Treat HIV/AIDS as a national disaster- Sata

Share

Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata has said there is need to take HIV/AIDS as a national disaster if the disease is to be effectively fought.

Mr Sata noted that at the moment the fight against HIV has been left to the Non Governmental Organizations the majority of whom he says are only making money out of HIV.

He said Zambia had Sexually Transmitted Diseases such as Syphilis which have been wiped out because they were handled nationally.

The PF leader urged government to realize that HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis are national disasters which need to be tackled nationally for it to be eradicated.

Mr Sata added that it was easy to wipe out diseases if they were handled nationally.

He was speaking when he featured on Joy FM’s the Platform.

  1. King Cobra used his venom to good use for a change.

    PS also send Rapid Testing Kits (20 min. results) to Rural Areas instead of the redundant SMS method.

  2. I hope he gets tested himself. His behaviour can not be said to help lessen the spread of this illness in our country. What is his stance on the use of condoms?

  3. Alot needs to be done on how to let people know how HIV/AIDS is deadly mostly those who have no access to the media, condoms should be a big part of it of this message.

  4. Sata should also lead by example. He evidently didn’t think of HIV/AIDS when he had off-springs outside his marriage. We cant afford people paying lip service to this problem, like some other presidents we know. People don’t get the seriousness when u don’t demonstrate the seriousness in your personal practice.:-?:-?:-?:-?:o:o:o:o

  5. At last, Mr Sata has contributed positively to debate Zambian issues. Welcome into the arena of the civilised and progressive people sir. Or, was it his wife who passed on the snipett? He was in government at the time the prevalence rate was 26% and now at 19% and falling he wants it to be an emergency? I agree with him though, because this disease has been treated with kid’s gloves. Had we been severe with ourselves in the late 80s and early 90s, i.e. made it a ‘notifiable’ disease (redefining the term notifiable) we could have got rid of HIV by now. But we had AIDS activists and ministers all refusing to go that way. Prevention by abstinence where a natural appetite is concerned cannot work. Obesity can’t be controlled by fasting!

  6. True BORN leaders would tackle even the most feared discourses in our Zambian communities.. Yes it is a national disaster and should be given real attention!

    No point in making expensive trips when we can use loads of that money to hands on fight this disease!

  7. Interesting reading to challenge your intellect.
    Most people believe that the origin of HIV, the AIDS virus, derives from some natural evolutionary event. Key among these HIV origin theories is the so called “cut hunter theory” in which a human, allegedly African native, received a bloody wound or infected splash while preparing a chimpanzee carrying a similar virus (i.e., SIVcpz). Most recent research, along with the scientific consensus, holds that the origin of HIV and AIDS could never have happened this way.

    In 2001, The Royal Society of London’s conference proceedings, which sought to determine the initial cause of AIDS and the origin of HIV, were published for the world to behold. The most highly respected scientists and academicians debated the possibility that HIV-1, the…

  8. The most highly respected scientists and academicians debated the possibility that HIV-1, the most widespread and deadly human AIDS virus, evolved from accidental vaccine contaminations and subsequent transmissions to mostly African villagers. The oral polio vaccine (OPV) received the focus of interest here since that vaccine was partially derived from growing live polio viruses in monkey kidney cells that have historically proven to be contaminated with cancer viruses such as SV40 — the 40th monkey virus ever discovered. This virus, like HIV-1, is currently linked by medical scientists to widespread human cancers. By the end of the symposium, the esteemed delegates concluded HIV’s origin, and AIDS, was not likely to have come from polio vaccine transmissions as chimpanzees were not…

  9. By the end of the symposium, the esteemed delegates concluded HIV’s origin, and AIDS, was not likely to have come from polio vaccine transmissions as chimpanzees were not proven to have been used during the manufacture of this vaccine

    The hepatitis B vaccine was not considered by this esteemed gathering. Suspiciously neglected, this vaccine was produced in chimpanzees during pilot testing conducted in New York City, among gay men, and Central African villagers between 1972 and 1974. This was precisely timed for the emergence of AIDS in these exact, demographically distinct, communities by the late 1970s. The fact that this fact was neglected proves shoddy science or gross negligence at best.

