The issue I seized on in Bobert's original post is not that there may be some instances of false positives in AIDS testing. There is always follow-up testing in positive tests in order to eliminate false positives.

Rather, it was Bobert's claim that Professor Harari's statement, to the effect that more Africans die of AIDS every day than died in the events of 9/11, is racist and false because of false positives induced by malnutrition. Bobert said the professor's statement was "a friggin' crock of crap," that it was "one of the largest lies being told. Make Bush's lies seem like little white lies."

However, the FACT is that Professor Harari was correct. As I pointed out, in 2002, more than 2.4 million people in sub-Sahara Africa died of AIDS. That works out to more than 6,575 people per day. Far more than the 2800 hundred who were murdered in the events of 9/11.

It is Bobert whose false information is, his words, "a friggin' crock of crap."
