CDC/USAID DROPS ALL CLAIMS – The truth at last!

Question:

Years lost per 100,000 before age 75 as a result a non natural cause of death based on National Vital Statistics System. CDC table 31. 1999 figures. Heart disease: – 1,316.6 Milagnant endoplasms –  1,724.2 Unintentional injuries –  1, 047.9 Suicide – 343.0 AIDS – 187.6 http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus02.pdf Suicide is twice the problem of AIDS in terms of loss of life potential.

Response:

Mr. Jim Jones (a fitting name indeed), You overlook the fact that the current US conversion rate (AIDS to mortality) is under 3% PA. At that rate the vast majority will die of old age not so called ‘AIDS’. You are an utter idiot who has such distorted notions that I do not feel inclined to waste the time putting you straight. A typical retarded ‘AIDS’ apologist full of myths and lies. A waste opf my time and computer disk storage.

Hmm?  I assume by "conversion rate" you mean going from AIDS to being dead? Yes, I think I referred to that when I said the number of AIDS cases has plummeted since the introduction of the new drugs in 1995. A quick look at CDC2002 shows AIDS deaths as 50,000 in 1995, falling off a graphical cliff in 1996 and 1997, and stabilizing from 1998 on to about 15,000 in 2002 – a decline of about 70%.  Looking at numbers of people "living with AIDS" (which seems to suggest that HIV+ is also included), I see a nearly linear increase all the way from 1985 to 2002, going from 2,500 in 1985 to 45,000 in 1995 to 80,000 in 2002.  The number of "newly diagnosed AIDS cases" has dropped moderately, going from about 75,000 in 1995, going off a cliff from 1996-1998, and levelling off at about 45,000 in 2002.  My analysis of increase in total AIDS cases and the newly diagnosed AIDS cases is that those infected for the longest time are showing symptoms of AIDS despite the drug cocktails – surely refuting your argument that more infectees will die of old age than AIDS. You are an utter idiot who has such distorted notions that I do not feel inclined to waste the time putting you straight. A typical retarded ‘AIDS’ apologist full of myths and lies. A waste opf my time and computer disk storage.

I like how you describe me as an "AIDS apologist."  Actually, I’ve been haunting this group on and off whining about how I think the facts are being distorted, but my rants tend to focus on how the number of HIV/AIDS cases, along with their demographic distribution, are being simultaneously increased and decreased depending on what the political agenda of the moment happens to be.  If they’re lobbying for an extra billion dollars of public money to be spent on research and treatment, suddenly it is an "epidemic" that threatens to wipe out the human race within a few years. If they’re trying to explain how they spent that billion dollars, then they point out how the number of HIV/AIDS cases has "declined dramatically." They love to play games and exaggerate or downplay the incidence of HIV and AIDS among the various minority groups (women, gay men, blacks, etc.) – once again exaggerating the number to get more funding or downplaying the number in an attempt to "destigmatize" a particular minority group (e.g. "gays are no more likely than heterosexuals to have HIV").  But for all my ranting and raving, I don’t think I’ve ever claimed that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS; I’ve always admitted that it is a contagious disease though I also don’t try to hide the fact that homosexual and bisexual men suffer a grossly disproportionate rate of infection (I calculated 10.7%, or 162x the heterosexual male infection rate for Americans).  BTW, I do happen to be gay, and my willingness to accept the realities of the disease means that I am still uninfected.

Like the CDC, the State Department
