Downgrading the H1N1 influenza scare
Since swine flu appeared in April, the world has been bracing itself for massive outbreaks and now the WHO says a third wave may be ahead - but actual deaths are below the average for regular seasonal flu. This world-class epidemiologist puts the plague that never was into perspective - and wonders why so many health authorities suggest washing your hands as a preventive measure.
Political Correctness Undermines AIDS Fight
The biennial AIDS conference ended in Mexico on 8 August with calls for more money and promises to spend it better but UC Berkeley’s James Chin explains why much of that money will be wasted until the AIDS industry honestly accepts the facts: by targetting general populations at extremely low risk, AIDS programs are wasting money that should be spent on high-risk groups.
Get Real About AIDS
UNAIDS has systematically perpetuated myths about the nature and scope of the AIDS pandemic in order to keep the disease high on the political agenda. As a result, many billions of dollars have been wasted on prevention programmes that have no basis in science.
UNAids, beware of crying wolf
The UN agency coordinating global action against AIDS has reluctantly admitted that it had overestimated India's AIDS figures by more than half - following numerous similar exaggerations worldwide. Crying wolf is neither good science nor good politics.
Myths on AIDS prevalence
HIV prevalence estimates in many Asian countries have been grossly overestimated - particularly those of India. Only with more accurate HIV estimates and projections can limited resources be allocated to the right people in the right places.
Myths about AIDS pandemic must stop
The story of HIV has been distorted by organisations such as UNAIDS and by AIDS activists in order to promote their own agendas.

AIDS: epidemiology vs. political correctness
Following comments from readers of his Political Correctness Undermines AIDS Fight printed in Kenya's Daily Nation, saying his statement about African sexual habits was racist and without factual basis, James Chin replied: This is a very pertinent question and I wish I had been able to address it properly in the article. The complexity of the data meant there was no space: the issue deserves an article to itself and I devoted Chapter 5 of my book "The AIDS Pandemic: the collision of epidemiology with political correctness" to explaining the research (much of it by Kenyans). The shortest summary is that it is a question not just of numbers of sex partners (and a number of readers have commented on the level in the USA) but of simultaneous and connected partners, what in epidemiology we call a network ...
