AIDS treatment comes immediately to mind.

Don't get me going on AIDS.

I happen to be from the Duesberg school. AIDS is caused by hard drug use and the multiple viral and bacterial infections that naturally come with unprotected anal sex. The drugs eat away at your immune system and that allows one of the viruses eventually drags you down and kills you. Look back at the 25 years or so of the "AIDS pandemic" and you will see that this theory fits the facts and explains why drug users and gays (who are very big drug users) are really the only people dying of AIDS.

The HIV virus is not the cause of AIDS. If it was, we would all be dead by now. Assuming I'm right and I am, the cost of AIDS to society has been inflated by a factor of 100 or so just to fund the studies required to support a false hypothesis (HIV=AIDS) and to try to develop a vaccine to cure the problem. They are failing at this and they will fail forever because AIDS isn't caused by a virus.

So your example is not a good one.

Your #37 responds to my #31 which responds to your #27 to someone else. The question you posed at #27 was as to examples of how social liberalism costs taxpayers many dollars. My #31 said AIDS (certainly not a result of social conservatism but of the socially liberal fad of turning homosexual or other anal sex from the lust that dared not speak its name to the lust that simply will not shut up). Your #37 then gave a discourse as to how it was "unprotected anal sex" an the attendant viruses and bacteria, coupled with depressed immunity among drug abusers that causes AIDS and not HIV that causes AIDS. Where did I disagree? I never mentioned HIV.

I don't claim expertise in science or medicine and your theory sounds fine to me. Why is my example not a good one? Certainly taxpayers are paying the freight for most AIDS patients. Where do you disagree?
