The Band Plays On: Good News on AIDS – Why the Silence?

Very interesting article. I first became interested in the AIDS scare about three years ago when I ran across an essay mentioning Peter Duesberg's theories in a book of science fiction stories with a few articles on junk science. Now I try to keep on top of all the developments in the AIDS fraud...

Bump. Notice how the EPA, with egg all over their faces, had to admit that danger from asbestos in lower Manhattan was almost non-existent? We've been fed a crock of sh*t about health for years. And, I noticed a couple of weeks ago that now they're trying to get us to worry about children and second-hand smoke (as though even if that is a concern, for which there is no evidence, it would be our bigest problem right now). As long as the American public buys the hysteria, they'll keep selling it.

Oh, thank you so much for posting this unbiased and
scientifically correct summation of statistics that are
based on well documented unbiased factual information.

You have done the world a favor!

I'll never understand why some folks are angered that AIDS/HIV is on the way out in this country. Why is that fact perceived as being negative?

[Senator Pardek]

1,000,000 heterosexuals were supposed to be HIV+ by now, and folks are screwing as much as ever. How could the government be wrong?

[John H K]

Well, Duesberg actually IS full of crap. Fumento isn't, however.

[John H K]

If you want to start a real flamewar, post some of Fumento's "Gulf War Syndrome doesn't exist" stuff here. That's even more politically incorrect than pointing out there's no massive heterosexual AIDS epidemic.

[Senator Pardek]

LOL - no thanks.

His best title for one of those articles was "Gulf Lore Syndrome".

"had to admit that danger from asbestos in lower Manhattan was almost non-existent"

When it's the Government, there's no problem because they have Zero Funding to fix the situation, or are unable to solve this situation.

When it's a private company, no amount of money is too much to spend to hire the lawyers, pay the EPA's fine, and other 'Green' clean up teams.

Bump this.

How many hundreds of thousands of homosexuals died unnecessarily because their lives were sacrificed on the altars of political correctness and the radical gay agenda?

I remember in the early 80s, when Diane Feinstein was Mayor of San Francisco, and she tried to close down the notorious bath-houses. In fact, this was before they even called it AIDS (GID, gay immune disease, or something like that). Many early cases of AIDS had been traced to the ferociously promiscuous anal sex scene in the bath-houses, and DiFi (for once doing the right thing) tried to close them as a matter of public health. The radical sodomites threw a fit, accusing her and the SF City Council of "stigmatizing" them. So the City Council backed down in the crucial early stages of the plague. This awakened gay activists to the political clout they could gain though playing to ignorant sympathies. After this, the possibility of an AIDS quarantine was never seriously discussed.

Meanwhile, AIDS raged on, and homosexuals died miserably by the hundreds of thousands.

My cousin was at UCSF medschool in '85 and '86, right at the epicenter. We had a conversation just after Rock Hudson died, and he told me back then that there wasn't going to be a heterosexual epidemic. Anal sex was paritcularly suited to the transmission of AIDS, followed by IV drug use. And he's a pro-Gay Rights Democrat!

Everything that we've "learned" about AIDS in the last 5 to 10 years, everything that Michael Fumento has ever written on the subject-- no heterosexual plague, etc.-- ALL of that was known or strongly suspected all the way back in the mid-80s!

How many have died in this country and around the world, because of the gay rights agenda?

This plague could have easily been stopped, if the truth had been told early on and if proper steps had been taken to treat this like any other lethal infectious disease.

[Conservative til I die]

Some epidemic. 20 years and I've still yet to meet someone with HIV/AIDS. Oh yeah, that's right, I don't hang out in bathhouses, go gloryholing, or shoot heroin. Gee, almost makes one think there's a correlation there.

[JenB]

Sorry, I didn't mean to say Duesberg wasn't full of it. At the time I had never heard a dissenting voice and it was an eye-opener. So at least he did that much. I still think they should give him funding, at least so he can prove himself wrong.

[Conservative til I die]

Yes, it is sad. And even though most of us here don't like whiny gay activists, one has to admit feeling sorry for the many gays in the 1980's who died because they were not given the facts.

[Senator Pardek]

Remember all the hub-bub about Alison Gertz in the '80s? Hyping her was akin to hyping someone hit by a piece of Skylab. All preachy blather and no reason.

[Senator Pardek]

I'm still waiting to hear reports about the explosion of HIV/AIDS in the straight porn industry.

Ya know what? It never came arrived.

[uncbob]

Seen Magic Johnson lately? A decade after his diagnosis he’s become a bit pudgy, but otherwise seems no worse for the wear. >

Thata's because the HIV virus doesn't cause AIDS and Magic quit taking the poison that is supoposed to stop the virus
