AIDS Aids

Since God so loves the poor that He habitually commends them to the care of those least inclined to help, it should come as no surprise that He has visited the consequences of a rich manbaby's meanness upon those least able to withstand them. A hundred days after the Trumpster administration froze aid to eastern Africa, the human immunodeficiency virus is making fine entrepreneurial headway: recovering from recession in adults who are infected, and increasing its share of the market by spreading to the children of newly unmedicated mothers. A report by Physicians for Human Rights (an organisation whose very name renders it doubly contemptible to the political mainstream in the Free World™) looks with Communistic disapproval towards a future characterised by increased medical costs for the little people and increased opportunities for practitioners who are unencumbered by such outdated scruples as first doing no harm. It is to be hoped that eastern Africa can regain its moral sense and implement Christian solutions such as celibacy and a ban on blood transfusions before the suffering starts to seem unnecessary.
