The link that was broken had to do with "HAART" treatment, all H.I.V./ AIDS drugs are toxic to EXTREMELY TOXIC, from AZT to ddI to ddc, clean through to every single solitary drug on the chart in the link below and every one thats to come PERIOD !
AZT, ddI & ddC KILLED QUICK, the new crap just takes abit longer (MAYBE) and thats the bottom line.
I have actually held the hand of people with had no family or friends as they took their last breath & died from AIDS, you better bet.
The treaments kill and just like cancer chemo treatments that kill get chaulked uP to cancer, ditto goes for AIDS. Cancer patients were not given chemo every single day until they died, but H.I.V. positives were from the word GO.
MAGIC JOHNSON ? THE JOKE WAS---> "There is NO magic in AZT & theres "NO" AZT in Magic, Tony Fauci & David Ho were the very first to contact his personal doctor, Ho pushed AZT like a MOE FOE & magic took it and got sick as Hell, it was in the paper that he got VERY sick, a person I know contacted him through a person they both knew at Michigan State University and he told Magic what to do & what not to was painfully obvious to everyone involved. There was nothing but AZT in 91, do you think he could have played in the olympics in 92 if he were on AZT ?"

Anyway...Essex took up the research on the "so called lol" leukemic kitty retrovirus which is obviously called "Feline Leukemia Virus" (FeLV) after other researchers had already decreed that young lab cats (kittens) could become leukemic after months of continous infection with the virus. In the real world though however many, many cats catch FeLV sooner or later and their immune systems quickly & permantly neutralize the virus, due to the fact that unlike the lab cats/kittens who are for the most part inbred and sickly and immune defient already real word cats are not. Leukemia in cats is VERY rare, it strikes only about 4 in 10,000 normal healthy cats every year. Essex tried to talk smack that FeLV could even be contracted by cat owners and they could ACTUALLY CATCH LEUKEMIA "CATCH CANCER!" from their pet cats ! Thats a jOkE !
Due to media being sold on it & reporting it, many dumb-bell veternarians bought into it and then told cat owners scaring the crap out of them ! The infectious feline to human end of died off, but the crap regarding the virus causing leukemis in cats lives on. Essex founded his own biotech company (Cambridge Bioscience Corporation) >GREAT COMPANY TO ! < so he could develope & produce vaccine against the virus on the grounds of his ToP NoTcH tripe riddled research. ( Did I mention Essex tacked on a phoeny LATENT PERIOD between the time of FeLV and the cancer explosion in the cats ? HE DID ! )
One year after the vaccine was approved in 89, he sold it to just about every cat owner in France.
Those people of course had no idea (AND STILL DON"T) that cats have natural immunity against FeLV and nor do they know that vaccines DO NOT WORK AGAINST A VIRUSES THAT BECOMES LATENT AFTER TIME OF INFECTION. They also were not and are still not aware that one third of all leukemic cats were NEVER even found to actually ever been infected with FeLV.
Hello HTLV, SAYS DR.GALLO ! HE & HIS GOOD BUDDY (GOOD & CROOKED) MAX ESSEX BOTH SAY HELLO TO HTLV-III = H.I.V !
BEFORE THAT THOUGH, BEFORE FRENCHIE ISOLATED LAV=H.I.V., GALLO & ESSEX WERE GOING TO USE PRESENT GALLOS HTLV-1 TO THE WORLD AS THE AIDS VIRUS, UNTIL GALLO FOUNDOUT ABOUT FRENCHIE & HIS BRAND SPANK'IN NEW HUMAN RETROVIRUS ANYWAY !
Gallo bit hook, line & sinker ! Didn't even notice the fact that he already said it caused HUMAN LEUKEMIA and then went & said that it also killed those same cells as H.I.V. !
PRICELESS !

As for not being bothered with the "nuances", that is utterly ridiculous, and it the root of America's societal problems with science. Did you know America's schoolchildren have been plummeting in the science education rankings wordlwide? It's because too many people "don't care about the nuances" and instead just want the "concepts". This sort of attitude leads to things like "syndrome vs. disease" and "contagious vs. transmissible". It creates a culture of ignorance and laziness, the things this forum exists to combat.

I agree that nomenclature is both important and specific to each industry to avoid confusion but in the context of an internet forum such as this, being that specific is lost to most of the readers.
I work in a technical industry that is full of acronyms and technical jargon. The nomenclature within my industry is also very specific to what we do. When I visit threads that are related to my industry, I am careful to not delve too far into the nuances as it could serve only to derail the thread. I often see people claiming to be experts, people making rudimentary errors. Now I could call them on it, but for the most part that would be pointless.
To keep the thread on point, none of what we are discussing actually pertains to the topic of this thread. Is AIDS a man made syndrome to curb the world population of undesirables? Have those professionals that we rely on to fight contagious or transmissible disease turned their backs on the very species they belong to? Have those that are supposed to find the cures become the harbingers of Death? If that is indeed the case, then everyone in those medical fields really needs to have a look at what they are willing to live with.

