Because Truvada and Prep are marketed to gays. The majority of gays have been brainwashed so much that they don’t question anything from the government and media. They think they must follow the mainstream and their peers. Despite the acceptance of homosexuality, most straight people don’t care what is going on with Truvada and Prep because it doesn’t concern their personal health unlike COVID.
I would characterize it as anti-human rather than homophobic. My sense is these people pushing anti-human policies select particular demographics they believe they can negatively influence at an emotional level, and then push out a continuous narrative through entertainment/media/sports/academia/etc. which members of that particular demographic gradually absorb until that narrative becomes a core belief. No demographic is safe from these fiends.
That said, my characterization fails to explain the behavior of someone like Fauci who just seems to be an uncaring bastard who will harm anyone in a quest for fame and fortune or some unknown motive.
Do the narrative drivers understand that pharmaceutical use will harm millions, or is profit the motive? Someone said that once someone has so much money that it becomes a non-consideration, the only thing left to seek is control of others.
Sadly and incomprehensibly true, despite the powerful legacies that critical gay AIDS thinkers like Michael Callen, John Lauritsen, or Joe Sonnabend have left us. So different from black people who have also been the victims of the AIDS disaster, and who have maintained a critical position.
Most so-called critical thinkers know exactly how far to go in their critical thinking without going too far. Thus, they will criticize a "rushed" vaccine, as if an old vaccine is safe; or a "draconian" lockdown, as if a narrower lockdown is legal or moral; or an "exaggerated" pandemic, as if a pandemic is even possible; or a "dangerous" antiviral, as if an antiviral is not a category error presuming that viruses exist. I despair of reasoning with almost all of them, many of whom who are here in Substack posting nonsense about monkeypox, another fake virus and cover story for iatrogenic harm, or about HCQ/IVM.
Today's comment is brought to you by the term: TANGENTIAL THOUGHT.
THE RESULTS ARE IN: 9 out of 10 researchers don't want to be defunded!
"WHICH" critical thinkers are we talking about? Those who mention HIV AIDS are dismissed from any conversation that could have influence.
I agree that the Truvada PreP demographic is mostly gay and therefore too small a percentage of the population for the mainstream to care about. As far as society has evolved, there is still a significant, albeit silent stigma that goes with being gay or too close an association.
In the '80s, in The Journal of Public Health Policy that Dr. John Bennett, the CDC's central coordinator for AIDS and AIDS Task Force chairman, told him: "Don, they rejected the plan. They said, 'Look pretty and do as little as you can.'"
There was originally a lifestyle vs contagion debate. Regan wrote in his journal that perhaps AIDS was God's way of telling some people to modify their behavior. The only way HIV AIDS was sold as a public health emergency was convincing (scaring) the administration that this new sexually transmissible fatal disease was about to spread through the heterosexual community.
ONLY IT DIDN'T. It stayed within the original risk groups. Contagion doesn't behave this way. It doesn't pick and choose who it infects based on some moral edict. Certain and variable co-factors need to be in place to create the perfect storm which allows "it" to take hold. Those co-factors in general are not found in middle class suburban households. Nor is an Acquired Immune Deficiency. Conversely, fibromyalgia, lupus, and prostate cancer are rarely found in the gay male community.
People pay lip service because it's expeditious to extricating themselves from a controversial conversation they don't want to be involved in while not alienating (in the immediate) whomever they're pretending to be in agreement with.
The reality of human nature is that most people will do almost anything to avoid the humiliation of ridicule and all that goes along with it.
Unless one's life is negatively affected, or is going to be in a demonstrable way, there no motivation to get involved.
Exactly the opposite.
To speak out carries a severe threat to the comfort of their lives. Examples have been made of the most eminent researchers in their respective fields, to show that credentials and facts cannot protect anyone who puts forward a public view that could derail the money train.
This keeps "mainstream" critical thinkers on script and from getting too close to the fire. Stoking that furnace risks at one end, getting singed, at the other, self-immolation by way of career destruction, ostracization, being labeled QUACK, DENIALIST etc. and hung out to dry.
And THAT, is where you will find TRUE critical thinkers, preaching to the choir in public forums that "mainstream" minds may read but don't dare to mention let alone a sliver of credence.
There was a time more than 50 years ago when I would pray to just be average. No big extremes. Not always being the only one in the classroom who saw an issue different than everyone else and voiced that POV. I got used to being called names from grade 1. "The Faggot" was added in grade 7.
