A second video getting a lot of attention shows Kennedy making wild claims about the beginnings of the AIDS crisis, blaming it on gay men and the use of poppers, an inhalant that relaxes muscles and generates a brief headrush and sensation of euphoria.
“There’s a lot of people that said it is not a virus,” Kennedy said. “The virus is a passenger virus, and these people are dying mainly because of poppers. A hundred percent of the people who died in the first thousand [with] AIDS were people who were addicted to poppers, which are known to cause Kaposi sarcoma in rats. And they were people who were part of a gay lifestyle where they were burning the candle at both ends.”
He claimed that many were injecting drugs.
"There were poppers on sale everywhere at the gay bars,” he said. “And there were a number of people in the [National Institutes of Health] who said, this is not a viral disease, but it’s a disease that is environmental and is being caused to people who are getting autoimmunity from doing these toxins.”
Kennedy claimed, “But for Tony Fauci, it was really important to call it a virus because that made it an infectious disease, and it allowed him to take control of it.”

OK if no one else photoshops Sirhan Sirhan's face onto Lupin the Third I'll have to
All are welcome under the big tent, unless they are to the left of Augusto Pinochet
The only real difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats prioritize maintaining empire over bigotry, and Republicans prioritize bigotry over maintaining empire. Both parties are quite happy to engage in both activities simultaneously, so long as the lower priority activity doesn't interfere with the higher priority activity.
This is like 40 years out of date, wtf. If you wanna be the next Trump you need to come up with something a little fresher.
Chuds are at the point where they get mad about no fault divorce and do a trans version of satanic panic, digging up conspiracy theories from the beginning of the HIV pandemic sounds about on point for these dinguses. They'll probably get upset about interracial marriage next.
I cannot wait for 6 months from now, when I find out which vague class of things, that have essentially no relationship to poppers, will be called "poppers".
Maybe a prescription medicine will become "poppers". Maybe unsupervised children will become "poppers". Maybe, I dunno, trans men buying cologne will be "poppers" the possibilities are endless when your culture is guided by geriatric reactionaries free associating on live television.
Buying "poppers" in the Castro, but it's just a pill containing the text of liberation: beyond pink and blue on microphis
Yeah I guess what's old is new again. I really hope the divorce and birth control stuff backfires on them, there's no way that doesn't seem insane to normies.
how do you even develop this particular strand of brainworms in the modern era
this is like becoming a conspiracy guy about the fall of rome or something jfc at least pick something from this century to be a dumbass about
also wall but that goes without saying
It’s like those rare strains of conservative chuds that are still ranting about being forced to buy low flow toilets and insisting the evidence that tobacco causes cancer is socialist propaganda.
If it's not a virus then he should be ok to inject HIV+ blood right? Prove us wrong RFK!
But seriously fuck this guy. AIDS has been devastating
It’s really cool that every politician has to have some dumbass take that demonstrates a below grade school understanding of the subject they’re confidently wrong about.
There's really nothing left to say about these senile monsters that hasn't been said over and over.
I'd save that wish for someone more consequential. He's gonna fall off out of the public eye faster than Gabbard and Yang did once Rogan stops fueling this shitshow. Come to think of it, maybe it should be better spent on the one person creating these news cycles...
HIV/AIDS was a USA lab leak.
How is it that the first person to die of HIV/AIDS got it in St Louis in the late 1960’s and died in 1969?

Supposedly the “patient zero” flight attendant brought it over to NYC in 1983.https://sites.google.com/antioch.edu/iatrogenic-timeline/home
Above link has a timeline of events of experiments with apes developing hep-b vaccines. They specifically sought out “subnormal” people to experiment on, taking a hep-b vaccine developed in chimpanzees and injecting gay men with it starting in 1973. And that is what is officially known. All taking place in New York.Studying blood draws from the gay medical Guinea pigs, they found HIV as early as 1979. Still no explanation for how it got to Robert Rayford in St Louis in the 60’s. He supposedly never travelled far from the city.
and now look into the connection of Jim Jones, the CIA, and CIA medical experiments, including HIVHIV experiments @ Jonestown and Jim sending gay followers to Haiti who slept with vacationing New Yorkers can’t be ruled out.
And found a United Press article from 1981 about survivors suing the CIA for their involvement (as if they were ever going to be held accountable).
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/10/14/Feds-CIA-conspired-with-Rev-Jim-Jones-suit-charges/6967371880000/Seems a really roundabout way to do it when there was open experimentation injecting chimp blood into gay New Yorkers from 1973 to at least 1979 testing a hep-b vaccine. Occam’s razor and all that. Could be both. :vivian-shrug:
