In the Third World the classification of starvation as AIDS facilitates the substitution of harmful medical drugs for food. Jon Rappoport in AIDS Inc. gives evidence that in an insidious interconnection of interests between the chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, pesticide, war (and vivisection - Author) industries scientists have assembled a massive number of unrelated symptoms. Chronic headache, diarrhoea, fever, drastic weight-loss, malnutrition, paralysis and wasting away and called them AIDS.
The U.N. report that 60,000 children in Angola die in their first year and 100,000 before the age of five. The World Bank rates Zaire as the fifth poorest nation in the world and more than a third of its people die of malnutrition. In Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Ethiopia, Angola and Mozambique poor nutritional status, increasing population densities combined with inadequate water and sanitation systems, in areas sometimes ravaged by war and chemical weapons, have resulted in a resurge of highly infectious diarrhoeal and water-borne diseases that could be called AIDS. Rappoport says that:
"Attributing such illness and misery to the HIV virus (sic) will accomplish only one thing, a boom in the sale of pharmaceuticals."
To aggravate the situation in these poor African states preparations containing Dipyrone, Aminopyrine and Diiodogydroxyquin are sold over the counter. In addition one million infant deaths per year are connected to pharmaceutical baby formulas sold by Abbott, American Home Products, Nestles and Bristol Myers. Kwashiokor, an immune-deficiency syndrome caused by protein deficiency also shows the "AIDS" patterns, diarrhoea, malnutrition, fever, extreme weight-loss and wasting away.
"The commonest cause of T-cell immunodeficiency worldwide is protein-calorie malnutrition."
(New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 311, No. 15, 1984, page 1289.)
"Malnourishment and a general lack of medical services contributed to diarrhoea, tuberculosis and other African diseases that signify AIDS." which he describes as "... a rather vague clinical definition for a panoply of conditions."
(Myron Essex, AIDS researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health, in New Scientist, February 18 1988, page 27.)
