Just read an article in the Volkskrant, a Dutch newspaper, and it sounds pretty ridiculous.
The article states that evolution biologist Michael Worobey of the Arizona University discovered that 1 person is responsible for the arrival of the aids virus in the USA in 1969, much earlier than everyone had assumed.
One person and one alone, yeah right! Supposedly an immigrant from Haiti who traveled to either Miami or New York and from there the virus spread, first in the US and later through the rest of the world.
At the same time the biologist says that the immigrant is unknown, although he did ‘discover’ that he was single, uhuh.
He continues to say that around 1930 the virus was already transferred to humans in Africa who had been eating infected monkey meat. So they were not fucking with monkeys after all then?
Around 1966 the virus was brought to Haiti from Central Africa; the researchers (yup, plural all of a sudden) are almost 100% sure that it didn’t come directly to the States.
Well well well, blame the Haitians! Perhaps Bush needs some excuse to sanction them?
