Bill Clinton was back on CNN on World AIDS Day being portrayed as an expert on how to stop AIDS. It shows how the media will not let any of Clinton's sex scandals interfere with his public rehabilitation. The Clinton answer, which is quite unique, is to use an international airline tax to buy more anti-AIDS drugs of dubious value.
The U.N.-backed Unitaid agency is using the proceeds from a global airline tax to pay the Clinton Foundation to buy and distribute the drugs. They don't tell you that the drugs are toxic and can kill, or that they may cause the AIDS virus to mutate, making the disease even more deadly. In other words, it's not an issue that the Clinton plan could make the problem worse.
One of the key players in this scheme is Ira Magaziner, who was Hillary Clinton's point man when she tried to foist socialized medicine on the American people in the first Clinton term. Magaziner is running the Clinton Foundation's anti-AIDS program and helping Unitaid manage the spending of global tax revenue. So far, the international airline tax has not been implemented by the U.S. But the new Democratic Congress may see this as something viable.
If all of this is new to you, consider yourself a victim of a media that refuses to tell the truth about political exploitation of a disease that, so far, has taken over $200 billion in federal revenue from U.S. taxpayers. Meanwhile, diseases that affect far more people, like Alzheimers and heart disease, get far fewer federal dollars for research, development and treatment purposes.
If you have AIDS, you are taken care of through the Ryan White Act, a massive federal program named after an innocent victim of AIDS. . ..

Has anyone ever audited this Clinton Foundation? It sounds like another "Oil-for-Food" scam.
fyi
Memo to Bill: I know! Advise them to keep it zipped and in their pants! oh, wait.....
Cigars are seldom HIV positive.
Bill might be an expert in STD's, but not how to stop them.
They'll do that as soon as they get done with another assignment:
As far as the US and AIDS? Bush has already given billions of taxpayer money away. Like so many others in government he has no idea what the value of a dollar is. What's the surprise in that? He made all his dough off the taxpayer on the Texas stadium deal. And his family has been racking in the bucks because of "public service" for years. It's a great gig if you can get it.
Last I heard bubba was advising African men to get circumcized.
I kid you not! Evidently circumsized men do not contract AIDS at the same high rate as uncircumcized men.
Anyone think Africans are lined up to get the cut.
Bookmark for later- disgusted with socialists- priniting.
Did he mention that even a BJ could pass on Aids?
Maybe Monica prefers them that way?
He is probaly an expert on how to spread AIDS!
The Clinton answer, which is quite unique, is to use an international airline tax to buy more anti-AIDS drugs of dubious value.
WHAT?????
And Bill is a multimillionaire now. He can use some of his own damn money to combat AIDS!
Now THATT-T-T-T-T-T-T's.... really funny
Safe cigars.
But most libs only feel good if they're spending someone else's money on charity.
Say what you want to about the pc-ness, etc., etc. of HIV/AIDS, but the drugs work. They have turned the disease into a chronic one from one in which death was swift. And, yes...resistance does emerge, but that's the way it is for the great majority of infectious diseases.
He should stick to writing about stuff he knows about.
Perhaps he was thinking of nevirapine. According to the Washington Post:
Weeks before President Bush announced a plan to protect African babies from AIDS, top U.S. health officials were warned that research on the key drug was flawed and may have underreported thousands of severe reactions, including deaths, government documents show.
The 2002 warnings about the drug, nevirapine, were serious enough to suspend testing for more than a year, let Uganda's government know of the dangers and prompt the drug's maker to pull its request for permission to use the medicine to protect newborns in the United States.
Of course, I don't know that's what he was thinking of.
