A Real Must see....
I never post about things like this, BUT I found this so interesting. We watched a documentary called "The Origins of Aids" on the Sundance Channel. It is a documentary filmed after the book "The River" made the startling declaration that scientists accidentally created the Aids virus by using chimpanzee cells in polio vaccines. Those polio vaccines were then given to millions of Africans in the Congo and thus AIDS was born. Frightening to say the least and still unproven (spoiler alert! it looks really, really bad for the scientists involved....) but if you like documentaries, this one is excellent!
