Perhaps Magic Johnson could shed some light on this...
Indeed!
Beat me to it ;-)
He was my first thought since I saw him on some ad this morning and thought that he looks pretty good for a man who was found to be HIV positive about 15 years ago.
Why was this article in a major British newspaper exposing the AIDS scandal moved to Gen/Chat? This is a conservative issue, as evidenced by the fact that it has been favorably covered by National Review, Policy Review, American Spectator, Reason Magazine, World Magazine, Concerned Women for America, etc, etc. What gives???
See the “Conservative Press” section of my profile page for more.
This way they, the left liberal loons, get to feel good about themselves.
How you may say? Because they get to say to the poor, vote for us, because we fight for your rights to abort your children (eugenics) and we fight for your rights to kill yourself (keep healthcare costs down) and we fight for your welfare checks (we have to keep the poor poor, or we lose votes for socialist policies and lose support for atheism).
Nor do they want AIDS to end. Not only has it become a tenet of the liberal religion, it has netted them billions of dollars courtesy of the American taxpayer. But apparently the mods don’t consider this post to be worthy of News, since they banished it to Gen/Chat.
In the world of political correctness someone has to say the obvious -
i.e. the same questioning logic applies to the anthropogenic CO2 ruse - association does not mean unilateral cause.
But the Left is, by definition, the world of reactionary bigots.
I have hit the abuse button, I have replied to admin moderator, and all I get is silence. The mod that used to banish all my Creation/ID posts to Gen/Chat wouldn’t respond to me either.
There is no big mystery here. Americans were dying of AIDS until big pharma dived into the problem. There have been about a dozen effective medications developed for HIV in the last 20 years. Most people diagnosed with HIV can have their viral loads lowered to near zero with a coctail of drugs and remain that way for decades.
I worked at a tertiary medical center towards the end of the AIDS epidemic. We had dozens of very sick people hospitalized waiting to die. As the meds came on line, people on deaths door started leaving the hospital through the front door rather than the morgue. Eventually, the AIDS wards were closed and the hospital went to an HIV out patient clinic. They don’t even have that anymore, HIV is treated by private doctors outside the hospital.
Most HIV positive people walk around now with undetectable viral loads. There is talk within the infectious disease profession of developing a definition of a cure so that they can start weaning a fraction of their patients completely off meds.
In Africa, it is a completely different story. The meds are too expensive and the disease is too widespread. There are various theories about why the disease affects different demographics than in the west. The one that makes the most sense to me is that there is widespread syphylis like spirochete infections that make it much easier to transmit HIV from female to male. There is a similar association with homosexual HIV transmission and syphylis in the U.S.

==Because you’ve just become too big a pain in the @ss to deal with any more?...(Not to mention being a big stone around the neck of the freepathon)
Funny, it is you who have been identified as a pain in the @ss by the owner of FR for stalking me from thread to thread trying to get my threads banned. You have been told to knock it off by Jim Robinson himself, but you persist anyway. And if anyone is a stone around the neck of a freepathon, it is your intollerance for different points of view within the conservative movement.
concider yourself reported xcamel- you’ve done absolutely NOTHING but stalk GGG around posting insult after insult after insult to him- and you have nothign of value to add to any of GGG’s threads- ever- all you do is come here to fire off petty little insults, and it isn’t GGG who is the stone around FR’s neck- it’s you- GGG posts itneresting and thought provoking articles, and all yopu manage to contribute is childish insults and attacks while compeltely ignoring hte contents of the articles- I think I speak for a majority here who find your attitude and insults offensive and uncalled for-
You really do seem to be some kind of a legend in your own mind, don’t you.
You fronting tenor in the “boo-hoo choir” ??
Daddy, Daddy, he’s yelling at me!
