Why are HIV/AIDS conspiracy theories still popular

[Pimp]

It had to be man made. How does something come from nothing? It came from gays? So then that would mean two gay people that don't have HIV can get HIV just from being gay. It's population control and a big money maker for the white man. How does a disease come from nothing? If it wasn't man made then the world would be over.

So we're going to believe the story of Africans catching it by eating green monkey meat and then having it simultaneously appear on both coasts in both the black and homosexual communities on its own-- which happened to be two of the most hated communities by racists in power at that time?

A good percentage of cacs cant catch it

Link, please?

Black women are 4 times more likely to catch it

It popped up out of no where in the 80s

You could probably link that with the crack era (aka the needle sharing days) and the fact that our communities were hit the hardest

immunodeficiency = a weakened immune system (caused by any number of things)
AIDS = a specific disease that destroys your immune system (caused by HIV)

AIDS = Acquired, Immune, Deficiency, Syndrome.

when your T-cell count drops below 200 you die from other infections that your body can't fight off. the HIV virus can make that happen....but so can other things.

when that happens a doctor isnt going tell you that you have AIDS (because of what AIDS is advertised to be), but in fact you do have an aquired immunodeficiency.

So we're going to believe the story of Africans catching it by eating green monkey meat and then having it simultaneously appear on both coasts in both the black and homosexual communities on its own-- which happened to be two of the most hated communities by racists in power at that time?

@ bush meat.

10% of Europeans resistant to HIV

Tall you my boy and i usually agree with you but

exactly.

cats want to talk about 'conspiracy theories' and how unbelievable they are, but are quick to believe government stories...

like the tuskegee experiments never happened. don't you think they were denying that at the time?

have they found those wmds in iraq yet? The government would never start a war that cost hundreds of thousands of lives over a lie, would they?

or how about the cia spiking a french town's water with lsd?

Touche', my brother.

EDIT: That's definitely a curious quandary, but, not enough (IMO) to implicit the gov't in creating HIV/AIDS

I guess people who are born without immune systems (SCID) are born with AIDS according to you

a doctor won't tell you that you have AIDS because it's not AIDS
the definition of AIDS is not limited to the words in the acronym

So we're gonna dispute the worldwide consensus of scientists?


Let's listen to some YouTube videos instead

Had to search that one;

French bread spiked with LSD in CIA experiment - Telegraph

For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the Cold War.

People are quick to believe in conspiracies but question Africans eating bush meat?

Yeah it sounds crazy to us but people really do that shyt

Care to make a FEASIBLE scenario that a disease that was supposedly contracted by tribal africans eating monkey meat spread to AMERICA on both the east and west coasts and in the homosexual and black communities at the SAME time?

So what happened, some homosexual went and slept with an african tribes member, came back, populated the white homosexual community with this disease and snuck in the ghetto and slept with some black women too? Please show me a REALISTIC transmission pattern for AIDS.

United States admits scientists injected Guatemalans with sexually transmitted diseases - New York Daily News

The United States government has made the shocking admission that its 1940s-era scientists deliberately infected Guatemalans with sexually transmitted diseases - and even gave a dying woman syphilis.

The horrifying revelation was made this week by a panel commissioned by President Obama to investigate the dark chapter in American medical history.

More than 1,300 Guatemalans were given various STDs between 1946 and 1948 to see if the diseases could be treated with penicillin and at least 83 people died during the trials, the panel discovered.



The findings, some of which were revealed to the White House last year, prompted Obama to call his Guatemalan counterpart to apologize.

The scientists' methods were stunning even when considering the different medical ethics in the post-World War II era, according to the presidential panel.

"The researchers put their own medical advancement first and human decency a far second," said Anita Allen, a member of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.

The U.S. government paid for its Public Health Service to work with several Guatemalan government agencies to expose soldiers, prostitutes, prisoners and mental patients with syphilis, gonorrhea or chancroid.

Only 700 of those infected were also given penicillin. The trials did not yield any useful medical knowledge, according to medical records.

Though investigators cautioned that it could not be determined if the 83 deaths were caused by the tests, the experiments were unethical and indefensible, the panel concluded.

Several women who battled epilepsy and lived at a hospital in Guatemala dubbed "Home for the Insane" were injected with syphilis through the skull in an attempt to cure their condition.

Those women all contracted bacterial meningitis and nearly died, the panel revealed.

Another woman, already battling a terminal illness, was infected with gonorrhea in her eye - and she died months later.

The commission, which is expected to release its full report by year's end, drew a stark contrast between the Guatemalan experiments and those conducted in an Indiana prison in 1943.

The Indiana prisoners were volunteers who gave their consent to be infected by gonorrhea, while the Guatemalans were exposed to their diseases against their will, the panel said.
