Homeland Security Declares War on Flesh-Eating Bacteria
by: Ethan A. Huff
This article mainly focuses on the growing population of flesh-eating bacteria. The flesh-eating bacteria are known as Necrotizing fasciitis, they live on the tissue that us located right under the skin and separate the soft tissues such as muscle and fat. It is most common to attack arms and legs. Enrique Milla was a sixty-five years old man who had a penile implant surgery. The careless act of Dr. Laurentiu Boeru, who was his anesthesiologist he was diagnosed with the flesh-eating disease and had to amputate his penis. Department of Homeland Security (DSA) are starting to take extra precaution to prevent the flesh-eating bacteria to enter the US and leave the US. Anyone known for harboring flesh-eating bacteria will immediately be arrested. The TSA will start swapping travellers to make sure they don’t have the flesh eating bacteria one them, but this is in process and has not been approved yet as it would be time consuming.
I agree that flesh-eating bacteria should be carefully monitored because they are very deadly. A single strand of flesh-eating bacteria can cause a massive loss for the patient. They will either have to amputate a part of their body or possible die. By the DSA taking extra precaution towards they are doing a great job. This increases the process of coming up with a more efficient cure to this disease. I am not very fond of the TSA stripping you down to swipe your skin. It will violate the rights of humans. This will cause a lot of travellers to be very unhappy.
This will effect me as a citizen because I visit the United States of America often and I will not appreciate having them strip me down naked to swipe me with a cloth. I believe it violates my human rights. This is unnecessary and it will upset me. Also everyone is prone to get effected by this disease so this disease equally endangers everyone.
This idea can be improved by bringing more awareness to this disease. Also find a cure to this disease that does not involve amputating or death. Back in the days cancer resulted in amputating, but now a days there are medications and cures to cancer that does not necessarily involve amputating so the destruction of the flesh-eating disease should be done through medication. Scientist should work faster to finding medication because the population the flesh-eating bacteria are increasing rapidly.

HIV Vaccine Trial Approved by FDA
The FDA has approved a possible HIV vaccination that will help millions of people. This research was conducted at Western's Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry by Yong Kang, who is a professor and researcher there. This research included using live HIV viruses to be tested with. Finally the FDA approved it and this vaccination has three phases before it can be used publicly. He will do a human lab test with patients who have been diagnosed with HIV. From the lab test done before it is proven that it can strengthen your immune system. Phase one includes 30 HIV positive patients to be retested. Phase two testing the immune system response of 600 HIV negative patients. Phase three is when the vaccine’s efficiency determined and this will phase will need six-thousand HIV negative patients who are also at high risk of getting it.
I feel that testing this vaccination on people who are HIV positive will be point less because this vaccination is supposed to prevent HIV from entering the human body. They can be used to analyze the effect of HIV, which they already did to make the vaccination. Although I do agree with using HIV negative people to test on because this will allow them to observe the immune systems reaction to the vaccination and to observe what side effects the HIV vaccination will have on humans.
The only way to improve this idea is to test the vaccination on humans, which they are already doing currently. The lab test done on human is the most efficient way to determine whether the vaccination will work or not because the vaccination is to cure human. Also by working on the HIV positive patient they will be able to see the symptoms that come alone with the vaccination
