- It is my understanding that all viruses mutate. This is why researchers
- can't find a cure for the common cold, why people have to be reimmunized
- for new flu strains every year, and why HIV is such a devestatingly
- frightening disease.

- Since this is alt.politics.bush, can anybody confirm or deny the following
- statement made by Bush? Paraphrased, "AIDS is not the government's
- responsibility. And AIDS will not go away until teenagers stop having sex."
- I'll restrain from letting loose on this one until I find out whether
- or not he actually said this.
