When I read that a certain personality died and I see 'after a long ilness' I know its AIDS. I guess I'm missing your point. I just thought you were treating the millions of 'accidents' in Africa in pretty flippant fashion.

Just pay attention and you'll see. See what ? That folks like Elizabeth Taylor make a big production about AIDS research because their friends are dying of it ? Who cares. Those folk in Africa won't care why we have a vaccine. Just that we have one. I think those African cases merit more focus than incidental accidents.

Health officials here openly concerned they are losing control of SARS and it may start appearing in general public shortly.

Those are what I called accidental.

Even that number is like 5% of the population and it is an underestimate as they don't count those that haven't been diagnosed. In countries like Botswana, Zambia the rates are very high and life expectancy is falling. I wouldn't call that accidental.

Medical injections are likely implicated too in spreading the disease in Africa. In China blood donations with dirty needles.
