17576, but my question is
Posted by LexM, Tue Feb-13-01 05:41 AM
(just out of curiosity) How is it that we have virtually eliminated other "natural" diseases just by bettering our hygiene/living standards or finding vaccines (e.g. cholera, dysentery, tuberculosis, malaria etc.) and we cannot easily figure out how to stop a virus that (supposedly) originated in a monkey???

I certainly don't have all the facts on either side about AIDS being manmade/natural--and there are definitely good arguments on both sides on this post--but given the government's history (Tuskeegee experiment, Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, ad nauseum) I'm not willing to disregard the idea that AIDS is a manmade virus.
