Cancer Cured By HIV

Apparently cancer has been cured, by injecting people with HIV. From the article, "As the white cells killed the cancer cells, the patients experienced the fevers and aches and pains that one would expect when the body is fighting off an infection, but beyond that the side effects have been minimal." Nifty. Poorly edited run-on sentence, but nifty.

    • It's all about the immune system and what it can adapt to and fight off.
      White people have a particulary strong immune system with a long history of surviving plagues caused by human stupidity -- basically unsanitary water and rat infestations carrying the flees of bubonic plague.
      Cats were considered Satan incarnate in those days.....
      I read a study years ago that 10% of western Europeans are immune to HIV because of a history of plagues.
      How nice it must be to survive because of constant exposure to filth!
      How proud we white people are for becoming tolerant to disease.
      Hey, but if we can cure the cancer we cause, what does that mean?
