Roanoke Times, 11-30-11, Pg 8: CDC: 1 in 4 with HIV have it under control; one-fifth of hose who have the virus aren’t aware of it.
-
AIDs Day and all the newspapers have major articles on AIDs in the US and Africa.
The emphasis is now on drugs that prolong both life and the illness but does nothing to stem the wave of this pandemic.
-
In the US we have over 1.2 Million known active cases
There are over 850,000 who are not being medicated
Deaths are down to 16,000 yearly due to medication and prior deaths of high-risk takers.
All these numbers are speculation because we don’t know, what we don’t know!
For example: AIDs is never listed on a death certificate.
-
Our government and society still refuses to use the most basic public health system processes, developed at the time of Typhoid Mary, of tracking, reporting and isolating this deadly pandemic.
-
We simply let this awful illness strike unwitting and innocent victims without determining the ID of the carriers and all their contacts and taking appropriate action.
We don’t allow that to happen for gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis, or any of the other major communicable diseases! All detection of those illnesses by doctors and laboratories are immediately reported to the Health Dept. who employ case workers who identify and work with all exposed and carrier persons to isolate the spread of the disease.
-
HIV+AIDS has been the most deadly concealed weapon in our society since 1985. Aren’t 25 years of benign neglect and hundreds of thousands of deaths reason to act with existing Public Health systems that have been in operation since 1907?
Apparently that’s not going to happen!
The first blog item on this pandemic and associated issues was: Feb 22, 2005

What an incredible contrast with our reaction to loosing 3,000 people on 9-11 compared to our lack of action for this pandemic. How can this be explained to all the family members of these victims of official malfeasance?
