«Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.» «Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet,» «It's true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq,» «We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare. In fact it (the HIV virus) is created by a scientist for biological warfare. Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious»Wangari Maathai, primeira mulher africana a receber o Nobel da Paz
