This sort of thing is not new.
I cant recall exactly what, but a few years ago some pharmaceutical company sold on to african countries some drug that was either tainted or they knew it didnt work or had been banned for being dangerous in the states.
Tragic, but no one will ever be taken to task over it. Too much money involved, and yep money is more important than lives in this sick world.

Because Bayer are the worlds biggest AIDS medication sellers, and have the monopoly on who other countries buy their drugs from?
That's just a wild guess, not a fact.
Makes you think though.
Either that, or someone simply didnt give a shite and wanted that stock shifted.

Some drugs you samples taken from humans. I guess it was the fault of pharmacists who were meant to have tested their patients first. Although reading about misdiagnosis is quite common these days so I guess it could quite easily happen.

BTW, i'm not defending the drug company, just explaining to bbones how the disease got into he drugs.


What you just said makes no sense to me.
Aspirin with Aids in it. Lots of them.
Please explain in words of one syllable how you think that happened? I must be having a thick moment.

Aside - I always thought haemophiliacs bleed too easily. Aspirin is given to people at risk of stroke, ie thins the blood and stops it clotting, so how and why would aspirin which thins the blood help someone whose blood does not clot properly??!!

Ah.
Hhhmmm, still dont understand how aspirin could end up with aids in it...unless i have misunderstood the storyline?
I suppose i naively thought that the workers in the medicine-making-factory wore gloves and little plastic hats and all that palava rather like you see on the telly with radioactive stuff...!
Trouble is, who knows if these places that make the medicine dont also keep samples of the illness close by, like when foot and mouth or was it anthrax was leaked from the pirbright laboratory that is trying to find a cure...seems daft to keep the bad thing and the good thing together, thats just asking for trouble surely?

Ah, now that makes more sense!
Thanks u4ric, my pc speakers are tinny little things and the voices fuzzy, I thought I must have misunderstood something.
Now I can understand what they were actually talking about, I remember how donated blood was infected and alot of people suffered the consequences in the '80, but still it's awful if someone *knew* about this problem and said/did nowt.

I didn't quote the program, just stated that the program is based on a very real threat. Also I don't trust the media but if I read some thing in the media that makes perfect sense to me without a doubt then I believe it myself.


I do believe that is exactly the point bbones was making.

Lets say you read something in the media, it makes perfect sense to you, so you believe it.
I read the very same article, I think "what a load of old tosh".....who is right, you or me?
Surely the one of us with the real facts to hand?

So, you are saying that you believe that viruses are created on purpose as a form of population control? Rolling Eyes
