Of the world's orphans from aids, over 90% reside in Africa.

I don't doubt that Africa has many orphans. I expect it, given living conditions.

One child every minute dies of aids in Africa.

I don't think they can prove it. Where are the graves? Where are all the ELISA and Western blot tests to prove that they even had AIDS and not one of the endemic diseases of Africa?

Over 50% of the pregnant women tested in subsaharan Africa test positive for aids.

You mean "test positive for HIV"? But none of the tests we have actually determine the presence of HIV, only proteins said to indicate its presence. When you say "50% of the pregnant women tested", which test was used? How many confirmation tests were done?

I don't think there is any evidence. WHO and the AIDS industry just spits out these figures. Most AIDS in Africa is diagnosed by the patient having one or more of about a half-dozen diseases endemic to Africa and tropical countries in general. When random testing is done, it's a single ELISA, a notably inaccurate test. We don't accept its results for AIDS diagnosis here. Why should we accept the very spotty use it has in Africa as indicating some huge epidemic.

I want to see studies in which a substantial sample was tested by Western standards and in which malaria, TB and parasitic infections were eliminated. But that research doesn't exist.

Nor will it ever exist. - If true science were to prevail, AIDS and the golden gravytrain that goes with it would evaporate like a morning fog on an August day.

You said you read Horowitz's book. Maybe not well enough.
