Dr Lee added: "We need a clear set of priorities, a new set of grand challenges. The next 12 months and beyond will be an acid test of our collective moral commitment."


Our moral commitment? It is not my behavior that is causing the problem. If they want to change their behavior I will help.

The WHO report uses a simple comparison to highlight the issue: a girl born in Britain today can expect to live to 80.6 years. A girl born in Sierra Leone is unlikely to make it past her 36th birthday.

*** There is NO comparison. People live longer in Great Britain because of ample amounts of health care, food other than mealie pap, vitamins and supplements, fresh water and all that. Aside from lifestyle issues, just throwing drugs at people is not going to solve the problem. First you have to be able to read the instructions, then you certainly have to have food in your belly. These people are so blind.

AIDS Pandemic Reduces Life Expectancy In Africa By Twenty Years

---------------------

That's terrible. Does anyone know what causes the disease or how it's transmitted?

The chemical bases of the various AIDS epidemics

AIDS IN AFRICA

THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT VS. THE TRUTH

Has anyone even demonstrated the cytotoxicity of HIV to CD4's? You have to sort through hundreds of cd4s just to *find* HIV.

"If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document."

-Dr. Kary Mullis, Biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry:

"HIV is an ordinary retrovirus. There is nothing about this virus that is unique. Everything that is discovered about HIV has an analogue in other retroviruses that don't cause AIDS. HIV only contains a very small piece of genetic information. There's no way it can do all these elaborate things they say it does."

-Dr. Roger Cunningham, Immunologist, Microbiologist and Director of the Centre for Immunology at the State University of New York at Buffalo:

"AIDS is a behavioural disease. It is multifactorial, brought on by several simultaneous strains on the immune system - drugs, pharmaceutical and recreational, sexually transmitted diseases, multiple viral infections."

-Dr. Alfred Hässig, (1921-1999), former Professor of Immunology at the University of Bern, and former director Swiss Red Cross blood banks:

I don't think the WHO knows themselves.

I remember them. They did some interesting musical work thirty years ago.

[Tacis]

And, the neocommunists say that it's all Bush's fault.

Oprah did a Diane Sawyer interview last night about Africa/AIDS and barely touched upon the causes. She did mention that education is part of the problem, as I'm sure it is, but that some men believe sex with virgins is a cure.

I will assume much of it is sexually transmitted, but I want to know more specifically.

[cyborg]

LOL...

Our moral commitment? It is not my behavior that is causing the problem. If they want to change their behavior I will help.

------------------------

The primary moral commitment is not to offend or inconvenience people no matter what they do.

[cyborg]

Lifestyle choices and superstitious belief in witchdoctor will ensure the spread of AIDS imperpetuity (same goes for America too actually)

[Elliott Jackalope]

"I will assume much of it is sexually transmitted, but I want to know more specifically."

Actually, no, you don't. The details of what is happening, and the why and how of what is happening, are not the kinds of thing you really want to know about. The more you learn, the darker your spirit will become, and the deeper your dislike of humanity will become. Trust me on this one.

Another unforseen effect of the machete shortage in Britain.

[cyborg]

Here is something you didn't hear at the Mandela Beyonce AIDS lovefest in SA. Much the AIDS crisis is due to child rape, rape of younger teenage girls and the resulting babies from such rapes. Yes when one learns these facts, indeed you feel like turning into hermit and living in a cave.

"but that some men believe sex with virgins is a cure."

There are no virgins over 9 years of age there.

These people are so blind.

I think the term is "selectedly sighted"

The WHO report uses a simple comparison to highlight the issue: a girl born in Britain today can expect to live to 80.6 years. A girl born in Sierra Leone is unlikely to make it past her 36th birthday. Jong-Wook Lee, director general of the WHO, said: "These global health gaps are unacceptable"

Why must these analyses of problems always be contaminated with cultural marxism (ie: complaining about inequality rather than addressing the issue at hand)?

I suppose that this guy would be OK with things if the Western life expectancy plunged down to the level of Africa's. Then, we'd all be equal.

[cyborg]

Probably raping children who ALREADY have AIDS :-(

[Malsua]

African's need to learn about mojo/voodoo/SCIENCE.

Raping a virgin does not remove your aids.

You get the aids, you die!

Suggestion. STOP RAPING.

It won't stop though. We're talking about savages. Literally. After time, the non "virgin rapers" will live past their 25th birthday and this whole thing will begin to go away.

This is sorta like a Wall Street Market correction involving human lives. The Lives involved in it are dispassionate and ready to die for the whole virgin boinking bits. The only saving grace(/sarcasm) is the fact these same folks are just willing to die by disease rather than learning from it.
