The technique involves suspending herve leger clothes
Each year 2.5million people are infected with the disease and herve leger clothes 2million die, about 70% of them in Africa, according to the Copenhagen center.
Marelize Gorgens, HIV prevention coordinator at the World Bank, disagreed with the economists, saying male circumcision is like a vaccine because it reduces the risk of infection by 60%.
“We need to spend money on things we know work,” Gorgens said.
The World Bank and the U.S. State Department support a major push for adult male circumcision. But the economists estimated the cost-benefit ratio for such circumcisions at 23:1. The economists said increasing annual spending on an AIDS vaccine by $100million would be a better investment because it could potentially eradicate the disease, even though the cost-benefit ratio, 12:1, is lower, Lomborg said.
Other improvements “are so cheap and effective” they jumped to the top of the list, he said.
Preventing mother-to-child transmission by treating HIV-positive pregnant women with medication and improving the blood supply had a cost-benefit ratios of 95:1 and 393:1, respectively.
A helicopter rescue crew took the injured climber, and his thumb, off the mountain using herve leger colorblock a technique park officials termed a “short-haul.”
The technique involves suspending rescuers from a line while the helicopter hovers ahead, with the rescuers taking the climber off the wall of the mountain.
“This was an incredibly technical and complex rescue mission with a lot of inherent risk,” said Yosemite Valley District Ranger Eric Gabriel.
“However, knowing that the thumb could be reattached, coupled with the confidence I have in my team, I made the decision to attempt this rescue. I was relieved, and thrilled, that this ended successfully and we were able to make a positive difference in this person’s life,” he said.
The climber was transported to another helicopter, then flown to California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, where his thumb was reattached, officials said.
Officials haven’t released any details about the man, except to say he is from Austria.
Monday’s rescue comes after three rock climbers were rescued last December after being stranded on the wall of El Capitan overnight. One of those climbers suffered moderate injuries when a rock hit her. The two other climbers were not hurt.
El Capitan’s vertical rock formation is considered especially challenging, attracting experienced rock climbers from around the globe. The National Park Service describes its vertical face as the world’s largest monolith of granite.
