Natural and iatrogenic factors in human immunodeficiency virus transmission.

In the light of the evidence and discussion presented during The Royal Society Discussion Meeting it seems to me that the oral polio vaccine (OPV) hypothesis for the origins of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome epidemic is less tenable now than one year earlier. The OPV hypothesis does not accord with HIV phylogenetic studies: the geographical correlation has been challenged; the testimony of those directly involved with OPV trial vaccines denies the use of chimpanzees, corroborating tests on the still-available vials of the CHAT vaccines, which contain neither simian immunodeficiency virus nor chimpanzee DNA. Yet one lesson to be learned from considering OPV as a source of HIV is how plausibly it might have happened and how cautious we need to be over introducing medical treatments derived from animal tissues, such as live, attenuated vaccines or xenotransplantation. To cast doubt on the OPV hypothesis is not to dismiss entirely the role of iatrogenic factors in HIV transmission from chimpanzees in the first instance, in HIV adaptation to onward transmission during its early phase in humans, or in the later spread of HIV to patients, for example, with haemophilia. To reduce the argument over the origins of HIV to the 'OPV hypothesis' versus the 'cut-hunter hypothesis' is an oversimplistic and false antithesis. Both natural and iatrogenic transmission of many retroviruses, including HIV, have been thoroughly documented and are not mutually exclusive. Exactly how, when and where the first human(s) became infected with the progenitor of HIV-1 group M, which gave rise to the pandemic strain, is likely, however, to remain a matter of conjecture.

East German political attitudes: Socialist legacies v. situational factors a false antithesis

This paper introduces the two main competing approaches that attempt to explain east German political attitudes in post‐unification Germany, the ‘situational thesis’ and the ‘socialisation thesis’. Furthermore, the paper suggests that these ‘either/or’ approaches are in fact inseparable and only make sense when taken together. Political attitudes in east Germany are influenced by the past, the recent past and the present. The result of both the socialisation process in the GDR and the traumatic transformation process following unification is weak civic participation and a lack of trust in formal institutions. Without trust and without a vibrant civil society, economic performance will remain low.

Is the development of a new British history of the early modern period a boon or a bane for those interested in the history of Scotland (or, for that matter, Ireland, Wales, even England)? Such a false antithesis we might normally confine to our examination papers; but it is difficult to avoid considering it after reading the five books under review here. Professor Burns has written a superb account of Scottish political thought in the long sixteenth century and Dr Coffey an equally successful exploration of the mind of the leading ideologist of the Covenanters. The collection edited by Dr Mason, which connects with the Burns study at several points, is explicitly a view of Scottish political thought focused on the Union of 1603, while that edited by Dr Robertson drops the particular emphasis on Scottish thought in its exploration of the intellectual context to the Union of 1707. Professor Speck presents us with a slightly different problem: a volume in a series on the history of early modern England that takes as the central theme of English politics in the decade 1700–10 the birth of Britain. Each of these books is rewarding, at the very least ; together their effect may be disquieting.

Unemployment and health: selection or causation ‐ a false antithesis?

Abstract Observations on the effect of unemployment on health include note that the clustering in certain geographic areas of low income, job insecurity and poor housing are the experience of the same groups of people. Considerable difficulties exist in isolating the different aspects involved. Nonetheless, it is argued (1) that the effects of each separate strand are dependent upon and reinforced by the others; (2) that it is possible to clarify the ways in which the elements interrelate; and (3) that it is the whole pattern that most satisfactorily explains currently available data on unemployment and health.

Childhood as a Social Problem: A Survey of the History of Legal Regulation

The state's regulation of parents' care of their children is currently a subject of some controversy in England. Drafters and enforcers of statutes are caught between contradictory demands: for the extension of intervention in the interests of children mistreated by their parents and for the deregulation of family life in the interests of parental liberty. As we have argued elsewhere, this is, in certain respects, a false antithesis.' Nevertheless, there are clearly grounds for dissatisfaction with present procedures for child care intervention which, we have proposed, result from the use of statutory provisions designed for one set of purposes to achieve different objectives.2 To be specific, English child care legislation is designed to protect adults from the threat represented by children who have not received an appropriate moral socialization. It is asked to deal also with children who are the victims of adult cruelty, indifference, incompetence or sexual attention.

Looking at evolution

I go along with Professor Lipson's uneasiness about evolution as a fully adequate hypothesis (see Physics Bulletin May 1980 p138). Nevertheless it would be a pity if the false antithesis between evolution and creation were to be revived.

Faith and Reason: a False Antithesis?

‘I can't believe that,’ said Alice.‘Can't you?’ the Queen said in a pitying tone. ‘Try again: draw a long breath and shut your eyes.’Alice laughed. ‘There's no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can't believe impossible things.’‘I dare say you haven't had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.’

Society's expectations of health.

Sir Edmund Leach argues that doctors in the modern world, fortified by the traditional concept that the life of the sick person must at all costs be preserved, are to some extent guilty of the false antitheses current today between youth and age. Moreover youth means health, age illness and senility. Until this imbalance is corrected society will be in danger of `a kind of civil war between the generations9. Society must be taught again that mortality cannot be avoided or conquered by medical science, and at the same time that `health9 is not enshrined in the young alone.
