"AIDS rates in Holland in 1998 were among the lowest in Europe at one new
case per million persons."

Cumulative 'AIDS' figures in Canada

What is interesting is that there have only been 65 teenage cases since
1983 in Canada. Also the 20 to 25 age group is very low too.

This is similar to the U.S. and does not fit an std.

Like America, people over 60 have as much 'AIDS'
(611 cases) as both teenagers AND 20-24 years olds combined (65 teen cases
and 573 cases in the 20-24 group).

Seems once again Grannies are going wild!

It's actually around a third, and has been for a considerable time (as
long as I can remember checking at least).

2003 UK estimates 0.1-0.3 average 0.2%
2003 US estimates 0.3-1.1 average 0.6%

Source - UNAIDS

I think this year's reports are the first time I've seen ranges for the
estimates. The literature suggests that HIV entered Europe at least
partly through the US (and partly from African contacts) so it makes
sense that it has less HIV, since both the US and Europe enacted public
awareness campaigns at the same time. The US though had a head-start.

Notice how the CIA have one figure (HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate: 0.1%)
and your source quotes another that is exactly DOUBLE (0.2%).

Seem every 'AIDS' figure is simply pulled out of a hat and anything goes.

You wonder why we don't take them seriously. Who could?

Somebody who understood why 0.10% doesn't mean the same thing as 0.1%
would not say something as stupid as "exactly DOUBLE" to describe this
difference.

Also, considering the confidence intervals in the estimates, the US and
UK could actually "exactly the same" prevalence!

"If the numbers were exact, they would not be called estimates."

As they differ by such a factor, let's just call them B.S.

"Also, considering the confidence intervals in the estimates, the US and

...and 2 = 2 could equal 8.


Give us a break.


Talk about Apologists. This is Alice in Wonderland.


0.1 = 0.2 - Right!

UK. Only know personally of one person who has died of "AIDS" (he was gay).

Upper limit of UK 2003 estimate = 0.3

Lower limit of US 2003 estimate = 0.3

0.3 = 0.3

Considering the confidence intervals in the estimates, the US and UK
could actually have "exactly the same" prevalence.