    Importantly, among the most respected of all HIV/AIDS origin theorists, the U.S…

  10. Importantly, among the most respected of all HIV/AIDS origin theorists, the U.S. Government’s chief DNA sequence analyst at the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico , Dr. Gerald Myers, reported with his colleagues that the origin of HIV could not have begun with “cut hunters” or other single isolated cross species transmissions (called “zoonosis”). He reported that genetic sequencing studies prove some “punctuated origin of AIDS event” took place during the mid-1970s giving rise, virtually simultaneously, to at least ten different HIV “clades” (or genetic subtypes) associated with ten different distinguishable AIDS epidemics in Africa alone. The most likely cause of this widespread bizarre zoonosis was some man-made (i.e., iatrogenic) event involving chimpanzees.

    Myers and…

  11. The most likely cause of this widespread bizarre zoonosis was some man-made (i.e., iatrogenic) event involving chimpanzees.

    Myers and his colleagues offered the following best explanation for the origin of HIV: “It is not far-fetched,” they wrote, “to imagine the ten or so clades deriving from a single animal (perhaps immunosuppressed and possessing a swarm of variants) [as might have been the case with chimpanzees used in the process of hepatitis B vaccine manufacture] or from a few animals that might have belonged to a single troop or might have been gang-caged together. The number of animals required is secondary to the extent of variation in the source at the time of the zoonotic or iatrogenic event. The [vaccine] hypothesis makes a case for such a punctuated origin . . .”…

  12. The [vaccine] hypothesis makes a case for such a punctuated origin . . .” (See: Burr T, Hyman JM and Myers G. The origin of acquired immune deficiency syndrome: Darwinian or Lamarchkian? Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. B (2001) 356:877-887.)

    So if chimpanzees were not used to make the polio vaccine, and therefore the origin of HIV and AIDS did not come from this vaccine nor time period (1950s-early 1960s), then what other vaccine, given during the early to mid 1970s, might have used one or more SIVcpz-infected chimpanzees in the manufacturing process?

    The answer to this question was singularly advanced by a Harvard-degreed independent investigator, Dr. Leonard Horowitz in the award winning book Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola — Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron Press,…

  13. Dr. Horowitz unearthed and reprinted stunning scientific documents and National Institutes of Health contracts proving that chimpanzees, contaminated with numerous viruses, were used to produce hundreds of hepatitis B vaccine doses administered to central African Blacks along with homosexual men in New York City at precisely the time Dr. Myers and colleagues claim the origin of HIV “punctuated event” occurred.

    Unfortunately, as another Royal Society conference presenter, Dr. Julian Cribb, protested, too little attention is given by drug-industry-influenced medical journals, and the mainstream media, to controversial truths in science regarding the origin of HIV and AIDS. (See: Cribb J. The origin of acquired immune deficiency syndrome: can science afford to ignore it? Phil. Trans. R…

  14. Dr. Julian Cribb, protested, too little attention is given by drug-industry-influenced medical journals, and the mainstream media, to controversial truths in science regarding the origin of HIV and AIDS. (See: Cribb J. The origin of acquired immune deficiency syndrome: can science afford to ignore it? Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond B (2001) 356:935-938.) As a result, documents such as those published by Dr. Horowitz, and others, showing AIDS apparently derives from contaminated hepatitis B vaccines, have never received adequate attention.

  15. Some more interesting reading that you may need to validate. The story begins in 1983 with Dr. Robert B. Strecker, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Strecker practises internal medicine and gastroenterology in Los Angeles. He is a trained pathologist and also holds a Ph.D. in pharmacology. Dr. Strecker and his brother, Ted, an attorney, were preparing a proposal for a health maintenance organisation (HMO) for Security Pacific Bank of California. They needed to know the long-term financial effects of insuring and treating AIDS patients. In as much as this information was not readily available in 1983, both brothers began researching the medical literature to learn what they could about this relatively new disease. The information they uncovered right from the beginning was so startling to them, so hard to…

  16. The information they uncovered right from the beginning was so startling to them, so hard to believe, that it would dramatically alter both their lives and lead them on a five year quest culminating with the creation of “The Strecker Memorandum,” the most controversial video tape of our time, and a remarkable set of documents called “The Bioattack Alert.”

