Do you think HIV was created on purpose to prevent a drastic increase in human population?

If you think about it, this virus does have a benefit to prevent people from having too many sexual relationships. In consequence, there are more natural resources available for the existing human population. Of course there are many other sexual diseases, but this one in particular makes a person think twice before having an intercourse. However, if this is true, it would be a very serious ethical issue. What do you think?
You guys cite some references. But I really don’t trust this world and its governments. They can easily cover this up.
it wouldn’t surprise me; however, we will most likely never know…
This is the worlds worst question!
i think it’s too complicated for monkeys to have developed it
What about cigarettes? This sounds more plausible to me.
I think the fist case of hiv was found in the late 70′s.
I believe it can be possible. lol
No. I think a hungry person ate a primate, brain and all, and became infected. Have you ever been truly starving? You’d be surprised at what you might eat if you have. It was an accident. If we truly cared about feeding hungry people and caring for the world’s poor, it would likely never have happened.
Hmm, that is an interesting point. I am not sure but I honestly believe it is possible.
It hasn’t done its job if that was the purpose. HIV/AIDS came from the 1880s and was not created by man.
Edward Hooper, a former BBC correspondent, has advanced the “contaminated polio vaccine” theory for the origins of HIV and AIDS. In his exhaustively researched book, The River[1], Hooper advances the theory that HIV1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a mutation or variant of, or the result of animal-to-human transmission of, SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus), a virus found in the chimpanzee. He lays blame on Dr. Hilary Koprowski, a virologist working for Philadelphia’s Wistar Research Institute, who allegedly used hastily concocted chimpanzee kidney culture medium from a Stanleyville research laboratory to create millions of doses of oral polio vaccine for a mass vaccination program in the Belgian colony of the Belgian Congo. The experimental vaccine was administered to millions of natives in the Belgian Congo without their informed consent. The research was partially funded by the U.S. Government. Hooper points out inconsistencies in what Koprowski and his team said they did, and what workers in Koprowski’s laboratories and at his chimpanzee research camp said was done. He describes Koprowski’s single-minded drive to beat Drs. Salk and Sabin in developing the first commercially-available polio vaccine, and posits that this was a factor in the use of the contaminated vaccine.
maybe people need more morals by gosh the smart ones at lease think now
Sorry, no way.
Also, it first developed in homosexual communities (at least in the US)–they aren’t a danger to the human population growth.
Also, scientists can’t even find a cure to the common cold. You think 20+ years ago they could create a virus and control its development to make sure its only spread sexually?
I think you spend too much time thinking about crap conspiracies.
No, viruses are viruses, they are everywhere. And there is not one cure for a virus on the planet, only vaccines, cause they mutate. There are still many viruses that man has not been infected with, but our exploration into this world brings us that much closer to the next pandemic. Look at bird flu, H2N5 I think. It was feared to be mutating into a human form, that could have been very lethal. These are mother natures way of population control, survival of the fittest, unfortunately, science and man kind has done a number on mother natures work, that is why we ARE over populated today, and weaker as a species.
I think that notion is disgusting. It’s prejudging people and saying they deserve to die, because they had intercourse. Regards of whether you believe or not that it is sinful to have sex out side of marriage. If the AIDS virus was created to “slow or tamp down” the growning human population, then you are talking about one of the greatest crimes against humanity…possibly in the history of mankind. Nevermind a serious ethical issue.
I think the idea of HIV/AIDS being created is a conspiracy theory. It very well could have been created, and, if it was, I doubt whoever created it intended for it to become the epidemic it is today. And yes, if it was created, it is definitely a serious ethical issue. Nobody should have the right to play God by choosing who lives and who dies.
I prefer to think that HIV/AIDS manifested itself or has been around for much longer than commonly thought. Whose to say that it hasn’t been around for thousands of years like syphilis or herpes, but we didn’t have a name for it until recently? Or that it didn’t exist in a less virulent form before but mutated into what we know today?
BTW, was the plague created on purpose to prevent a drastic decrease in human population?
I think not.
