Was Aids Created by American scientists?

You can find info on both theories on AIDS.
Either it came from a monkey type animal, or it was man made.
What are your thoughts?
Please post links if possible.

None of us really know but you should get all kinds of interesting and diverse answers. Personally, I think aliens from Venus brought it down and also caused global warming. They plan to relocate here as soon as humans get wiped out and the planet gets up to the temperature that they are used to.

Conventional wisdom says it came from monkeys. It also says that "sex workers" are resistant to it because they get frequent doses of HIV.

Unconventional wisdom says it doesn't exists and is simply a collection of people with other conditions. After all the majority of people who die from AIDS die from liver failure that most AIDS diseases can't cause.

Those that say it is man made don't have degrees in medicine. The other two theories were created and are currently backed by scientists.

Most likly by accident

Polio vaccines are grown (cultured) on monkey kidneys which could have been contaminated by SIVs. Polio vaccines could not be screened for SIV contamination before 1985.

The location coincides dramatically. The earliest known cases of AIDS occurred in central Africa, in the same regions where Koprowski's polio vaccine was given to over a million people in 1957-1960.

The timing coincides. There is no documented case of HIV infection or AIDS before 1959. Centuries of the slave trade and European exploitation of Africa exposed Africans and others to all other diseases then known; it is implausible that HIV could have been present and spreading in Africa without being recognised.

Another monkey virus, SV-40, is known to have been passed to humans through polio vaccines. A specific pool of Koprowski's vaccine was later shown to have been contaminated by an unknown virus.



The idea that our government did it stems from our response to its out break in the 80鈥檚

A significant source of Reagan's support came from the newly identified religious right and the Moral Majority, a political-action group founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell. AIDS became the tool, and gay men the target, for the politics of fear, hate and discrimination. Falwell said "AIDS is the wrath of God upon homosexuals." Reagan's communications director Pat Buchanan argued that AIDS is "nature's revenge on gay men."


With each passing month, death and suffering increased at a frightening rate. Scientists, researchers and health care professionals at every level expressed the need for funding. The response of the Reagan administration was indifference. ....

By Feb. 1, 1983, 1,025 AIDS cases were reported, and at least 394 had died in the United States. Reagan said nothing. On April 23, 1984, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced 4,177 reported cases in America and 1,807 deaths. In San Francisco, the health department reported more than 500 cases. Again, Reagan said nothing. That same year, 1984, the Democratic National Convention convened in San Francisco. Hoping to focus attention on the need for AIDS research, education and treatment, more than 100,000 sympathizers marched from the Castro to Moscone Center. ...

With AIDS finally out of the closet, activists such as Paul Boneberg, who in 1984 started Mobilization Against AIDS in San Francisco, begged President Reagan to say something now that he, like thousands of Americans, knew a person with AIDS. Writing in the Washington Post in late 1985, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, stated: "It is surprising that the president could remain silent as 6,000 Americans died, that he could fail to acknowledge the epidemic's existence. Perhaps his staff felt he had to, since many of his New Right supporters have raised money by campaigning against homosexuals."

Reagan would ultimately address the issue of AIDS while president. His remarks came May 31, 1987 (near the end of his second term), at the Third International Conference on AIDS in Washington. When he spoke, 36,058 Americans had been diagnosed with AIDS and 20,849 had died. The disease had spread to 113 countries, with more than 50,000 cases.

No, it was created by nature (or God, if you wish) to help control monkey population. It may ultimately help with human overpopulation but it works too slow and we need a large die-off for humans very soon. Overpopulation is again showing its squeeze and in a few decades we will have many billions more.

We will probably do it our usual quick, more merciful, but economically destructive way: large scale, often genocidal, war.

I heard it came from natives in africa eating monkey brains.

I've also heard the theory that aids was created by scientists too, or at the least it was taken into practical consideration as a potential weapon.

edit: Loose Cannon; If you're not shooting your buddies, you ain't loose.

All right Jerimiah Wright the jokes over. I think it was created by man, but not to kill certain people if that's what you are insinuating. Maybe a germ warfare experiment or God's punishement of "free love"?

The monkey theory was debunked years ago. Is that the last time you read? I think it is totally absurd to think scientists created Aids. Do you know how it started and how it spread? Just how did they do that?

if you honestly think that, you are an idiot. the KGB started that rumor.the only people who think that are idiots and people who go to obamas church.

no, somebody got bitten by a monkey (or ate one) and this crummy plague spread throughout the world.

There are NO serious government conspiracies. The government is rotten at keeping secrets.

some africans were hunting bush meat(monkeys) and their bloods got intermixed. Of course the real spread did not happen until the mass availability of air travel.

well, i heard by reliable sources, that it was spread by Africans Screwin Monkeys........!

no. and the government didn't give it to anyone as some kind of plot.
read "the hot zone".

AIDS is a man made Virus. I have no doubt about it.

always looking to blame Americans, huh? why, because your culture is so inferior?
