A Pasteurian War Plan To Save Africa from AIDS

by Garance Upham Phau

Ninety years ago, the warriors on disease trained by Louis Pasteur, such as Eugene Jamot, vowed and fought to rid the African continent of sleeping sickness—and won. But today, the genocidal economic policies being applied to Africa are such, that even if a vaccine against the HIV virus were available right now, most people with the virus would die anyway of other diseases such as TB, leprosy, and kala-azar. It is time for us to return to Pasteur’s “total war” approach.

EIR’s Economics Staff presents a proposal for the major areas of concentration for such a “Third Way” for Poland.
