Thread Name: BS: What causes AIDS?
Subject: RE: BS: What causes AIDS?
"Well, as fir attacking someone who has the courage to stand up to the AMA, and Western African?AIDS PR crap, I would expect the same ol' cast of characters who are generally first to stand up and sing the company song..."

It's frustrating for me, and really hinders attempts to find the 'truth' in anything, when people take facts and spin them to weave their own 'company song', whichever company it is. It bugs me when people are too willing to believe a certain point of view just because the particular spin suits their politics.

Politics shouldn't be the most important factor in this, it really shouldn't be a factor at all. Saying the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, and everyone involved in trying to treat those with AIDS and prevent future infections are lying or trying to provided un-needed help, just doesn't make any sense. When what you believe is determined by which 'side' you're on, truth doesn't stand a chance.
