Health,
You said,
“It wasn’t an assumption; if you read anything about Aids – you’d know it causes other things. You must have missed my post of -“There might not have been a diagnosis of Aids, but there was diagnosis of the opportunistic infections & Kaposi disease.””
Again, Those infections you mentioned where observed in a very diverse population over many years. It
Here’s a little crash course on the subject:
It is estimated that there were over 12 separate “spillover” events of HIV into the human population between around 1908 and the late 1960s, the first spillover either in or around The Congo.
When Congo declared independence from the Belgian Empire (1960) the only educated people in the Congo were Belgian (that’s how it was in many countries ruled by colonial governments) there were no Congolese doctors.
After independence the Belgians left so the UN sent in 4500 Haitian medical doctors and professionals to help the new country get off the ground (Haitian culture is similar to that of the Congo and they both speak French). Haitians were emigrating to the USA and Europe for a good 20 years before AIDS was recognized not to mention that thousands of Belgians had been living in areas where the disease had been spilling over from around 1908 for close to 50 years before emigrating back to Europe (and having contact with plenty more people that traveled or could travel to the USA.)
Now in the early 1970s a company named Hemo Caribbean was exporting between 5 and 6 thousand liters of blood a month that it bought off of improvished Haitians for use in medical products and blood transfusions. This stuff was not screened for HIV as no one knew what it was yet.
The blood came from an estimated 170,000 Haitians- any number of which could have been carrying HIV which by that time (unknown to anyone then) was prevalent in Haiti.
By the early 1980s when HIV was noticed in certain populations in the USA this thing was far beyond control. It wasn’t just a few thousand people that had to be tested and it wasn’t in a small area.
You should really read a bit about the subject of zoonotic diseases. It’s a fascinating subject and you should stop talking down to people who disagree with you when you aren’t familiar with the topic being discussed.
Regarding Ebola if a Travel Ban would not effectively keep Ebola out of the USA then it does not reduce the danger to American citizens.
