aids awareness day

[screamingeagle]

Today is AIDs awareness day. Yawn. The local news media acts like this is special. I want to shout, "So your lover died, get over it!"

BTW, December 10th is Human Rights day. Who makes up these holidays?

It's an exciting chance for White liberal do-gooders to fawn over down-low 60 I.Q. negroes, sodomites and needle junkies. Yay.

Here's an article that completely destroys the myth of AIDS with a devastating finality. Read it all. I'm tempted to copy/paste the whole thing here, but I'll just repost some of his numbers.

As to "forgotten but not gone:"Â￾

* HIV/AIDS accounts for just one out of every 146 U.S. deaths
* It killed just 74 children under age 13 in 2007 out of 40,000 total, or one in 542.
* That year twice as many infants died of other diseases as the total number of Americans who died of AIDS.

Yet HIV/AIDS will receive over $3 billion in the 2011 federal research budget. That doesn't include an entirely separately funded "infectious disease"Â￾ category. Granted, it's shy of the 100 billion gagillion that Dr. Evil wanted in order to ransom the earth, but:

* HIV/AIDS gets about $200,000 per patient death in the NIH research budget, according to calculations from the FAIR Foundation (Fair Allocations in Research). We spend 21 times more per AIDS death than cancer death. Pancreatic cancer will strike about 43,000 Americans this year and is essentially a quick death sentence. It gets 1% of the funding per death as AIDS.
* Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are the nation's sixth and 14th-leading causes of death of death respectively, yet HIV/AIDS gets 34 times and 25 times more per fatality respectively.
* The disparity is all the worse when trends are considered. While AIDS cases and deaths remain level, those of Parkinson's inexorably climb while Alzheimer's fly off the chart.

And no, it's not homophobic to point out that AIDS is essentially 100% preventable while none of these other diseases is preventable at all.

Further, the vast majority of federal AIDS spending can't possibly lead to a cure or vaccine or prevent a single new case. Of the approximately $26 billion budgeted this year for HIV/AIDS, only 11% will go for research and 3% for prevention. The rest is care, cash and housing assistance. Federal non-research AIDS spending far exceeds the combined research grant budget for all diseases combinedâ€"including AIDS! This even as NIH has to turn away over three-fourth of grant applicants.
...
And last month a new study was announced that indicates that a combination of two drugs acts as a highly "preexposure prophylaxis"Â￾ when taken regularly. Toss those condoms, guys! But the cost is $4,000 â€" $14,000. And guess who it's being hinted should pay for prescriptions for the nation's entire population that engages in high-risk activities? Yes, give and give generously. Uncle Sam insists.

Repost this link everywhere you find a discussion going on about this "disease".
