>From I've heard, there is a practice in many african countries to
declare AIDS as a cause of death, simply by symptoms. This is due
to a lack of medical facilities and money. This certainly inflates
the estimates of AIDS deaths; however, it doesn't destroy the 'viral
myth'. When one is trying to debunk a hypothesis, one shouldn't look
at the poorer measurements done, but at the good ones.
