Skeptigirl, at least now I understand your bias. You work in the field, you have given out advice to actually sick people, and you have given death sentences to healthy people. If that all would turn out to be wrong, could you live with yourself? Could you live with the parents of the kid you told was "HIV positive" and killed himself afterwards, knocking on your door and asking for an apology? I mean, you even believe yourself HIV is a death sentence, when the data is fairly clear that there is a significant number of people who live happily ever after being HIV positive. You even believe HIV would be an STD, and display problems coping with evidence to the contrary.
My only bias is toward an evidence based view of the world. You have an absurd rationalization as to why you are choosing to ignore the evidence. You need to ask yourself why it is you are attracted to an unsupported (by evidence) version of reality. You have chosen to accept a reality based purely on your established beliefs. The trouble with that is your evidence then is merely your imagination.
Take your version of my reality. What kids with HIV committing suicide are you talking about? I don't personally know a single HIV infected person who has committed suicide. And I would be ecstatic to be able to tell someone with HIV we were wrong. Your version of reality is purely an imaginary one you have built for yourself.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised you would continue twisting the facts to fit your reality. I'm not quite sure what you gain from living in your fantasy world. I wonder if you are just stuck there or if it serves some purpose for you.
We all have a slightly different version of reality, each of our brains interprets the world around us in an individual way. For some people, that interpretation is completely distorted. Those would be people we consider psychotic. For others the interpretation is distorted but not enough to actually leave reality altogether. That would be people like you.
For whatever reason, you are unable to distinguish between valid evidence and your imaginary version of the evidence. That differs considerably from people who merely lack education. For those people, if they are shown what evidence they have missed and why the evidence they were relying on was wrong, they are capable of interpreting the new evidence.
But in your case you simply take whatever evidence there is and twist it into your conspiracy theory. For most of us, we fit the evidence into our own versions of the world, but those versions are close enough to the actual world that we make sense to each other, we function with the same basic world view and it reinforces the fact we are interpreting the evidence with a high degree of accuracy.
You are taking the evidence which is all around you and making it fit into your fantasy version of reality. That evidence, when studies are repeated by researchers from all over the world and from all walks of life, is consistently reproduceable. The vast majority of the scientific community comes to the same conclusions. But you ignore that fact. You imagine every single person who draws a different conclusion than you do has some conspired motive to do so. Accordingly, only you and a handful of people do not have these conspired motives.
The evidence is what proves the case. Doucheberg and Mullis have had more than a decade now and they have been proved wrong, not the other way around. You are stuck in the past. At a minimum, you need to bring your science up to date. But before you can do that you need to recognize how far fetched your conspiracy is just looking at the scale you imagine it on. It is virtually impossible for such a conspiracy to exist. It would literally have to involve millions of people in every country all over the world. Every doctor, nurse, lab tech, university student, and researcher who has anything to do with HIV in every country in the world would have to be in on the conspiracy.
Tell me everyone and how many people are running this scam? I assume you think some of them are doing it unconsciously. So how many know it is a scam and how many people are just in denial? How is it every single HIV researcher can't see their bias? Why would only a handful of people call this scam a scam? All that research out there looking at HIV and the immune system from a molecular and genetic level and these guys are what? Afraid of the unemployment line?
You need to think about the scale of this conspiracy you have imagined. It is impossible.
