Why is SCIENCE so wrong so often lately? This news about AIDS is...?

Question

very hard to believe.

Throughout the years I've read about AIDS and some of the best believe theories from many scientists. Some of them were one written by a Cuban doctor whom insisted it was brought to the US by people in the Mariel boatlift. I believe she works in a Miami university.

Second was about a foreigner (won't mention his origin) whom was a flight attendant whom had had intimate relations with between 2 thousand and fourth thousand men!

Both these theories were thoroughly explained. A third was that it was brought into NYC by gay sailors in the 1976 US 200th anniversary!

Now this theory of having it been around since 1969!

Answer 1

Ok, you must have the correct answer. What is it? If you know that science is wrong, then you must know why they are wrong.

The origin of AIDs is next to impossible to track. It was around for quite a while before anyone realized that it was a disease spreading. Researchers would have to pour thru tons of patient histories going back many decades and hoping to find the earliest cases (which of course would not have been diagnosed as AIDs). That will take many decades to do and even then, they will probably not find the first person to have AIDs. As they do research, they will find different evidence and science will have to revise, alter, or discard and create new theories about AIDs.

Also, I notice that you say that science is wrong because they are coming up with a new theory. You list and impy that science has backed these other ideas, however, you do not provide any links to them. Some of these do not sound like legitmate theories from science. You may want to track down your own sources on these before declaring that science is wrong.

Answer 2

And do you imagine that it would be easy to trace the origins of a virus that can incubate for twenty years?

You demand a lot from science.

And seem to ignore the idea that there are many competing and reasonable theories about the origins of HIV and similar immune conditions, some of which actually place the beginning of the problem back to the beginning of the nuclear age; with the advent of much more radiation in our environment, diseases of weakened immunity might well flourish and mutate.

Yeast has become pandemic, and it thrives on radiation.

In truth, I don't understand your complaint. You seem to think there is one easy answer and it the shame of science (as if there were one monolithic thing that went by that name) that it has not put the puzzle together yet to your satisfaction.

What if, indeed, there is no one answer?

Answer 3

Everything I heard said it came in well before 1980 and had spread quite a bit before it was first recognized as a new disease. Your article says the "original estimates" of 1969 were accurate, according to their testing. But tests of genetic specificity have not been available until fairly recently, so it's not unheard of that new data would replace old. Science isn't necessarily wrong just because they're operating with the information they have at the time.

Answer 4

Science is no longer science. Look at the global warming hoax. All these things are just propaganda put out to perpetuate someone's not having to hold down a real job.

Answer 5

The most common strain of the virus that is in the U.S.A , Canada, and Europe has been traced to Haiti.
