Isn't it weird how they say aids started in Africa but the first two documented cases were in new york?

It was unreported for a long time....a grad school professor of mine had treated a gay teenager in St. Louis. Mo. in the late 1960s. He died of unknown causes in 1969, but it was an immune disease. Years later, they re-tested and found that he had AIDS....so it was actually around for many years (even in the US) before the first cases verified in New York. Where it came from originally isn’t as relevant as the fact that it’s been around a lot longer than the “first documented cases” reported by the media.

@DragonFruit Aids came from monkeys like ebola and corona virus though the corona virus is more from a wild assortment of bush animals. Monkey's actually have a similar disease that's almost identical to HIV.

But yeah could have been entirely possible the two men who had it slept with someone who didn't actually know they had it and so on.

@SatanBurger aids was accidentally created by Dr Robert Gallo when he was trying to create a vaccines for hepatitis C. The vaccine he created was given to a lot of people in Africa and a few gay men in New York.

@WeighedDown No, that first originated from Facebook posts.

@SatanBurger no Alex Jones said that years before Facebook was even a thing. Around the same time he exposed Bohemian Grove before he was a mouthpiece for the extreme right.

@WeighedDown Well if Alex Jones said it, must be true. I'm sure the govt is turning the frogs gay. Hail Alex.

@SatanBurger this was in the 90s way before the gay frogs and he lost his credibility. He used to stand for something,

@WeighedDown Chances are he had mental illness long before.