Your obviously not even truely capable of speaking the truth on drugs you actually prescribe, all you do is write prescriptions for "HAART" and call yourself a "GENETISIST"
put others down like your so superior & their stupid, because thats all you can do.
You should apply to be the poster girl for the AIDS establishment, or Gallos personal press rep, take your pick !
You stick uP for the drugs simply because passing them out like Halloween candy is whats paying your bills, who do you think your kidding ?
Retrovirologist stare down a microscope at the cape wearing HIV-1 & 2 super viruses like either are actually going to magically sprout an "AIDS GENE" or somthing right before their blind eyes or something. Thats what pays their bills though, so why not right ? You can relate can't ya ?
H.I.V. conatains NOTHING different from any single other natually occuring retrovirus, human or animal that it would cause it to do what absolutely no other retrovirus has ever been known to do and thats "KILL CELLS" period !
You don't know squat about any retroviruses, let alone H.I.V., because if you actually did you would have already KNOWN that absolutely NO retrovirus has ever been known to KILL the cells that they infect, they intergrate themselves into the cells for reproduction and become apart of their structure.

If HIV were created to cull the population, then the people who created it are easily the most incompetent scientists on the planet. It not only fails to kill quickly, it fails to kill effectively. In a short timespan (considering how recent the virus is, less than 60 years from what we know now), we have managed to take what was at first considered a death sentence and turn it into a chronic, but manageable, condition, not unlike diabetes.

Well that depends on what the purpose of the syndrome really is. Sure if immediate death was the objective then yes it is a failed attempt. If the purpose is to allow an individual a certain "fixed" lifespan in which to propagate the syndrome while using up all of that persons resources in an effort to stay alive then ultimately killing that person. Then it would not be entirely a failed attempt.
Consider, in a war the objective is not to kill your opponent, but to wound him. A dead guy simply drops his rifle to be picked up by the person behind him. A wounded man, will not only retain his rifle, but whole squads of medical personnel, drugs and other resources.
It seems to me that both AIDS and Cancer have a similar end result. Mostly fatal, but not after bleeding the host out of their financial and emotional resources.
The main difference being that AIDS is brought on by a virus that can be transmissible. (for clarity I am aware that cancer is not aids related nor does it function in the same manner etc etc..) Once again, in the broader scope how effective something is becomes entirely dependent what the initial objective was. Perhaps it wasn't mean to cull "The" population, but to cull "A" population.
I can think of no other "diseases" that are so financially intensive (to the victim) as Cancer and AIDS (syndrome)

That's not the point of war at all, really, it's just something you've made up to fit your analogy. If the point of war were to wound rather than kill, the world's armies wouldn't currently be developing more powerful guns, larger bombs, more accurate missiles, or precision-kill rifles. Wouldn't we, instead, be focused on non-lethal weaponry? That seems to be in massively short supply in every military in the world.

No one is forced to take any treatment, honestly. I've had plenty of patients refuse chemotherapy because they see it as an expensive means of delaying, rather than preventing, death, which it of course is in some circumstances.
Originally posted by VneZonyDostupa
Again, if it was meant to cull "A" population, then the scientists who developed it must be the most incompetent scientists in human history. How could you possibly target a given part of the population by using a virus that spreads through the one activity EVERY MEMBER OF THE HUMAN SPECIES participates in, given they survive to maturity? You honestly think some scientist thought, "now, how do we eliminated the undesirables? Oh! I know! We'll use one of the most basic human activitiess, that one that WE do all the time, too!"

Ok, it's painfully obvious you have never studied war, or you are just naive. So I'm not going to argue the point. I wish I were the person to have made that strategy up. If totally wiping out the enemy was the objective, rest assured VX gas would do a whole lot better job than ground forces.

Of course, those with the means spend as much as is necessary to get the treatment. Those with out..well they were going to die anyway. To imply that cancer and AIDS haven't proven to be extremely lucrative diseases is disingenuous.

I don't have the patience nor the want to explain to you why you have proven yourself to be without logic or common sense.
You have shown you can't debate on merit, only on technicalities which may or may not actually be pertinent.
Of course HIV can be spread via intravenous injections, just ask the red cross, but from you it's only via sex unless you have just admitted to being an intravenous drug user.
