Biologists Discover Why 10 Percent Of Europeans Are Safe From HIV Infection

Even after we vanquish HIV and AIDS there will be a new plague amongst us, it is nature's way of controlling the population. And giving geneticists something to do :P

This is interesting though, I didn't know the bubonic plague was accompanied by a viral presence too. I thought until now that the black plague was nothing but carrion rats full of disease infecting people's food supply, interesting too know it was also a virus. Also if the bubonic plague helped prohibit HIV can't it prohibit other viruses?

This vacine in Thailand is noz´t healing it, just reducung the activity; actually like the ones which are already used.
But it schould be much better.
So better keep away from getting the HIV.

Like V for vendetta . The powerful playing god . I hope lots are immune , but not them . Nature , help us out here !

Personally I don't think that HIV is a naturally occurring virus.

First of all, this research is already 10 years old or more. The CCR5 delta 3 mutation was identified when I was working on editing a film for a University professor back in 2000. The professor told me about it.

But what I was thinking about when I read this article is the mention of Hemorrhagic Fever and Small pox. Around the time that the CCR5 delta 3 mutation was discovered, there was talk in the world of microbiology and virology about the the gene sequencing of the HIV virus having been completed and the controversy of how so many people who worked on the project were turning up dead; for a variety of reasons, but he frequency with which these microbiologists were dying was alarming and unnatural. It smacked of conspiracy and once that label was affixed, it was dismissed and not given much more thought by mainstream media or science.

Scientists can be driven to silence about their discoveries with death threats to them and their families.

The conspiracy or controversy was that HIV was actually two viruses spliced together; Small pox and Viral Hemorrhagic fever. So when I saw these two things referenced in the article it made the hairs in the back of my neck stand straight up.

Always look on the bright side of plagues ::Monty Python Whistle::

My guess - they have had a vaccine for a while now - hell, even cancer could have been cured a while ago, but that is not where the money is at.
Big business these drug companies - the biggest business of all: Government.

there is a HIV vaccine floating about they tested it out in Thailand, i'll get the link as soon as i can find it. However the vaccine is still in prototype stage so it is really hit and miss.

To josh shrouder: my comment is just a math-calculation.
Because of the amounz of % how many swedish or netherland people are coming and living in the US, and by the way I imagine I know more about America then the most americans about europe.
But jiust because I am very interested in every thing on this earth and also in the space.

I saw a documentary on this ! riveting . Worth a reread .

This means: about 0,1% of US- and/or canadian citizen must also be resistant.
Was it proofed?

WOW!

Interesting article, and a good find.

Is it because 10% of them have such bad teeth that finding a sex partner is not possible?

have to be honest here...the image is what brought my attention - dancing skeletons!? come on now - this can't be real....
postponing the article reading to a later date when advertisements and computer problems subside...

Very interesting, good find.

The winnowing process continues as we sweep the planet clean of thousands of species.

I posted this in the new group I just created, the Oldies but Goldies - for old articles and videos that are nonetheless very interesting and informative. You are welcome to join: http://current.com/groups/oldies-but-goldies/

Since most of the US population consists of people descended from European immigrants, I presume that there is a similar percentage among them that share this gene and resistance to HIV.
