Health,

1.) You said “Just because it was possible – doesn’t mean it happened. And how do I know it didn’t? Because AIDS causes other diseases which were documented and there weren’t alot of them.”

There were a lot of them. For the 10th time those diseases where observed in a very diverse population and HIV can lay completely dormant for over 10 years without showing any symptoms.

2.) You said “I agree with you about his response, but I disagree with the liberal solution. The only real solution is quarantine. S– education doesn’t work. That’s why there are new cases everyday, since the 1980’s!….Most of the way it was spread was from the Gays, and they should have been tested. Anyone testing positive should have been quarantined. This wasn’t done because it wasn’t PC!”

Of course it works. People are more likely to use safe practices if they know about these dangers then they are to submit to testing, you have this ridiculous idea that if the government wanted it could easily just round up all people who had in the past 10 years used an intravenous drug, Gays, Haitians or Africans or anyone who had contact with them in the pervious 10 years. This is not possible!!!

You keep just repeating the same assumptions over and over as if they are facts. You are assuming that AIDs was specific to the populations it was first clinically observed in. This is a false assumption. The diseases you keep mentioning where observed in a very diverse population. The idea that AIDS is a G– Disease contributed as much as anything else to the conservative government in the 80s ignoring it.

3.) “You put words into my mouth – to push your beliefs. Noone said instead of! A travel ban would keep it more or less out of the US. They should have done that with HIV – not letting in Africans.”

No, a travel ban would not keep it out of the USA. All it would do is make it harder for/prevent medical professionals from going there.
