Oh, sure, the fact of the correlation (which has been known for years, I think, among those watching such things in Africa) is interesting and, for many people, important. But that's not to say that ecochildsplay.com, or whoever wrote their piece, aren't utter fruitcakes. (Doesn't say they are, either, of course. But see below.) > This new statement is pretty significant -- that you can actually > protect against AIDs. (AIDS, actually; it is not a plural.) Yes, you can. That's been known for a long time. Most of the regimens that protect effectively are things, such as sexual abstinence, which are difficult to get large populations to engage in enough to matter. I find the summary in the Subject: somewhat questionable, though; what I've read about the subject has been from parts of Africa where AIDS is endemic, and has indicated that the protection, while statistically significant, is not all that good - certainly not enough to rate "very effective". Perhaps I'm just behind the times, but in view of the other indications I find it more likely that this is fruitcake reporting, or fruitcake massaging of someone else's reporting, or some such. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
