The AIDS scam
The Economist (UK) is hardly a bastion of conservative thinking yet has published what should be required reading for those interested in how money is allocated for international disease fighting. You'd think that the UN and US foreign aid would go towards prevention primarily since there is no cure for AIDS. You'd be wrong. And if you thought that AIDS was the leading world-wide disease we face you'd be wrong again; malaria kills far more. But more money is needed, not more money spent wisely, just more money.

We knew most of this almost twenty years ago when Michael Fumento published The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS but the forces of political correctness and a pharmaceutical industry, both government and private, willing to make mega-bucks off a new "crisis" was able to easily brush such calls to rationality aside. Trillions are gone, more are wanted. If The Economist is figuring it out perhaps there is hope for a return to rationality.
