Re: HIV/AIDS
Yeah, I've had the same experience when digging into it. The relation between the virus and the diseases are very unclear. The statistics about the spread of the virus of very weird. The behaviour of the virus in the West and Africa and completely different. You can basically only get it through blood transfusion (or parent child?); through sex it's like 0,5%. You die after 10 years, but somehow it's an epidemic in Africa, even though all children that have it should die from it before they bare children. The virus came out of nowhere in the 80's even though virusses all other virusses have been here for ages and come in waves. The doctor who proclaimed it at first is completely untrustworthy and prescribed the effects of it to a completely different problem before saying it was this virus. etc, etc.
The reason everything is unclear is largely due to government intervention. There are tons and tons of subsidies and medicinal regulation involved with these kind of things, so just like global warming, it's one big cloud of lies and corruption, and finding out the truth is extremely hard (you almost need to medical degree as you can't trust anyone).
