Quote An unlikely hero has emerged in the quest to fight HIV: the cow. In a first for any animal, including humans, four cows injected with a type of HIV protein rapidly produced powerful antibodies against the virus, researchers report. Learning how to induce similar antibodies in humans may be key to a successful HIV vaccine.

I just think our ancestors where 10x smarter than us. Maybe they were just lot more advanced than us that they kept the planet intact which we are destroying in the name of 'development'.

Anyway; cows are important and at least people will start taking cows seriously. All we needed was a western scientific study to confirm that.

Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Small pox vaccination also came from the cow.
