It has been reported that rinderpest has been eliminated totally from the earth. The elimination of rinderpest is an another in a very long line of triumphs for godless materialistic science.

The genetic roots of the measles virus is of rinderpest, developed between 11th and 12th centuries.

Makes me wonder how many of our persistent, human diseases are byproducts of man's long and dirty history with animals...

Quite a lot of them, including the AIDS virus which came into the human population out of the result of African hunters eating and possibly having sex with chimpanzees.

I'm 99% certain that you can't get aids from eating something. They don't call it a sexually transmitted disease for nothing. Smile

ETA: Oh my goodness. I Googled it. The results were horrible. The first one, "Can you get aids from eating animal cum?" What the fuck is wrong with people?

A bit of a tangent, but the article says that small pox was eliminated from the earth. I was under the impression that we thought it was eliminated, but the damn commie Russians kept some.

Also, why would anyone care to examine whether AIDS can be transmitted through eating animal semen?

Obvious reason is obvious. We need a vomit emoticon.
