I once read that Haiti was,for years,a favorite vacation destination for a certain type of sexual deviant living in the US.

The joys of globalism.

The next plague will make AIDS look small.

This one-world crap is going to victimize a lot of people soon, I bet.

The TB case in Mexico is just one example of the Russian roulette we’re playing these days.

I know of one person who was a well-traveled (gay) shop owner from Bermuda who probably brought it to NYC as early as 1977 - he died from the “mystery disease” back in late 1983.

I remember back in the early 80's, when most of the HIV cases were in either in the U.S. gay community or in the general population of Haiti. The going joke at the time was something like this:

Q: What's the toughest part about having AIDS?
A: Trying to convince your mother that you're Haitian.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I thought everyone already knew this!

Globalism has been around for quite some time. The Black Plague, for instance, was an import from the east. The Spanish explorers brought diseases that decimated the populations of the Americas from 1500-1600.

I recall ‘patient zero’ as being an airline steward coming back from Haiti.IIRC
That was the consensus many yrs. ago.

My microbiology professor in college (mid-eighties) used to describe the risk factors for AIDS with the 4H’s: Homosexual, Hepatitis, Haitian, and/or Hemophiliac.

I’m with you. I don’t need no steenking study. Just look at newspapers in 1980s It was the 3-H disease (Haitian, Homosexual or Hemophiliac), or the “Gay Plague”. The book “And the Band Played On” is by or about the Gay Cabin Attendant who was infected and spread it far and wide. This story says one single Haitian came to USA and therefrom is spread across the globe. Lie. It started in Africa where it is still rampant. Some think it mutated from apes or monkeys.

[null and void]

The moral of the story is don’t boink monkeys?

[BallyBill]

I remember when it was called GRID and Ronald Reagan was infecting SF and NY with it.

Turns out, Tricky Dick really started the ball rolling.

[Hoplite]

Homosexual, Hepatitis, Haitian, and/or Hemophiliac.

Oh noes!

[null and void]

Yeah. I had two friends die of it before it had a name. Thank God I’m straight.

[dbacks]

And the point of this is...??

[xcamel]

Bingo.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Yeah, I thought the jihadists believe Jewish doctors deliberately introduced the virus into the African and Moslem nations.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I knew a Lebanese who immigrated into the U.S. via Haiti about that time. He died in the late 1970’s from an undiagnosed chronic aliment. They thought it was his liver.

I’ve long suspected that he actually died of AIDs.

Apparently Ted Kennedy is responsible for the entire spread of AIDS in the USA.

[The Great RJ]

Pretty much the same conclusion reached 20 years ago in the book The Band Played On.