There are two issues here. Intercourse and conception. If it was conception that they were against, then why develop a virus that kills people? Wouldn’t it have been a lot simpler to develop a virus that causes all future conception to fail or even something as simple as impotency? Both would have served to keep the population growth in check. I’m sure any responsible government would thought hard before releasing something that kills people. It is the government now that has spend millions of dollars on AIDS research. If it indeed was the government who developed the HIV virus, then I would say it just shot itself in the foot.
No. HIV primarily affects homosexuals. They cant reproduce ( see biology 101). We already have a cure its called money. If you have HIV anti-viral treatment and a healthy lifestyle you will live to a ripe old age. If you have good insurance or medicaid the meds are free. If not they will run you between 3 to 5 thousand a month. HIV isn’t scary any more, at least in industrialized nations. I have worked with people who have had HIV 30 years and are as healthy as you and I. So I dont think people think twice about it anymore.
u are a idiot !!!!!!! and then some get a life..smell the fart that you just made with your mind..
Um, NO. So you are asking if it is even possible to consider a government to direct a lab somewhere to generate a virus that would kill someone after sexual contact in a long prolonged drawn-out way and make others to be careful about having too many sexual relationships. To keep down the human population.
Ok lets start with governments. Governments are run by a group of people, right? The power these people have is temporary, right? In America, representatives and senators and presidents can be voted out after one term so everyone involved in politics knows it is a temporary job. A government gets money from having more people have jobs and pay income taxes. So folks in charge would logically want more money coming in to increase their power while they have it. So governments would logically want people alive and working, not dead and pushing up daises.
Next, if a government or other entity wanted a lab to develop a virus to kill people after sex or certain types of sex so others would think twice before sex….. how would they state that order? Suppose you are a scientist in the late 1800′s when AIDS came about into the human population and you get such an order. The people who were scientists were mostly doctors sworn to help others, not harm or kill them. The paper you get says, you will get X amount of money to develop a virus that kills people after sex and makes other people to think twice, oh and guarantee a one-way trip to hell for killing millions of people. You would ball up the paper and hit the road.
No, HIV was not developed by people to slowly kill people who have weird sex and then go have a regular relationship to kill the innocent ones too. I don’t care who you don’t trust, think things through before you believe something which is impossible to be done was done by a government and then covered up.
Do read the previous post complete with citations. Another theory is that HIV was in some way utilized/maintained in biological warfare studies. If this was the case, genocide, or deaths of whole populations, is the goal not sterilization.
I fully believe that if HIV were a disease that one got while simply drinking cocktails among the rich and famous, as a function of political campaign fund raising activities, or by attending board meetings of blue chip companies – we would be far further in our research efforts. Today, HIV is still associated with “at risk” populations and our attentions to its cure are too easily mixed with our value judgments over the activities that lead to its transmission.
Meanwhile, it seems as if much of “main street” America remains in denial of who is doing what let alone how it is transmitted. All one has to do is turn to anyone of a number of talk shows. The concerns seem to revolve around reputation and behavior, determing who the baby’s father is, out of wedlock pregnancy, whether the paternity traces to the affair outside of the committed relationship, whether or not someones pride is injured due to the adultery of a partner, and then STDs treatment while seldom mentioning HIV. Seldom do we exclaim about every unprotected sexual encounter being the potential of being “the one” that delivers HIV. Seldom do we condsider anything outside of traditional intercourse carrying the potential for transmission. When the collective “we” speak of women outside of the US, we seem to believe that the women have the power and social capability of just saying no to a straying partner or husband; those that don’t are simply putting themselves at preventable risk.
Mean while, I do fully believe that there are those who are so caught up in their value and/or religious systems that they honestly believe that HIV is an acceptable or even desireable risk/punishment for those participating in behaviors they disagree with. Often, this world-view is cloaked in propriety. I can only say that my view of religion and propriety are not the same as theirs; rather, quite the opposite.
I dont believe that’s true. No one really knows how it all began.
I do believe its a man made disease…HIV wasn’t present until the late 70′s early 80′s and when it came it was only in San Francisco and only homosexual men had it and then it spread to the general population. Decades ago people lived not as clean as us and way before that they had no condoms so if HIV was some kind of weird virus that people caught it would a much older virus. I think it is a definite way for population control and for biological warfare.
i do not agree
