Junk Science

Why we continue to do AIDS research, I do not know.

Scientists suggest people with more copies of a certain gene are less likely to become infected with the HIV virus or to develop Aids.

The US National Institutes of Health team say their finding could lead to a screening test to determine someone's susceptibility to HIV/Aids.

The gene the researchers studied is one which helps the body to fight the HIV virus.

Gentle reader, I will now tell you, once and for all, who is susceptible to AIDS, without any need for further research: fornicators and drug users. I will now tell you all, gentle reader, how to prevent AIDS: don't fornicate, and don't use drugs.

It always amazes me that people refuse to recognize the proven fact that you will not get any number of diseases or infections or develop any number of other health problems if you don't have sex until you're married and you remain monogamous. Same with drug use: if you don't use drugs, you won't develop the health problems associated with them.

A lot of people whinge about President Bush making aid and medical assistance to Africa conditional to African countries promoting abstinence. They claim it's an attempt for him to police the morality of other cultures. Nonsense. The only way for people to avoid contracting HIV is to keep their trousers on and wait 'til they're married. Not willing to get married just to have sex? Then the sex isn't that important!
