Hiv to Sam ohoi
To manage the cycle of
information which does not die easy – especially with the pandemic that took
American by storm, some of the early claims about earlier (viruses) or
infections need to be drawn, part of which is how and to what extent the virus
defies the system. Perhaps in this account, some of the general definition on
the virus leads us to emphasize the commitment of its earliest scientist to
finding a cure. There is nothing displaced about champions such as Watson and
Crick, for instance, these men were alive at the time of the pandemic and
struggled to provide the answer but how the virus took a shine off their
brilliance has not been well discussed, above all, how some of their drives
with HIV provided paved the way for other experiments. The shift in the focus
of the study of HIV is perhaps due to other civil strife. It is worth the time
to return to the early years of the pandemic and pull straws on what the
Scientist did, when and how. Accounts of the DNA discoveries (A) James Watson
(b) Francis Crick is still popular – so also the story of the Alpha Helix, the
accounts on Haemoglobin and the accounts of Linus Pauling including his work on
Sickle Cells, HPA 22 Insulin (Diabetes), Insulin – including the work of
Jacques Monod and his E. Coli Phage Diabetes – some of which is reach back to Oswald
Avery (S-strain, Streptococcus, E Coli Phage Virus,..) part of which is the
story of Vaccination leading in case to John
Enders, James Salk, Albert Sabin, Tuberculosis….The standard techniques for
studying new pandemics is not unknown, but the relevant questions are still
useful, that is, what happens or happened during periods of epidemics such as
flu-virus? How does that relate to pandemic such as EBV or in our studies, HIV?
How does the story of Polio and period of cold virus prove a point of interest
for those who ventured into Africa in search of the origins of HIV? Since the
scientist driven from their home land, and write back to the States, where
these scientist interested in major themes on HIV or he experiment with
vaccination proved a point for evolution and studies in anthropology. HIV is argued
to have origins in other creatures and remains for many of us a point of dissent.
The theory has political stay, and there are few believers in that such
theories on Zaire strain, may be correct, fewer will accept that perhaps the
African dissent on the origins of HIV is perhaps misleading - if not untrue. The
role of enzyme in the blood is important – the role of oxygen in the blood is
also important, but the link to thymus and link with E Coli phage bacteria or
sugar mulching prophage may yet gain acceptance. The profligate behavior of
E.coli naturally involves the reduction of sugar – they feed on sugar molecules
thereby preventing the normal molecule structure of the Carbon ( ) DNA especially thymus.
