In an article from NEWSWEEK (issue dated November 12, 2007 page 14) Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona, published research that catapulted him into the international spotlight. He stated that Gaetan Dugas, could not have been patient zero as previously thought (he was the gay flight attendant who slept with more than 2500 people).
Worobey suggests that patient zero that the Western strain first hitchhiked from Haiti to America around 1969 in the body of a single host. Worobey says, “Haitians are BLAMELESS for the spread of HIV. They were simply hit earlier." Many Haitians feel offended anyway.
Some people feel that HIV/AIDS was an "engineered" disease. They believe it to be a human cleansing tool created to control the population from over crowding the world.
How do you feel about Michael Worobey's research and do you feel that his research is correct? Do you think that HIV/Aids was engineered and by whom and do you feel that the HIV/AIDS "family tree" (where the strains descended from) is correct? Tell us here at TigahBee…the floor is yours…
