365000 avoidable deaths

According to an Harvard study, a conservative estimate of 365000 people died prematurely of AIDS due to the anti-science, HIV-denying, backwards policy of Mbeki and his infuriating health minister Tshabalala.

I'm glad those idiots are no longer in power... but the price was high.

I'm not convinced that the new bunch is much better

But yes, Mbeki and Manto's (the nickname for the health Minister) insane policy towards AIDs has given us the dubious honour of being the country in the world with the highst AIDs infection rate.

Scary stuff.

So much saddness.
