On the down side, we are surrounded by Apocalypse. On the upside, the Apocalypse can’t get away from us now:
The research, co-authored by researchers at Stanford University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, studied 1,926 HIV patients across the world with uncontrolled HIV despite being prescribed antiretrovirals. They found tenofovir-resistant strains in 60% of patients in sub-Saharan Africa in contrast to 20% amongst patients treated in Europe. Around two-thirds of patients with tenofovir-resistant strains had also become resistant to both other drugs in their regimen, indicating that their treatment had been completely compromised.
“Around two-thirds of patients with tenofovir-resistant strains… their treatment had been completely compromised”
That is big news. When you only have a couple of viral particles produced here and there, mutation comes slowly. When the viral load increases to what it might have been with no treatment, mutations are coming fast and furious, and all of them are being culled for the fastest movers and the most effective resistance. This will get worse, faster and faster.
Africa often gets hand-me-down drugs, near expiration or even past expiration. I even read somewhere that they send all of the leftover flu vaccine each year over there, and give it to the Africans even if the vaccine is expired, the season is over, and the next season’s strain will be totally different. They said in the article it was believed to be better than wasting the vaccine. I got the impression disposal of expired vaccines requires some arduous and costly highly regulated process, so they just send it to Africa to put it in people to get rid of it in the least regulated and costly way possible. That, or some lefty non-profit is spiking it with sterilizing antigens.
Combined with the distribution issues described, the distrust of foreigners who are sometimes giving adulterated products, and the heat and humidity weakening the drugs which are delivered successfully, you can see how you would encourage resistance. If the rabbits hold to form, they will soon try to increase the drive to import the gays from these areas.
Of course the unspoken problem is amygdala deficiency. AIDS is selectively infecting those with deficient amygdalae. Those with deficient amygdalae lack the cognitive force in their brain to drive strict adherence to an unpleasant cocktail of drugs. This means AIDS will tend to end up resistant, no matter how effective current treatment is, and it will happen wherever AIDS arises.
Where it gets interesting in the US is in cases like Charlie Sheen. Charlie so savaged his amygdala function with drugs that he reportedly developed a need for pre-op transsexual prostitutes, which is presumably where he acquired his HIV infection. If there was anyone who would spread HIV to every high-end escort in the nation, from coast to coast, it was Charlie. But I am sure Charlie is not alone in that regard, among the ultra-rich, extra-hedonistic, and totally amygdala-deadened. Now we see some speculation online that Clinton’s health problem’s could be HIV-related, as Al Sharpton begins to exhibit a tremendous weight loss.
If drug resistance does become widespread in the gay community, it will become a problem for all rabbits, but especially the ones who travel in highly rabbitized circles. Given the rabbitization in Washington, you would think the idiots in DC would have the highest rates. Not surprisingly, according to the CDC:
People in the American South “are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV over the course of their lifetime than other Americans, with the highest risk in Washington, DC (1 in 13), Maryland (1 in 49), Georgia (1 in 51), Florida (1 in 54), and Louisiana (1 in 56),” said the new infographic.
When K comes, it comes in force. The horsemen travel together, work as a team, and they prefer to savage r-strategists.
We should throw them a welcome party.

What’s your view of Peter Duesberg’s thesis about HIV and AIDS?
I still note that most of his criticisms of the entire theory remain valid, and the utter failure of predictions of impending catastrophe (Africa was supposed to be depopulated by now by African AIDS, yet the UN forecasts 4 billion people on that continent in a couple decades, and who can forget the breathless reports of doubling of cases in heterosexual populations..that turned out to be a doubling from a rounding error off zero to a still-rounding error off zero.)
AIDS in the 1980’s was a disease of lifestyle.
AIDS in the 2000’s is a disease of toxic treatment cocktails.
My view hardened when the CDC quietly took Kaposi’s Sarcoma off the AIDS disease list (because not enough people with KS were testing positive on HIV screens.) Data-fitting is a deafening siren of junk science.
I don’t know. What ever happened to the guy who injected himself with HIV, to see if he would develop AIDS?
What kind of insanity is that?
I can’t say. I do recall that the guy who developed PCR went on record saying he believed the “HIV test” was simply lighting up on some sort of debris or detritus, not an actual virion or subunit thereof.
When there is more money available to study the HIV theory of AIDS than there is any form of cancer, you can assume that no one will stand up and admit the whole thing is a farce. Peer review for grants and publications insures that any Error Pyramid in place will remain. I have yet to meet the preeminent scientist who is willing to fund a study or publish data that overthrows the entire basis for his prestige and position, knowing that his fate would be to drop to washing bottles in the upstart’s lab.
[…] HIV drug resistance is spiking. Look for a new AIDS epidemic in the near future. […]
With fireworks.
“People in the American South “are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV over the course of their lifetime than other Americans…” It would be interesting to see how this breaks down by race, because other than D.C., these numbers don’t seem to correspond to the traditional values held by many Southern citizens.
It will probably be city-living, race, and same sex attraction.
Maybe what I misunderstood is thinking that disease must exclusively target the r-selected. It’s probably more of a balance, and even if a plague killed 60% r-selected and 20% K-selected that’s still a huge force. The next question is – what’s the ordinary ratio of r’s to K’s in the population now compared to the past?
I think my comment got lost in the internets. How much worse do plagues hit r vs K populations? Maybe something like 80/40 or 50/20? I’m thinking it’s not 90/10 or anything that extreme.
Hello –
1. I was looking for one of the older blog posts I read here a few months ago but the “older posts” button is not working.
2. If you had a Twitter, it would provide a huge signal boost to your message, because people could easily retweet your posts.
Black males are something like 10 times more likely to be homosexual than other races.
Wait for it…..AIDS really was created to wipe out African man. (facepalm.)
