Bush is pushing for Congress to spend 50 Billion on AIDS in other countries That's a hell of a lot of money. I'm curious to know if anyone here will say something like "this is a good thing Bush is doing." Also, if you are in favor of redistributing Americans' money to sick Africans, I'm also curious what your position is on supposed "overpopulation."
Just to make things more interesting, did you know how all these people who are diagnosed with AIDs got diagnosed? It was not with a blood test. The WHO came up with a list of symptoms - coughing, feeling weak, cold symptoms - stuff like that. In other words, if you're sick, have the shits, have a cold or flu, you get diagnosed as having AIDS. It would cost too much to actually test all those people.
Here are some results presented in medical journals when they went and actually spot checked "AIDS patients."
227 patients with AIDS: 59% test HIV-negative. Lancet
122 patients with AIDS: 69% test HIV-negative, American Rev. Resp. Diseases.
913 patients with Aids: 71% test HIV-negative. Journal of AIDS
There are also stories about people using the drugs used to treat AIDS, mixing them with marijuana to get high.
What a mess. |
