Yes, indeed it would. The conditions for the spread - or arrest - of the disease would no longer be a process of natural selection, but one of social
preparedness. The high mortality among AIDS sufferers in southern Africa, for example, or the spread of Malaria there, while Italy and Florida is free
of it, is not due to evolution, but social evolution.

CB; This isn't natural selection unless the whole human species goes extinct from these diseases, is it ? Natural selection has to do with the origin and extinction of _species_, not subpopulations of species.
Talking about selection for and against subpopulations of humans is a giant step into social Darwinism, and potentially racism. It promotes the competition between subpopulations of the human race. This is where racism and social Darwinism combine.
