NOT SO MUCH WORRY ABOUT AIDS, AFTER ALL

Years ago, when my kids asked about AIDs, I told them there were some surefire ways to not get it:
  • Monogamous sex, with spouse only.
  • Don't take drugs.
  • If you need a transfusion, the family will supply the blood.
I told them not to believe the crap that was coming from the left about it being an epidemic amongst heterosexuals.

Read on:

"A quarter of a century after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared.

"In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations may have been misdirected, Kevin de Cock, the head of the WHO's department of HIV/Aids said there will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the heterosexual population outside Africa.

"Dr De Cock, an epidemiologist who has spent much of his career leading the battle against the disease, said understanding of the threat posed by the virus had changed. Whereas once it was seen as a risk to populations everywhere, it was now recognised that, outside sub-Saharan Africa, it was confined to high-risk groups including men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and sex workers and their clients."

By Jeremy Laurance in London's The Independent

When Dr. De Cock (really?) says that the "
threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared," he means it was never present. It never was. After the millions (billions?) of dollars spent scaring the hell out of heterosexuals everywhere, grabbing as much cash from us as they possibly could, they finally admit that the threat has "disappeared."

If we will but use common sense, the left cannot continue to gain control of our money and our freedoms.

Will it be 25 more years before they admit that Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever they want to call it this year, is also a leftist hoax? I hope not. How much money will it cost us? Certainly more than the AIDs scare.
