    Don't ask me or anyone else - always beware of gurus who claim to know stuff. I have a lot more time for people who tell you what they don't know. If you really want to buy, yhe only advise I'd have for you is to hold your fire for a few years, and consult widely. DYOR - the investor's mantra. Do Your Own Research. If more people had done this in the noughties...that's a whole other thread...

    The lack of knowledge and coherent thinking on the part of 2wsxcde3 here continues to be staggering.

    The connection between HIV and AIDS is a fact. If there were any doubt about this then said doubt would be acknowledged by the medical community. But they don't doubt it.

    One Dr. Neusberg contending with this fact does not make the whole house fall down.

    You seriously think that the mountains and mountains of evidence for the link between HIV and AIDS is wrong? Seriously?

    On your rather convoluted questions about why certain segments of the population are more at risk of HIV than others.... Really? You would (I hope) accept that young children and the elderly are more at risk of cold/'flu than other population categories? It's because they are more susceptible to the illnesses. Same with the people more likely to get HIV.

    I can't believe Dr. Neusberg really said that if HIV caused AIDS (which it does), then the disease would be evenly spread worldwide. Does he really say that? If he does then he needs to check into a retirement home.

    Your comparison of economics and it's recent failure to evidence for a HIV/AIDS link is laughable, really, for the reasons pointed out by Monty.

    Now, could you please explain how HIV is harmless? Explain away nearly 7,000 HIV/AIDS patients in Ireland alone?

    Why are you asking me? Go find out what he says yourself. It's one of main principals discounting the HIV=AIDs hypotheses ...which you would have known if you actually looked into the topic in discussion instead of coming on here and pretending to know what you're talking about without bothering to actually examine the issue.

    Experts have been wrong on plenty of occasions throughout history. If you think experts nowadays are different for some reason and not prone to getting things wrong occasionally, take a look at your paycheck at the end of this month.

    Do you know who is wrong even more often than 'experts'? People who say all the experts are wrong. 99.99% of the time they are talking out of their behinds.

    You haven't addressed a lot of the points put to you here. If you don't want to, just tell us that, it's fair enough, and we'll stop asking questions.

    Maybe Africans have higher instances of AIDs due to a lack of sexual education? or because condoms are uncommon there?

    There's another big reason. A lot of Africans have genetic resistance to malaria. Unfortunately what's responsible for this resistance has a side effect of making you more likely to catch HIV.

    HIV rates are higher in all malaria zones - South East Asia/South America

    so gay men are more at risk of aids because they engage in anal sex....

    there are a lot of women who go brown as well as pink.... so how come women arent at greater risk????

    Men are also more promiscuous than women.

    A pedant like me making such a glaring spelling mistake - oh dear :o

    @2wsxcde3, so he does say that the disease should be spread evenly worldwide?

    He definitely needs to think about retiring.

    I assume the resistance you refer to is having non symptomatic sickle-cell amaemia. I've never heard of it making someone more likely to contract HIV though. Would you mind linking me so that I can read more about it?

    Interestingly, patients with both sickle-cell and HIV seem to actually be more resistant to progressing to AIDS [Link]

    I would have thought that in terms of heterosexuals the amount of sex would have to be more or less the same for each gender?:confused:

    Not necessarily. You could have 90% of the men having sex with 60% of the women, or whatever.

    The mean still comes out the same. :)

    Indeed, but is the mean what we are concerned with? If you had 10 men and 10 HIV positive prostitutes, the mean for sexual encounters will be the same whether 5 men have sex with the ten (2 encounters for each man), or all 10 men have sex with the ten (one encounter each). Which situation leads to more HIV positive men? :)

    The same no? Still the same number, 10, of possible infections.

    EDIT: Though in that scenario the max number of infections possible is actually lowered if you assume that half of men are promiscuous and half aren't.

    Um - in one scenario 5 guys have no sex at all... :pac:

    How about you look at some of these... they're brand new!

    Forget white flags- would you be able to bring yourself to put your hands up if you actually watched these and thought perhaps 2wsxcde3 had a point regarding the need for further research, many flaws in the orthodox theory and many people dying on azt & co.? So many things cause autoimmunity generally even in those who test negative/unreactive on HIV tests. Every HIV test ever made also contains a disclaimer saying it cannot be used without a confirmatory test... all of which also have disclaimers. Don't think 2wsxcde3 is claiming to have all the answers just expressing a healthy dose of scepticism. If your really that sure there's no two ways about it then pperhaps you could watch these documentaries (particularly the first) and share your views.

    As an aside with regard to AZT... the highest cause of death in AIDS patients on the meds is liver failure-from the drugs

    Its far easier for a guy to have sex with a different guy every week than it is for him to get a different girl every week.

    Girls have higher standards than guys so straight guys have less opportunity to have sex than a gay man would

    Yes to an extent. HIV continuously mutates so no two samples are going to be exactly alike, from what I can see anyway.

    Has anyone got any data they can link to where HIV has been isolated


  • Registered Users Posts: 380 ✭✭2wsxcde3


    It's never been proved scientifically that HIV causes AIDs. What we have is a lot of circumstantial evidence connecting the two but an actual scientific connection has never been established.
    And while circumstantial evidence can be convincing - it doesn't necessarily prove guilt.

  • Registered Users Posts: 380 ✭✭2wsxcde3


    I think this thread has started to loop. :)
    I was starting a brand new argument if you had bothered to read my post properly. I was challenging the connection between HIV and AIDs becuase it's based on circumstantial evidence rather than scientific evidence which is the norm in disease research.
    The fact that a scientific connection can't be found, and that the HIV=AIDs hypothesis has had to rely on circumstantial evidence should be enough to raise red flags on the issue.
