WASHINGTON -- Twenty-five years after AIDS emerged as a killer health threat, scientists are confirming that HIV really did originate in wild chimpanzees.

Scientists say trackers had to plunge through the dense jungles of Cameroon to collect hundreds of samples of ape droppings.

A University of Alabama at Birmingham researcher who led the international team said no one even had the tools to make their conclusions until they spent seven years in the lab developing new testing methods.

Beatrice Hahn said the world may not have a cure for AIDS. But she said the findings, published in the journal Science, let researchers make a "check mark" on the box for pinning down the origins.

This is interesting because many have made this statement that AIDS came from fucking chimps...

I don't believe that at all. People have been fucking everything since the beginning of time, so why all of a sudden now does it cause deadly viruses?

Good question, the thing I thought interesting is the article was so short and was making such a huge statement, I would have liked to hear a little more proof.

The AIDS research done by the University of Alabama is funded by the National Institute for Health. In other words, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To be blunt, the U.S. government.

 

Now, not to throw out a bunch of wild theories but there is a certain amount of people out there who believe the U.S. government created the virus in the first place. So, to be fair, I would ask for more credible research before I'd believe the chimp bit.

You do know, as a wannabee nurse, that viruses do evolve and occassionally adapt to another species.

 

A simple google produced this more detailed article.

It appears the first human AIDS victims were a bunch of gay hunters who ate a chimpanzee.

Okay conspirisy theory boy... When looking at disease research the vast majority is done by the U.S., and the focus is on diseases that effect the U.S. (for example while TB still a major killer today, isn't really being paid attention to). Its all about money, medical research is extremely expensive and the U.S. is one of the few who can front the bill to pay for it.

Not so, Australia is at the forefront in many sectors of medical research. I believe the US of A has actually vetoed lengthy testing of our cervical cancer prevention treatment in the aim of saving lives.

 

Australian Researchers working in independent medical research institutes are at the forefront of global research on, for example, cervical cancer, artificial corneas and gene therapies.

BULLSHIT!! Anyone who believes that is mentally ill. This just proves that they're full of lies!

 

"look everyone! After all this time, even after others proving this couldn't be possible, we've decided we want AIDs to have originated from chimps - Believe us!"

I am aware of that Hugo...its not that I disbelieve what they are saying, that would be incredibly arrogant, more like something you would say, I just thought that the article was pretty short considering the major statement they were making.

 

I believe a disease that can adapt to other species is called Zoomorphic...

The article is from a local TV station site. Not where you would expect long, detailed articles.

? - Actually it was around 7/8:40(where I am)at time I posted this and I'm female which makes the sentence above irrelevant....? so I guess it looks like 'someone' didn't have much to say..

Whatever,

 

We can understand disagreement, but you MUST offer somekind of counter-point in a debate... ESPECIALLY when the orginal point is full of efidentiary support!

I replied to this again.

Um..Am I missing something?....Was 'hugo's comment a 'debate', contrasting what I had said previously??

 

You are one dumb bitch. You must be black to be that stupid. He was quoting, and referring to, your original comment.

OHHHHH LMAO! (so I was missing something)

No - I'm not a dumb bitch - but I obviously made a mistake there...And you have a lot of nerve!! Hello? You didn't even reply to what I'd said before- I think because I merely said your comment was irrelevant you suddenly got pissed and thought any single mistake I now make, makes me a dumb bitch.. And what has being black got to do with anything!?? You're just a racist asswipe.

Whatever,

Okay - now - Ive been through this with 'someguy' already in another thread and I'm not the reppetative type but if and when I have time to waste then I'll argue about this topic yet again!

Nope, you are just the stupid type. Darwin, we have just found the missing link.

You're repetitive enough to comment without adding anything of your own. C'mon, I wanna hear your side too. I must have missed your original argument, so let's hear it!

It is the old AIDS was invented by evil white people to get rid of African-Americans argument presented in socialist alternative African-American newspapers you can find in any inner city. A ridiculously stupid hypothesis. Poisoning watermelons would be much simpler.

What? Let me get this straight... AIDS was invented by "the evil white man" to wipe out african americans? Whatever, is this true? Do you actually believe that?

 

Just between you and me, If thought that "the white man" was that intelligent and resourceful, I'd submit right now! ... No, wait a minute... Wouldn't it be easier to just round up all of the african americans into extermination camps? That sounds easier than inventing a virus...

 

dunno, I'm gonna smoke a bowl and contemplate this; switching between the history channel and sci-fi.

With all the gun-owners in America taking away freedoms from individuals doesn't go over very well.

 

Inventing a virus and spreading it is a lot easier than planning the logistics involved in organizing mass arrests and dealing with the public backlash.

 

Funny how AIDS spread like wildfire in the gay community after a hep vaccination trial.

 

Don't get flu shots. Now that we're into the pico-technology age I don't trust anything the government gives out for free.

Phreakwars, help! I need your handy-dandy idiot to english translator... Does this mean that all of the gun owners are taking away our freedoms -or- does it mean that taking away freedoms doesn't go over very well??????

Yeah, sure I just invented a virus last week... oh wait I'm mexican, I don't have the intellect to do it... I'll go ask my neighbor John to invent me a virus to make my roses more fragrant... since it's so easy for white people to invent them.

Those evil WHITE-PEOPLE!

Absolutely not! ...and don't drink milk either (it's white) and the evil white man might start putting some more "designer viruses" in chiterlin's and tortillas just to wipe us all out!

Yes they said on the History channel without a doubt it came from chimps. The natives used to hunt and eat them. They tried to connect it with leukemia but found it to be a completely different virus. They said the odds of that were astronomical. Also we get a lot of viruses from chimps it's just that they don't mutate to the level Aids and Leukemia has.
