Aids 'bigger threat than terrorism' (Says clinton)

Bill who?

If the US opened the taps and funded every AIDS research, prevention and treatment program to come down the pike, it would not make much of a dent in the number of cases in 2005. These are large demographic trends, and they do not turn on a dime, no matter how much money is thrown at them. That is, unless somebody comes up with a cure or vaccine. But I believe those avenues are already being funded fully.

BTW, the only way the anti-viral drugs are that cheap is if the developers are not being paid for their patents. On one hand, they want people to research cures and treatments for AIDS, on the other hand, they don't want to pay people to do the work. What's wrong with this picture?

No country with a veto can provide the Sec Gen.

Thanks much. Wasn't aware of that. In this case, a truly good rule, and I would hope very difficult if not impossible to change.

He's awfully slick. He might be able to do it. He sure is spending a lot of time talking about AIDs and race, IMO. And what the United States needs to do for all the other countries in the world. I can't figure out where's he going with it.

This creep is the biggest threat to the world than Aids ever could be.

World "AIDS" figures just released show a similar epidemic of EXAGGERATION.

Globally. ..2,500 cases in Japan in over TWENTY years of CUMULATIVE reporting!

..1,100 in China, which is supposed to be "exploding" with "AIDS".

..8,400 cases in India in 20 years (far lower even then the 17,000 reported by Health ..Authorities in India).

..18,000 in the United Kingdom

..19,000 in Canada in over TWO DECADES of the so-called "epidemic"of "AIDS"!

That is 49,000 cases in Countries with a total population over 1,500,000,000 (One and a half billion) or under one per 30,612 population in over seventeen years.

AN EPIDEMIC? YES. AN EPIDEMIC OF EXAGGERATIONS!

"They did a study in Brazil and found that it was cheaper to give people the drugs than bury them when they die and pay for their last few weeks in hospital," he said.

Why do I have trouble believing this. AIDS drugs are very expensive. It's highly unlikely a Brazilian funeral costs a whole heck of a lot of money.
