AIDS

[badapple]

Do you remember the big deal that was made about AIDS about
10 years ago?

How the AIDS virus was spreading like wild fire & how soon the whole world would be infected by this killer disease.

Well what has happened to this disease?
Has a secret cure been made?
Has the disease been killed off?
How come AIDS is never mentioned in the media anymore?
Is it that the drugs companied have made their money?

Any comments?

Yeah i remember the telly advertising for aids was saturating the telly- Maybe they worked.

perhaps it was the famous like rock hudson and freddie mercury that died with it to start with and as most of this country are mad about the celebs it was worth reporting now it is mainly the poor and a lot in africa perhaps the media dont think it is interesting

Are you psychic? I was just thinking the same thought today!!

Its funny how AIDS was going to wipe out the human population, but I do think that education and safer sex practices have reduced the impact of this disease.

Was it made out be worse than it actuallt was? Probably, but I think it was a potentially devastating disease. I do think the pharmaceuticals hyped to make money a bit like SARS etc nowadays.

Good forum topic there badapple.
Aids was a big problem back then and although I did not personally know of anyone who had it or died from it. it was for a short time somewhat slightly overshadowed by ebola, which, though mostly contained in a few countries, also seems to have disappeared up its own backside.
The hype attached to aids was probably heightened by public fear of the disease and like yourself and masur123 it came up in pub conversation with a mate only a few weeks ago.
The baffling thing about this is that their isn't a worse or bigger threat out there now to have put aids in the dark.
So, badapple, you've posed an interesting question to which I wish I could contribute more.

AIDS is still around, they routinely test pregnant women for it, they just aren't spending the money on advertising like they did when it was first discovered, so people think that it isn't a problem anymore. It is.

:listen: There is a cure but, it's all about the money, money, money! ;)

[barrowmanandrew]

i believe they can control it really well now with a cocktail of very expensive drugs.
its not cureable but can be managed to some extent, which is fine in countries like the UK where you can get the drugs on NHS but still a killer in poorer countries.

Some great comments under that video on youtube. :wink:

"You are literally a garbage information harvester of the internet. All you have is empty rhetoric and a completely defiant attitude towards the 'system'. You're a cynic. If not, much anything less than a flat-Earther. It must take a lot of energy to perform such willful ignorance such that you display so poignantly. In fact, I think you just need a 'conspiracy' in your life in an attempt to make yourself feel important. Bad choice, the evidence is stacked against you."

have a read here at averts write up on nutrition mmm sort of backs up a case rather than the source you provided ?
ie a comment thats made by someone with probably no knowledge of the subject

did you know the avert link you posted is an aids charity ? specifically benefiting from aids and the money derived from panic about it ?

think that comment below your post is a reflection of yourself

[smirnoff_rules]

this is a good read

Scaremongering intrudes on every dimension of our lives. From cradle to grave, alarmist warnings influence our behaviour and dictate the way we now live our lives. As a society we are haunted by alarmist scenarios about weapons of mass destruction, global warming, and avian flu. But are our fears founded or are we being manipulated by scaremongers?In this fascinating book, Frank Furedi investigates the way scaremongering influences us and just how much the resulting fears can dictate our daily habits and alter the way we lead our lives. Covering the recent scare stories, such as child abduction, cyber terrorism and climate change, he reveals how scaremongering has actually become a respectable enterprise, with 'fear appeals' being openly discussed by public health officials and businesses selling their goods by engaging with public anxieties. Living in a continual state of fear can have very destructive effects - estranging us from our own experience and intuition and damaging our relationships with those around us. Furedi shows how to treat scare stories for what they truly are and bringing scaremongering firmly down to earth.

they can advertise all they like.... i'm not buying any.

nor am i ever going to eat a sexy monkey cuz that's how you get aids.
another way of getting it is swallowing swimming pool water if a man has been in there after having a masturbation and not washing his winky before diving in
