The following quote attributed to Lynn E Taylor, MD FIDSA FAASLD FAACP; Etai T Bally; and Zachary Burns, DO, MPH: "If science delivers on a cure for HIV, it will be precisely because of novel research methods -- not because of revelations born of the same animal models that have thus far proven inadequate." The quote appeared in a paper published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases (doi: 10.1093/infdis/jiag186). On the right, a photo of a macaque perched in a tree.
In response to criticism of the CDC's decision to end its in-house experiments on non-human primates, Drs. Lynn Taylor & Zach Burns, along w Etai Bally, penned a powerful letter outlining the many reasons the agency's choice was a good one.
