Wow.
Both Mikey and Tower have insinuated that they believe HIV/AIDS to be the product of American government labs. So... they are insane.

Maybe it is the rest of us who are insane? Did you ever think of that. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to sort the worlds supply of M+M's

A while ago, you posted an article which referenced the very topic of government-created HIV/AIDS as a means to control the black population.

You have to remember this is the same strain that killed over 50 million people in 1918, so I think it warrented some coverage.

Wow.
The vaccinations are coming. I have read many articles mentioning governments of many countries getting finance approval for future swine flu vaccination programs.

So you think SARS, avian/bird flu and all the rest just happened?

The media always just blames some asian country for the source of these viruses with very little detail to support the claim.

And btw, swine flu is not "the same strain that killed 50 million people in 1918".............or you would think millions would be dead from swine flu by now.

I'm not going through the thread to check, but maybe it was Tower. I dont recall bringing up aids at all.

Yes! It does just happen when a virus or bacteria manages to make a cross-species jump to humans who have no natural immunity. Where do you think disease comes from!?

As for the swine flu, it's not identically the same, but apparently it shows the same virulence and capacity for rapid mutation as the Spanish flu did.

Its a changed variation on the swine flu virus. When you take into account the changes in health, medicine, diet, hygene and imune systems of people now compared to back then of course it hasn't killed millions of people.

But the 1918 virus was still a strain of the same virus, shows the same ability to species jump shows the same level of communicability and shows the same symptoms.

Yes the vaccinations are coming, but its not a cure for the people that have it, but it will hopefully prevent the spread of it, something that they didn't have back in 1918.

And yes, SARS and the Avian Bird flu basically did not just happen, they changed and they jumped and they're pretty good at finding out where the initial areas of infections are, they sometimes struggle with index cases for jumping (as an example with Ebola they've never nailed down the index jump to humanity).

This isn't some evil plot by the drug companies in concert with the governments, the Bilderblig group or what ever it is with financial backing by the luminati with help from the Texas Death Cult and technical assistance by the men in black.

Its a logical progression to try to build a vaccine and get it out there to prevent the mass spread of disease.

If this was a true evil plot, the vaccine would have been out there from the start during the panic in mexico.

"If this was a true evil plot, the vaccine would have been out there from the start during the panic in mexico."

But that would look pretty obvious to most people don't you think?

BTW and "if you remember" how I made a post about the creation of aids to control black people, I would like someone to point it out to me.....

The strain is H1N1 both in 1918 and now, though it has AS REPORTED mutated from what it once was....not sure what else you are referring to.

I guess the W.H.O. and the CDC are a bunch of lying liars controlled by the Bilderburgs/Illuminatti/whateveryourfavoriteconspiracygroupis, as well then huh?

It's called evolution, and while you many not understand the vector there are those that do.

Evolution sure happens fast! Every year there are new killer bugs for us.
I am actually quite scared now, all these viruses everywhere mutating and jumping from species to species.........we are all going to die!

To those commenting on the "value of a good education"...
Our education system does not teach kids to think, it prepares them for the work force, nothing more.

If you guys want to believe that our institutions or the establishment has our best interests at heart, you are fools.......
The German people of WW2 era thought Hitler had their best interests in mind too.

Awesome...now we have the current government being compared to Hitler.

Wondered how long it would take....and am not disappointed.

As for "new killer bugs" every year...they actually happen more often than that, though not all are dangerous to humans.

I guess the "establishment" created mad cow disease as well huh Mikey?

Well... we are all going to die and yes, a lot of us die from incidental or opportunistic bacterial or viral infection. Do you know how quickly viruses and bacteria reproduce...? Do you know anything about point mutations and evolution?

Locke was right. Your science teachers should be locked away.

As for a good education, I took political philosophy, going into grad school. I work in project management. No connection between the two.

Good for you but I was talking about grade school. You can get decently educated if you pay for it.

No, if you understood it you would know we aren't all going to die.

Define fast. How many generations? How long is a generation? What's the base mutation rate per generation. Do you know how many mutations there are between you and your parents even?

Depends on which teachers you have. It's obvious that some teachers aren't very adept at it.

And some continue their education themselves throughout their lives.

Time to introduce one of my favourite ladies.

The Red Queen

More about her from Wiki

Of course when I tried to introduce the Red Queen concept in relation to production declines and the pursuit of marginal reservoirs on a mid-term exam in my O&G marketing course at the UofC, all I got was a big red question mark.
