European Crisis: Half of HIV Infections in Greece Are Self-Inflicted | Fox Business

"Greek citizens are infecting themselves with HIV in order to receive 700 euros in government benefits. "

I'm reminded....
A friend who studied economics had a prof show said.
"If you pay people to grow bananas, people will grow bananas."

But that makes sense. Bugchasing for money is kinda logical.


Normal bugchasing for the single purpose to get it isnt.

It seems strange... There's a lot of reassuring that it was an error going on here, and I'm not one of those conspiracy theorists but this seems a little off for an apology, doesn't it? Sort of as if they were payed to take it back?

Organizations like WHO will employ some smart people, but incompetence will
always emerge in any organization, especially one where politics plays a role.

That's true. But I was just noting how strange, for me at least, it was to how quickly they took it back, and especially how they did it.

They are probably doing that to be able to afford shisha drug. It is said that Greece is very quickly becoming a third-world country...the economic crisis is so bad!

....but if Greeks want to smoke bleach and other harmful chemicals to get high, they wouldn't think twice about infecting themselves with HIV to do it...and then kill themselves the other way.

It's only a 'means unto an end', where the end is death either way it goes.
