Did you read the article?

“This has prompted many people to blame the victims in ways that played on the worst racial stereotypes and prejudices: Researchers and experts argued that “Africans were simply incapable of being anything but promiscuous where sex was concerned.”

They were wrong: The AIDS epidemic in Africa was not because of a unique African promiscuity. In some ways, it is the product of efforts to reduce the number of Africans.

In his book Population Control: Real Costs, Illusory Benefits, Steven Mosher tells readers about the work of researchers David Gisselquist and Stephen Potterat. Prior to their work, it had been assumed that the AIDS epidemic had been spread by heterosexual sex.

Assumed because there was little evidence that this was the case. But, as Mosher points out, it was an assumption that suited the needs of various influential parties: most obviously, AIDS activists.

Another such group was population controllers who believed that Africa was “overpopulated.” A heterosexually spread epidemic would allow them to flood the continent with condoms. While Africans might not have used them for birth control, surely they would use them to prevent the spread of a potentially lethal virus!

Gisselquist and Potterat put the heterosexual transmission assumption to the test and found it wanting. Their peer-reviewed analysis of 22 studies found that instead of 90 percent of African AIDS cases being the result of sexual transmission, as was assumed, the real number was 25 to 35 percent. By way of comparison, the U.S. percentage is well over 50.”

I’d say something smells rotten in Africa, but the smell is emanating from Western AIDS ACTIVISTS.

Yeah. Read the whole thing.

The "helper gene" discovery is the only thing that's important ~ it means that vectors thought to be impossible, are actually quite probable in Africa.

Whereas it might take a million viral bodies to successfully implement a non-nilotic person, it might take as little as 1 viral body to do the job in a person of the groups with the gene.

Wouldn't matter what their behavior was, how needles are handled, etc. Just means that they're going to get AIDS and nothing can be done about it.

The population reduction fanatics will be satisfied with the outcome. Then the Chinese can recolonize Africa.
