New Untreatable Form of AIDS Virus Discovered in Los Angeles (10,000+ infected in San Francisco)

A new form of AIDS has been discovered in Los Angeles, one which is untreatable.

Reasearchers have warned of the appearance of new strains of HIV, which due to patients abusing treatment programmes, have developed into super viruses which do not react to tradtional retroviral treatment.

It is claimed by the National Institutes of Health and the University of California that these super viruses are spreading fast in San Franciso among both the heterosexual and homosexual communities.

The reasearchers blame the attitude of average Americans for the current situation, stating that people have stopped taking the disease seriously and have ceased to practice safe sex.

Also therapies with drugs are not being respected, with patients in many cases beginning treatment and suspending during its course, making the virus multi-resistant to future therapies.

The researchers also claim that tens of thousands of people living in San Francisco have the new virus and that it is the new, multi-resistant strain of the virus which is passed on.

Given that California was one of the first focal points in the worldwide AIDS epidimic, it would be logical to assume that the same phenomenon will appear elsewhere in the coming years.

Given that the HIV virus is the one of the fastest to mutate, this seems like more of a certainty than a possibility.

You won't hear Peter Jennings or CNN or anyone else mentioning this unless people start falling over in the streets.

The Lavender Mafia is very powerful in the media as well as in Congress.

Actually Pravda takes stories that are 'too hot' to handle and puts them out from foreign sources most of the time.

Romans 1:18-27
For God's wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. From the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles. Therefore God delivered them over in the cravings of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual intercourse for what is unnatural The males in the same way also left natural sexual intercourse with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and RECEIVED IN THEIR OWN PERSONS THE APPROPIATE PENALTY FOR THEIR PERVERSION.

Did you see the report on FOX a few days ago where the AIDS fund raisers had turned into sex orgies? O'Reilly's two guests on that segment got into a spat off screen and they had to call security to break them up. O'Reilly called them the two gay guys and had this amazed look on his face. Hilarious! parsy.

[Khepera]

God created AIDS as an effective treatment of homosexualiy and other undesirable activities.

[DreamWeaver]

Once again, the Sodomites have demonstrated the wisdom of the Biblical injunctions against pervereted and unnatural sexual acts.

So very, very true !

[Right Wing Professor]

While I'm not going to express satisfaction over this - I watched a close friend of my ex-wife die of untreated AIDS in the early 80's, and I wouldn't wish it on Osama Bin Laden - it's hard not to see this as a result of hubris.

First the gay community blamed the disease on Ronald Reagan, homophobia, everything but their own behavior. Then they politicized the health funding system to direct a large fraction of US research resources to the disease, all the time whining we weren't doing enough. Then, finally, when the research community came up with several new families of anti-virals, got them tested and approved in record time, and the rest of us, largely uncomplainingly, paid through our insurance for these drugs to be doled out to AIDS patients, they took them as a license to go back to the massively promiscuous, unsafe sexual practices that were the real cause of the epidemic in the first place.

As with any drug, resistant strains are going to emerge, but what better way to ensure they emerge quickly than by intermittent treatment combined with behavior designed to spread the pathogen?

Since this time around it's unlikely anyone is going to catch the plague without real effort on his or her part - the blood supply is now safe - I'm afraid the predominant reaction to this second 'plague' will be that it should run its course.

[skeeter]

Quarrantine.

"Quarantine" to the leftwing ninnies who run CA means locking up the entire straight, non-IV drug using population (those lacking a civil rights exemption, of course.)

[orrick]

The 'Lavender Mafia' must be working overtime to keep this one underground!

I can just see the outrage at FOX News now, 'how can they report such a bigoted homophobic study!' (while never mentioning its true)

[elcaudillo]

Since this new strain has manifested itself on the left coast, perhaps all practicing homosexuals could be rounded up and quarantined in California.

After all, it's for their own good.

[Tacis]

My god, we must do everything in our power to save the precious fairies!!! Maybe, later.

It just seems ti me that this is one of those problems that will solve itself and go away. What is the big deal? Is there any science that might facilitate the mutation?

[Khepera]

Yes it could be their city (state) of refuge.

[orrick]

According to the report, it is already spreading to the San Francisco heterosexual community (meaning the unsusecting wives of frequenters of local hookers and drug users)

[orrick]

I wonder what the excuse of the left wing is going to be this time for the 'second wave' epidemic..

Probably blaming the health care system for not providing free AIDS drugs for IV users!

Untreatable? Nonsense! Just fork over several more mega-billions of taxpayer monies to devise new and improved AIDS cocktails so that the gay-lifestylers can get back to their devil-may-care sexual practices.

The best thing of all is, because homosexual behaviors--like all perverse sexual behaviors--by liberterian definition harm no one but the persons who engage in them, this won't cost the rest of us a penny!

I know . . . I know. There seems to be a logical disconnect between the assertion that we need only to fork over mega-billions more in taxapayer monies to devise new treatments, and the assertion that this won't cost us a penny, but libertarians assure me this is true.

When it comes to perverse sexual practices, there is such thing as a free lunch.

At least in libertarian la la land, there is.

rounded up and quarantined in California

Better yet....Thermonuclear Sterilization

[Paul Atreides]

Yep, that's something to be proud of.

[orrick]

Exactly! More AIDS cocktail funding-it is the evil GOP who caused this by not giving more money to reasearch... forget those Al Qaeda in the shipping containers of our ports with machine guns.
