know how long the immunity...
...controversy that has attracted much public attention is what to do with the old Simplex Wire and Cable factory site, a 27-acre parcel of land in Cambridgeport. Because the site is the last large, undeveloped area in the city, many people from both the public and private sectors are concerned with what will be built there...
...addition to the Simplex site, other areas of Cambridge are also undergoing development. The city filled in the old East Cambridge canal, a place ripe for development, and the MBTA will soon finish its development in Harvard Square. The future aesthetics of both sites are of great concern to the city council...
Fixed sentencing "is a simplex solution to a complex problem," says Paul Young, a spokesman for the New York parole board. "Everybody's jumping on the bandwagon, but nobody's looking down the road." The lesson, however, is not quite that nothing changes, nothing works. New York could learn from the experience of California and other states. Minnesota, for instance, has immunized itself against the crime-of-the-week syndrome with its much admired Sentencing Guidelines Commission, which is independent of the legislature...
When tested in rabbits, the genetically engineered formulas proved to be able deceivers, eliciting large quantities of antibodies to hepatitis B, herpes simplex or flu. More impressive still was a study performed by a team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) showing that chimpanzees immunized with the genetically engineered hepatitis vaccine remained healthy when exposed to the disease. Paoletti got similar results when he exposed immunized mice to herpes virus, which can be fatal to rodents. Says he: "Even with ten to 20 times the lethal dose of herpes simplex, we have 100% survival...
