Fake news in evidence even then: according to Kari Mullis, there WAS no AIDS epidemic. It was a readily explainable consequence of the drug / party / gay lifestyle that the majority of AIDS victims were participating in. There was never a single paper proving that HIV even existed. Fauci and his crew were busy inventing this entire concept of 'virus research' narrative. They needed HIV to become scary to the heterosexual community, to get the continued funding and so that it would be declared a health crisis. The plan worked.
