I recently thought of a new theory for certain global pandemics. There have been several great world pandemics. There were two pandemics of the
illness they called Plague, in the 1300s and again in the 1600s. The other two great pandemics have been Syphilis, which started at the end of the
1400s and beginning of the 1500s, and the AIDS pandemic, which began in the late 1970s. My theoretic model involves the letter two, syphilis and
AIDS. The curious fact about both of these is that the island of Haiti (known as Hispanola in Columbus' time when syphilis began) has been
associated with the onset of both syphilis and AIDS (although the two pandemics were separated by about 485 years.) It is generally agreed by the
medical history experts that syphilis got started after Columbus' crewmen traveled with him to Hispanola, then, after returning to Europe, they got
involved in a regional war at Naples, Italy. Syphilis began spreading from Naples around 1500, and was unknown previous to that. Here is the curious
part: AIDS began 485 years later in association with groups of "bathhouse" highly-promiscuous sexual deviants who were frequenting Haiti as their
most popular vacation spot. AIDS then appeared in New York, San Francisco, Haiti (and the Congo, but that's a slightly different issue although
related indirectly) Only later did AIDS spread to other parts of the world. I think there is a common pathway for both syphilis and AIDS, involving
very-old occult practices on that island including voodoo. My model is that Haitian natives (originally Caribe Indian natives, but much later with
SIDS, negro natives of Haiti who were continuing ancient occult practices there) were using monkeys as a source of food. It is generally agreed by
experts that the precursor of the AIDS virus was a monkey virus. The model goes as follows: First, there is a very long-entrenched native custom of
eating monkey meat. Any "bugs inside the monkeys such as syphilis bacteria or pre-AIDS-virus was eaten at the same time, but the natives never
developed the serious disease because they had a native immunity to the bugs. First, the pregnant mother's antibodies protect the unborn fetus by
crossing the placenta into the fetus from the maternal circulation. Then, after birth, the infants gradually replace this "passive immunity" to
syphilis or AIDS with an "active immunity" by developing their own antibodies by eating monkey meat themselves. Thus the natives never got the
diseases. But when sailors from Europe, or vacationing Americans, went to Haiti and exposed themselves to the native virus by contacting the natives,
the visitors lacked the natural immunity to the bugs, which then unleashed severe disease effects on the visitors who lacked the native immunity to
the bugs. (As far as AIDS spreading to the Congo also early-on, that would be related only indirectly to this model. The idea there would be that
once AIDS mutated from a mostly-harmless native virus into a hugely-mutative new viral disease, the natives of Haiti and Africa who previously had
been immune to it because of eating monkey meat, now were subject to the serious disease themselves, because the new forms of the virus were so
different that previous immune antibodies no longer were effective in fighting the virus.) -This model of syphilis/AIDS makes a lot of sense to me
and personally I think it's right.
