The Killer isn't an Evil Scientist, But a Profit Driven Health Care System
The Origin of AIDS: an Ethical Inquiry

-long snip-

It's not an evil scientist or even HIV/AIDS that's killing off so many Africans. It's the developed world's dollar-based health care system that's doing the job. Pathogens will come and go through the natural history of the world. HIV/AIDS is just one of them. It was welcomed as an unexpected ally by the developed world in the effort to re-colonize and exploit Africa. Unless the world's progressive community intervenes to help defeat AIDS, those who want to exploit Africa's vast wealth will make the most of this plague, whether HIV was produced in a laboratory by a psychopathic scientist or developed by accident.
------------------------------


looks like the "world's progressive community" isn't stopping much of anything these days

1. Everytime the western world jumps into Africa it's to take the $ and run
And fuck everyone else in the process.
