A new study by US sientists revealed that the AIDS virus was carried by a Haitian immigrant into the US in 1969 and swept the world ! It's all over the news from CNN, Fox, NBC. ABC ect...
There we go again,this time they have scientific proof that they claim cannot be denied
the backlashes will be worse than the 80's....I hope and pray that the new generation of Haitians stepped up like our generation did in the 80's...Where is Wyclef? where are the educated Haitians? the profesionals? where are "les diplomates du beton"? where is the haitian media? the Haitian government? Deja vu, discrimination against Haitians ...we 're going back to the days where kids of Haitian descents will be harassed, vilified, at school, we're going back to the days of rampant racism/prejudice/harassments against all Haitians.
We are all in the same "boat", the family name BS, the skin complexion CRAP,
the french speaking SHIT WILL NOT FLY...WE ARE ALL HAITIANS!

Besides the initial shock of the headline, making me want to go dive into something an disappear for a while, I didn't take it that bad. It must be a developed immuno-resistance to that kind of news.
It is a largely emotional issue. No one wants to be the escape goat or be indicated as the medium to some human tragedy as severe as the spread of HIV.
Now, how would that affect me that a Haitian immigrant was the vehicle of HIV to the United States? In no way unless some ignorant person uses some fallacious thought process to qualify an entire people and thus sprinkle me with some out of place labels. In the same way, a rational person's views of children should not be changed by knowing that a child playing with matches started the fires in California that perhaps burned his entire neighborhood.
Now that maybe millions have been spent to establish historical facts, how do you bring an equally scientific counterclaim? By spending your own millions? [Has that already been done in the 1980's as a basis to giving Haitians a break or was it a political move that was decided to "ease" the discriminations?] I doubt that's on the table and all that is unneeded diversion form research efforts to find solutions to a real problem; but one man will always find a way to finance a fantasy.
I am not an epidemiologist, but I don't see how the knowledge, acceptance or rejection of the path of HIV at this point in time can help with anything. The bottom line is that it's a waste of resources to try to win that kind of argument that will not help solve the fundamental problem. Haiti has made significant progress to reduce AIDS infection, maybe someone should buy a page in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Los Angeles Time and just print that with some statistics through the years.
That would be another waste, but since it's an emotional issue we are dealing with, one would probably feel good about it.

The Socio-Political Myth of Haitian HIV/AIDS

I agree with you gnmusic...
The extent to which this story is being reported in the media as a
matter of absolute truth is misleading. Haitians are the victims of
AIDS as is the rest of the world. The renewed attention given to
this baseless argument can only serve the purposes of a small group
of people not interested in science or in increasing the freedoms of
Haitians for that matter. For more compelling arguments against the
research and view presented by Worobey and his team, follow this link