At some point I had to accept the status quo never has and never will apply to me. It was that or suicide.
So true! Try to think and speak critically AND logically about "HIV", and you're met with rabid hatred and indignantion. Gay men (of which I am one) cling to this paradigm like a crying child hangs on to a teddy bear. What's "funny" is if you replaced "HIV" with cancer or heart disease and used the same types of evidence (faulty original data, inconclusive and non specific tests, no correlation, etc), I'm willing to bet that a majority would embrace it and ask for further explanation and discussion. The gay male obsession with "HIV" is very strange and sad. Critical thinking, at least from my experience, has left the building, replaced by hysteria, emotional blackmail and BIG PHARMA'S looming shadow.
A short response would be that the recent 'rollout' is a more obvious assault on bodily autonomy than a 40 year steady incrementation.
The implantation of the recent 'rollout' has been a shock doctrine with noticable conflicts of interest whereas in the 80's only a limited number of people in the know spoke out about the injustice.
You have to admit that the perveyors of Prep and other retained in care interventions do a very good job of convincing people. The whole process has led me to understand the meaning of true evil. I am becoming aware that the devil speaks with the voice of an angel and that most people have an preponderance to listen!
As you as acutely aware. As soon as you raise you head on this matter, you become a magnet for all manner of attack.
My pessimistic conclusion is that as AI and digital ID are developed, the rising number of 'denialists' will be silenced.
I think it's because Prep medications aren't mandated to the general public like the COVID jab was. The mandate was criticized as much or more than the jab (my opinion).
I don't pay attention or have interest in any drugs. Modern medicine is a scam. Natural medicine is God's nature. I read the little known "The Essene Gospel of Peace" written by the Essene people at the time of Christ who was an Essene. He gave beautiful words of wisdom about life and health. Virtually none about "religion" or "medicine". I am a 72 year old man. Six years ago I faced heart and knee surgeries. I declined and started learning. My health is 100% now. I take no medicines and have no health issues. My recent CRP test score (C-Reactive Protein test for whole-body inflammation) was 0.1 where normal is 1-3 and optimum is <1. THe lab said they had never seen such a low score - ever. I am an avid and excellent golfer again and I run a lot. How is this possible? I never eat close to or after sundown. More specifically I avoid having ANY "excess circulating glucose (ECG)" in my blood as the sun is setting. See the youtubes of Dr. Satchin Panda (Salk Inst) esp'y interviews by Dr. Rhonda Patrick in late 2017/18. HE answered Dr. Patrick's hypothetical with this shocking answer: "Sadly it is BETTER to eat an unhealthy meal during the day because eating later in the evening turns even NUTRITIOUS food into junk." ECG causes inflammation first to the one-cell endothelial lining of all blood vessels CONTINUOUSLY ALL THRU THE NIGHT. Why? THe pancreas goes to 'sleep mode" as the sun sets and doesn't release insulin to get rid of the ECG. Note science knows that the blood-brain-barrier does not protect the brain from inflammation coming via the blood. Think about that. 2 years ago I told this to a stranger. He found me 4 weeks later to tell me this: "I listened. I am age 73 and a Type II diabetic for 20 years. I take insulin often. When I got home that day I figured I had nothing to lose. I have tried everything to improve my health all to no avail. AT THE END of the first week I realized that my AM glucose EACH morning was LOWER than the prior morning. THat was VERY DIFFERENT and motivated me. I am hear to tell you that my glucose this morning was 78 (normal). I haven't seen such a low number in a VERY long time." True story. "Inflammation is at the root - cause and/or effect - of all illness." To your health. RCS if you want to know more, please reply. WOuld love to give you the entire story and more on Christ's wisdom. WOuld make an outstanding article. I am a freak of health at age 72.
Thanks for asking, Rebecca. My sense is that they probably were thoroughly brainwashed, like so many of us, about the HIV-AIDS scam 40 years ago and then internalized its narrative. When the Covid scam came around, it was so "in your face" and with such extreme impacts on everybody that many were able to question it, but may not have taken the time or made the effort to go back and re-think how we were also deceived about HIV.
I'd particularly invite the courageous and admirable medical professionals and epidemiologists who have spoken out about Covid and the jabs to take an honest look and also speak out about the fraudulent HIV narrative--people like Jay Batthacharya, Meryl Nass, Peter McCullough, Paul Marik, Pierre Kory, John Ioannides, Sucharit Bhakdi, Wolfgang Wodarg, Aseem Malhotra, Suzanne Humphries, Paul Thomas, etc. etc. etc. This is especially important and relevant now with the heavy marketing of PrEP.