    WHAT THEY DISCOVERED
    Right there in the medical literature for anyone to read for themselves was, basically, proof that the AIDS virus and pandemic was actually PREDICTED years ago by a world famous virologist, among others. They found that top scientists writing in the Bulletin of the World Health Organisation (WHO) were actually REQUESTING that AIDS — like viruses be created to study the effects on humans. In fact, the…

  17. They found that top scientists writing in the Bulletin of the World Health Organisation (WHO) were actually REQUESTING that AIDS — like viruses be created to study the effects on humans. In fact, the Streckers unearthed thousands of documents all supporting the man-made origin of AIDS. Meanwhile, the government was telling everyone that a green monkey in Africa bit some native and started AIDS. As their research continued, it became obvious from the documentation that the virus itself was not only created as requested, but actually DEPLOYED, and now threatens the existence of mankind because it does what it was designed to do: cause cancer in humans via a contagious virus. Eventually the Streckers came to realize everything the government, the so-called AIDS experts and media were…

  18. Eventually the Streckers came to realize everything the government, the so-called AIDS experts and media were telling the public was not only misleading, but out and out lies. The truth of the matter is: AIDS is a man-made disease; AIDS is not a homosexual disease; AIDS is not a venereal disease; AIDS can be carried by mosquitoes; Condoms will not prevent AIDS; There are a least six different AIDS viruses loose in the world; There will never be a vaccine cure; And on and on, but…One of the first things the Streckers did was to try and tell their medical and legal colleagues what they were finding in literature. Some were interested; most were not. Certainly no one was prepared to risk their professional standing by making waves within the establishment. Ted Strecker compiled some of the…

  19. Ted Strecker compiled some of the most damaging documents into a report he called “The Bioalert Attack” and sent it to every Governor of every state, the President, the VICE-PRESIDENT (now President), the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and selected members of Congress. He got a grand total of three replies from three governors; nothing from the government. Both he and Dr. Strecker were laughed at and ridiculed at every turn. As an example, Dr. Strecker told the government in 1985 that virtually every person testing positive for AIDS would die prematurely and painfully. The government said that was nonsense. Their figures showed that maybe ten percent at most would die from the disease. In 1986, the government said maybe 50 percept of those infected would die, in 1987 they said maybe 75 percent,…

  20. In 1986, the government said maybe 50 percept of those infected would die, in 1987 they said maybe 75 percent, in 1988 they finally agreed with Dr. Strecker that AIDS is virtually 100 percent fatal. We could go on with facts Dr. Strecker unearthed that the “experts” said were wrong and now accepted as the truth. Dr. Strecker, like a good scientist, submitted paper after paper with his findings to all the prestigious medical journals in America. They were refused. He then tried having his findings published in Europe. Again, closed doors. What to do? Dr. Strecker did not feel he could take the time from his practice and his research to write a book. On the other hand, everyone has a TV and now most households have a video cassette recorder (VCR). The time involved to make a video is…

  21. The time involved to make a video is nothing compared to writing a book, and so the video “The Strecker Memorandum” was created. It is 96 minutes of the most startling, controversial, and information packed video you will ever see. It disputes virtually everything the American public is being told by the government, the so-called AIDS experts and the media. In fact, after seeing it YOU will know more about AIDS than 99 percent of all doctors in America.

  22. What a breathe of fresh air. Mr. Sata finally talking about issues. On this one I totally agree with him. We need to treat HIV/AIDS as a national disaster.

  23. Compassion.
    You have carried the AIDS dissident views here very well. But, learn one thing. White people will NEVER ever apologise to black people for any atrocities they commit against them. Africa will never be compensated for what it has suffered. Recently, PM Brown apologised to white Australian Britons. There have been apologies to the ‘light’ skined Maori, but not so much to the darker Aborigines. I was vaccinated with ENGERIX Hep B vaccine in 1986. Shortly after that I had a ‘reactive’ result with HTLV3 test. I cannot prove it but the Hep B vaccine carried HIV genes somehow. What can we do now though? Let us cooperate. Get rid of stigma. Get rid of this once and for all and then open our eyes to national bio-security!

  24. Well spoken Mr Sata.
    Countries that have succeeded to reduce the infection rates, like Uganda and Botswana, declared AIDS A NATIONAL DISASTER. That done, all systems were go. When there is a disaster, the Disaster Management programmes are unleashed with the right hands on teams!
    Mr Sata do not forget to look for Dr Edwin Mapara in London, who was key in Botswana’s success AIDucation stories. If he could do it in Botswana, why not in Zambia!
    On this one Mr Sata, you have my vote!^:)^

  25. Normally I do not learn post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to check out and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, quite great article.
