Comments on: Drug bust http://www.scienceguardian.com/blog/drug-bust.htm Reviewing scientific paradigms and other general beliefs in the light of the scientific and professional literature Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:57:56 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Cathyvm http://www.scienceguardian.com/blog/drug-bust.htm/comment-page-1#comment-5676 Cathyvm Sun, 27 Jan 2008 04:08:44 +0000 http://www.scienceguardian.com/blog/drug-bust.htm#comment-5676 I think the high rate of HIV+ve diagnosis in Black Africans here is probably due to a combination of factors. Pre-existing antibodies to TB and leprosy, possible cross-reactive antibodies to helminths, a low-protein diet (even here; despite being an agricultural country 1/3 of its citizens cannot afford good food) and possibly the biggest factor - prejudice. In SA just being Black does not automatically put you in a risk group, here, being Black is seen as almost synonymous with "having AIDS", which must affect the judgement of the white, middle-class lab technician (probably pooping his/her pants that the virus will jump off the blot strip and infect him/her) in the interpretation of this arbitrary, ridiculous test. It pretty much adds up to "Medical Ethnic Cleansing". What are the UN doing about this genocide? Oh yeah, they are promoting it. Oigen I long ago threw out the idea of a "healthy reference range" - find me a bunch of free-living humans, not exposed to various environmental toxins, synthetic pharma drugs or the crap Western diet and I might discover what 'healthy' parameters really are. Epidemiologists (I call them epididymologists because it really is a load of bollyx) like to apply their homogeneous mediocrity in a blatant but strangely successful strategy to identify more fresh victims for their whoremaster big Pharma. Soon, I'll tell you what I really think! I think the high rate of HIV+ve diagnosis in Black Africans here is probably due to a combination of factors.

Is it institutional racism that stinks or insufferable ignorance. I reckon it's both. Our white coated geniuses at HIV/AIDS inc. are wallowing in such a sea of “overwhelming evidence” that they can't see the proverbial forest for the trees. Check this revelation out from one Dr. Pontiano Kaleebu conducting tests in Uganda last year...... Until now, researchers in Africa have used "reference ranges" - what are deemed "normal" levels of components of a person's blood - based on North Americans and Europeans. But healthy Africans, a new study shows, have different levels of white blood cells and other blood components. That shouldn't be a surprise, the doctor points out; the only shock is that it took this long for anyone to map out what's "normal" in Africa........http://tinyurl.com/38wcqd But this has been known since at 1998..........

Black Africans comprise only 0.2% of the total population but make up 21% of all HIV positives here. They are 244 times more likely to test positive than non-MSM, non drug-using, non-African people. Furthermore, the HIV prevalence in NZ Black Africans (and this is conservative as ethnicity has only been recorded since 1996) here is 3.5% - higher than that reported for high-risk prison inmates in an East Cape (SA) prison. I smell an institutional racist rat. New Zealand is purportedly a first world country, but AZT is a first-line therapy (not mono) here, especially if your skin is brown/black.