First, what is a critical thinker? Someone who understands that many of our preconceptions are not true? Personally, I was in my 30's before that understanding occurred to me, and even after investigating many of those preconceptions and determining them to be untrue, I still remained one among many, which was an uncomfortable position.
So, it seems, an inate stubborness is required to hold an uncommon, even when true, opinion. Thus, a critical thinker is a subset of a population who understands his preconceptions may not be true, a further subset who takes the time to investigate those preconceptions, and a further subset who is willing to hold opinions which are not widely believed or accepted.
Combine that with a false narrative machinery developed over many decades which both inserts false conceptions into nearly every source of influence in our lives, while simultaneously suppressing any information questioning those false conceptions, and I guess it's no surprise that most live lives of deception that bear little resemblance to reality.
Without this column, I would be unaware of the problems of Truvada and PrEP (thank you, Miss Rebecca,) and that is even coming from a Big Pharma background which led to my understanding that all pharmaceuticals have toxicity and are harmful. Would this column's information regarding the problems be permitted on YouTube or social media? Likely not, which confirms the suspicion that we are in a war fought primarily with false information instead of weapons (though "law enforcement" is certainly called in when too many who question the false information gather.)
How many of one's preconceptions is even the critical thinker willing to question? That "covid" vaccine was easy because the evidence of those harmed was all around us. Beyond that issue, the number of questioned preconceptions shrinks dramatically, particularly among preconceptions which effect relatively small demographics as is the case with Truvada and PrEP. Thanks, again.
Interesting experiment. With current implementation of AI, a stopwatch would likely be required to accurately measure the life of such a video.
But that video would be a valuable addition to video platforms which do permit such content. And it might be seen by many who are otherwise unaware of the issue.
Like what's been mentioned below, most people don't think 'AIDS' is something that affects them (which is true), it's just the gays. Despite a decades-long marketing push to try and make AIDS affect everyone, the fact that it's not something that really worries most people is quite the incrimination of the paradigm. That the problems with PrEP aren't in the awareness of most people is part of this, 'it's been solved and doesn't affect me'. Except it is, because PrEP is part of the larger medical model of medicalizing everything.
To the point about Covid not making already skeptical people skeptical of 'HIV', I think it's part of this 'it doesn't affect me' thing. I honestly still can't grasp why the LGBT community broadly just clasps onto this. It's likely fear.
Alexis do Toqueville wrote, 'It is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth.' 'HIV' is a simple lie that's easy to accept on the face of it.
There's a-lot of controlled opposition out there. Once you figure out both are psyops using the same MO, with 'covid,' they got a-lot of controlled oppo in ahead of the game. A good litmus test is how people like Del Bigree won't go near the AIDS chapters of RFK Jr's book (an observation Ron Unz made).
I also do think there is a-lot of anti-gay sentiment because the way Covid rolled out, it was those on the right who were allowed to be skeptical, causing those on the left (including official good gays) to dig in. Among gay men, I am a pariah for questioning both 'covid' and 'hiv,' but if I try to bond with people skeptical of 'covid,' they say some pretty mean anti-gay stuff.
Because Truvada and Prep are marketed to gays. The majority of gays have been brainwashed so much that they don’t question anything from the government and media.

Excellent point and I think that’s likely part of it. The HIV AIDS story is soooo homophobic.

Just some thoughts. Thanks for the post.
It's a divide-and-conquer eugenics plan.
Yes.

I do wonder though how many people have actually even encountered the "no virus" position and evidence.

I’ve actually thought about recording a YouTube video about the Truvada disaster just as an experiment to see how long it gets to be taken down. Hmm…
Interesting experiment. With current implementation of AI, a stopwatch would likely be required to accurately measure the life of such a video.
But that video would be a valuable addition to video platforms which do permit such content. And it might be seen by many who are otherwise unaware of the issue.
I’m seriously considering this.
Changing paradigms is hard.

It's due to the principle of self-preservation.
Monkey see no thing, monkey hear no thing, monkey speaks no thing.
Too many monkeys, some even wingless, in this weird business of denouncing injustice.
There's a-lot of controlled opposition out there. Once you figure out both are psyops using the same MO, with 'covid,' they got a-lot of controlled oppo in ahead of the game.
