RFK Jr and Aaron Rodgers need to “shut up about AIDS”

Before beginning my summary, I would like to say that this is not a political endorsement—that is not my role here. However, regarding RFK Jr, I do believe that he is being treated unfairly both by the government entities that refuse to provide him Secret Service protection (what??) and by the legacy media attempting to smear him as an “HIV AIDS” denialist despite the fact that, even in his book, he stopped short of saying “HIV does not cause AIDS.” He simply presented the evidence, which I guess is enough of a problem for the establishment that they have to use their own interpretation of RFK’s statements against him.

After The Real Anthony Fauci, the very important volume written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was published in November 2021 by SkyHorse Publications (who also published my book), the legacy media (and even much of the so-called “alternative media”) has been suspiciously quiet about the fact that the HIV AIDS scandal features prominently in this volume… until recently.

The first media outrage I noticed regarding RFK’s alleged “AIDS denial” was the horror at Bret Weinstein’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. This happened in mid-February 2024, and it has continued. The intentions are clearly to paint RFK as a quack and therefore a candidate not to be taken seriously. (All I’ll say about that is: line up our three major options for President, and then ask yourself if RFK is really so unserious and unworthy of consideration as a candidate in comparison—assuming you vote, which is not an obligation.)

I’m sure I’ve missed many of the hit pieces (I know there are a few on Rodgers that I’ve not seen), but there are a couple more I’d like to address, for the historical record. In March, we also had an alarmist piece about the fact that “AIDS denialism is back.” This piece didn’t spend much time on RFK, but it did mention him, and his name appeared in the pull quote, for very obvious political reasons.

In April, we had the YouTube video from a channel called “Debunk the Funk with Dr. Wilson,” again addressing RFK and his “denialism,” which I covered here. Furthermore, yesterday I briefly covered the fact that the football player Aaron Rodgers does not believe the official HIV AIDS narrative. Given that Rodgers was at one point a name being bounced around as a potential vice presidential pick for Kennedy, I think that this is relevant.

However, the Rodgers pronouncement that “HIV” may have been cooked up by the government has spawned more coverage. The undertone of desperation is palpable even in the written word. Here is the piece that appeared yesterday on pajiba.com, a website with which I was previously unfamiliar, written by a Chris Revelle.

RFK Jr and Aaron Rodgers Should Shut Up About AIDS

I’ll keep my summary short, because there is really nothing new here. They begin by essentially stating that we know everything there is to know about “HIV”—it’s “no mystery.” Funny that the mechanism whereby “HIV” destroys all the CD4+ T cells in the body remains a mystery. Many theories have floated around, but none has stuck and none can be proven. Here we go; as always, emphasis is mine throughout.

HIV and AIDS are not mysteries. We know what they are and we know how to treat them. Once considered a death sentence diagnosis, HIV/AIDS is not only treatable, but it’s possible to make it undetectable and therefore untransmissable. Preventative prescription medications such as Prep are commercially available and help people living with HIV/AIDS […] We know how HIV is contracted and spread and we know the disease jumped from primates to humans in the early-to-mid 20th century.

I love how PrEP makes an appearance in the very first paragraph. (Was PrEP always the end game? I wonder. I wonder when the powers that be really knew that a vaccine for “HIV” would never eventuate.)

Furthermore, we “know” that “HIV” “jumped species in the early to mid 20th century.” Do we really? Has this been proven? I think not—remember Patient Zero? Early on, it was believed that “HIV” arrived in the 1970s. However, the completely static demographics—same prevalence of “HIV positivity” at 0.3% of the US population for forty years, as well as unchanging areas of demographic concentration—cast doubt on that assertion, because pathogens that are “extremely difficult to transmit” (as admitted by the mainstream itself) take a very, very long time to reach equilibrium in the population. Even the early 20th century seems too late—whatever “HIV” represents, it has been here for a very long time, yet AIDS itself was really at a crisis point only in the 1980s and early 1990s. If “HIV” has been here for 100 years or more, where on earth was AIDS before 1980? The “latent period” isn’t that long.

The article meanders along, taking shots at RFK by referring to him as “a raving lunatic with rather conservative values,” suggesting that he might be homophobic, and comparing him to Marjorie Taylor Greene, which seems a stretch—although they have both posted videos of themselves doing pull-ups online; maybe that’s sufficient.

