If AIDS Went the Way of Smallpox
"Millions of children across Africa still die of measles simply because the vaccine doesn’t reach them,” said Barry Coleman, founder of Riders for Health, a British charity that buys and fixes motorcycles for African health workers. People with AIDS don’t need, he added, “another breakthrough that does not reach those who need it most.”"
It's not about children... it's about more money from the west to the crooks who control these scum countries.

Hello MuskegonPundit,
You have misconstrude Barry Coleman's remarks. As the founder of Riders for Health, I believe that he was referring to the cruel reality that too often breakthrough vaccines capture headlines and research funding without a regard for the serious challenge of how to get these medicines to those who need them most. Riders for Health offers a proven, workable, low-tech and effective solution with a program to ensure that the transportation for healthcare workers is available and reliable. This challenge is the same in all countries, poor and some not so poor. It has a great deal more to do with the inattention paid to how to get medicines and healthcare delivered to rural villages like those in Africa than a concern about making sure that money is not going to crooks.
