    I suspect that, Trump’s people being homophobes and Nazis, they (1) still think HIV is a “gay disease” and (2) are trying to kill as many LGBTQ+ people as they can.

    In short, yes.

      RFK will be the new boss of the CDC through his health and human services appointment. He believes that HIV does not cause AIDS. He believes AIDS comes from recreational drug use, a topic he should know a great deal about.

            Nice comprehensive list of this nurgle follower. I wish I could give him the benfit of the doubt because he said “sole cause” cause maybe other stuff does too but he is such a pos I have to assume he meant being poor is second cause. He does grandpa Nurgle proud.

            Kennedy also has a long history of peddling AIDS denialism conspiracy theories, which falsely claim that HIV does not cause AIDS.

            He lamented that “any questioning of the orthodoxy that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS"

              These “unorthodox” ideas about AIDS have been around since at least the early 1990s, and probably the 1980s. If only there were 4 decades of research we could draw on to decide whether they’re a load of contrarian nonsense.

                A virus the multiples using white blood cells causes aids? No that can’t be it’s being gay.