Here’s the part where Rodgers is attacked:

Speaking of sound and fury signifying nothing, Aaron Rodgers opened his big dumb mouth and wedded together AIDS conspiracism with Covid-19 conspiracism to bring us this whopper: Anthony Fauci colluded with big pharma to create HIV/AIDS so that they could make lots of money off treatments and he’s done it again with COVID-19. The hatred for Fauci as some kind of Covid-era boogeyman is so fucking tiresome, isn’t it? The man did his very difficult job of tackling and addressing Covid only to be vilified for it. All that because the idea of masking or getting a vaccine for the safety and well-being of the larger community was so threatening to Trumpers.

So right off the bat, we have the ad hominem of referring to Rodgers’ “big dumb mouth.” Keep it classy, Revelle. This entire paragraph is meant to discredit Rodgers and Kennedy, yet it’s essentially adulation of Fauci. Also—like it or not, Trump is at least partly responsible for the vaccine rollout with “Operation Warp Speed.” He was not a Covid critic, at all.

Finally, we have Revelle pulling a Seth Kalichman and attempting to diagnose the two men:

If you asked each of these public dolts why they’re broadcasting harmful and untrue conspiracy theories, you’d probably get two different answers. As is the way of such deeply pathetic people who will do or say anything to be loved by conservative edgelords on the internet (see also: Elon Musk, Donald Trump), they both likely have some internal narrative that justifies this bullshit. While the impact of sharing this disinformation is harmful, I think these two public figures are disseminating these absurd “theories” because of the potent lure of the conspiracy theory. There’s a certain intoxicating allure to them: they can be one of the few who know the truth. They cast themselves as martyrs in a persecution fantasy in which they are Cassandras shouting the truth from the rooftops to keep it from falling under the heel of the new world order. It’s also telling that neither man can accept the simple truth of things and understand it was not some sexy shadowy conspiracy that allowed the AIDS epidemic, but human cruelty. It is not difficult to imagine either small-minded man seeking a more lurid and fanciful reality where they’re like Prometheus, bringing fire to mortals, consequences be damned. But trite, shallow-pool, weak-tea fantasy is all they have to offer.

I have no comment on this quote; I think it speaks for itself. The “potent lure of the conspiracy theory?” I wouldn’t call conspiracy theories alluring; indeed, most people prefer to buy the mainstream narrative because it is comforting to believe that there are people above us in charge, taking care of things, ensuring that humanity does not veer off course.

The article concludes with the following:

For all these reasons, both men need to shut the fuck up about AIDS. There’s enough misinformation and stigma out there without them adding more to it and that damage is not worth two bored rich men playing their cops-and-robbers games.

Now, again, they’re saying the quiet part out loud. If you dissent or disagree with any aspect of the HIV AIDS story, your role is to “shut the fuck up.” This is literally a blatant call for self-censorship; and, even worse, self-censorship around a scientific theory that has yet to be proven. (How big a leap is it from calling for self-censorship to just calling for censorship, period?) We all know why this is happening—if a true very public debate and reappraisal of the evidence had occurred (including in particular the “evidence” provided in the initial Gallo et al papers in Science that were extremely underwhelming, with fewer than half of their AIDS patients exhibiting any “HIV” associated genetic material) many uncomfortable paradoxes and truths would come to light. And this is why, from the moment the door slammed shut on the causation debate on April 23, 1984, at a press conference that happened before which any supporting papers had appeared in the literature, no real very public debate has ever occurred, despite numerous scientists skeptical of HIV AIDS that have demanded one, repeatedly. The Perth Group did debate very convincingly against the official HIV AIDS story in the BMJ debate, but this was hidden from the mainstream media, unfortunately.

At any rate, Rodgers’ “HIV AIDS denialism” is already causing a media stir, which may not end well for the HIV AIDS orthodoxists. The more hit pieces are published, the more the average citizen—especially the average post-Covid citizen—will become curious and begin to look into the issue. And once you’ve looked into it far enough, you cannot unsee what you’ve seen. As a mathematical mentor once told me, “Every theorem is trivial once you’ve proven it.” “HIV causes AIDS” may not be a mathematical theorem, but given that very true statement, it’s no wonder “HIV” appears so nontrivial and mysterious—it is not the true culprit in AIDS.
