AIDS/HIV HYSTERIA

Have a read of this story carried on the BBC US news page today. It’s another one of those numerous shock horror tales the BBC loves to carry warning us of the danger that we all face from HIV/Aids. Turns out that the the number of Americans infected with the HIV virus each year is  actually some 56,000 rather than the earlier annual estimate of 40,000.  More proof of the “epidemic” being worse than we figured.  But how about the BBC asking why it is that the increase in HIV is actually predominantly amongst young gay men, and in particular black men?30% of HIV diagnosis occur amongst the US black population, but yet it is only 12% of the total US population, so surely THAT is a news story? HIV has decreased in the heterosexual population. No one is suggesting that HIV/Aids is not an issue but unless one is a homosexual/drug user/visitor to brothels it really is not a general health concern. Makes you wonder why the BBC seems so concerned about it……

A GLOBAL EXAGGERATION

. Interesting to see the BBC headline that screams “Aids epidemic a global disaster.” The report makes reference to the fact that the “Aids epidemic” now falls within the UN definition of a disaster – an event beyond the scope of any single society to cope with. I wonder if this is the same United Nations that has systematically exaggerated the scale of the Aids epidemic and the risk of the HIV virus affecting heterosexuals, according to a leading expert on the disease? Mmm – the BBC makes no reference to that, nor to the fact that the numbers of people worldwide with HIV have been inflated and the UN Aids agency has wasted billions of pounds on education aimed at people who are unlikely to become infected. The Aids plague has been a favourite BBC hobby horse and it faithfully assists the UN in misleading and scaring the public by promoting myths about the disease.

NO MORE RED RIBBONS?

Even the left-wing Independent reports that 25 years after after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic does not exist. In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations was profoundly flawed Kevin de Cock (His real name, honest!), 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 gay men, drug users, and prostitutes and their clients. The contrast with the propaganda pumped out by the likes of the BBC over the years could not be greater. Remember this? Oddly enough, the BBC does not seem to have picked up on this sensational news. I wonder why? No more red ribbons?
