The above statement of Mario Goveia constitutes the shameless spreading of an intentional, malicious lie to insult those of us who have exposed the alarmist hoax perpetrated by him in this public forum. This statement of his also appears to be borne out of prejudice against the unfortunate folk who are suffering from AIDS and have become addicted to drugs. > >Thus, for an accomplished PREVARICATOR like >yourself, who spreads and supports falsehoods and >insinuations that there is no risk from infected >needles in public places, you have some nerve calling >me a liar. > It has become amply clear from the information provided by responsible governmental and non-governmental agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and AVERT, that the risk of getting infected with HIV from discarded needles in public places is extremely low. These agencies have not recorded even a single such case in the entire world in the last 25 years, i. e. since the first recognition of the existence of AIDS in humans. No public warnings or alarms have been sounded at any time by these agencies about any such risk from discarded needles in public places with specific regard to HIV/AIDS. > >"The rest of us are left to wonder why you and the >usual suspects that you are intellectually in tune >with were so bent out of shape at the simple common->sense suggestion that people watch their behinds when >they sit in a public place." > On the contrary, most reasonable people know that there is nothing commonsensical about sounding false or unnecessary alarms in public, and gratuitously exaggerating a miniscule amount of risk. In fact, such actions are considered to be irresponsible. Cheers, Santosh
