| Fauci: Comparing coronavirus and HIV is misleading |
| 2020-04-17 |
| [Arutz 7] - Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a senior member of the Trump Administration's White House Coronavirus Task Force spoke with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "We don't have a vaccine for SARS or HIV. Life went on, right?", Ingraham asked. Fauci answered unambiguously: "HIV/AIDS is very different. We have effective treatments. And SARS went away. So your comparison is misleading". "But coronavirus could disappear too", Ingraham continued. "These kind of viruses don't just disappear", Dr. Fauci answered. |

| #14 But wouldn't chastity belts be more fun? Maybe. Depends on how good you are with a feather. |

| #13 Why didn't we apply the same quarantine measures then as now? Because 'we' didn't care, then. |

| #12 Yeah, that isn't a good comparison at all. In fact, very misleading. |

| #10 Isolating the main effect population would have stopped the spread as well. Just as the reopening proposals for this event continue the isolation of elder care facilities. That's the point. AIDS is as much a political as a medical disease that shut down how you treat a communicable disease. Oh you can't do that to those people, but you can lock all of use down? |

| #9 Of course WuFlu is transmitted to the innocent nearby through no fault of their own. HIV/AIDS was transmitted through overt choices to commit the unsafe acts of unprotected sex and IV drug abuse. Simple lifestyle choices would have stopped AIDs in its tracks. WuFlu infects the innocent. |

| #8 AIDS isn't transmitted by air either #7 That what I said (#3) (AIDS = acquired immune deficiency syndrome. HIV = human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS). What you should ask Fauci is why chastity belts weren't made mandatory? |

| #7 AIDS isn't transmitted by air either, though the 'experts' said we could all get it. Read the 'sky is falling' reporting from the 80s. I just want a number comparison and I suspect - 1. AIDS will be overall higher, 2. This virus will lose count as other underlying diseases (and their government funded operations) finally reappear after being buried by 'classify any death as related to' starts to become too obvious. If AIDS is much higher the obvious question will be why the isolation protocol wasn't instituted among the main population group that lead to so many deaths. When the obvious answer to that comes out, public health officials who scream wolf will have undermined their own legitimacy. |

| #3 ^Well, HIV is not transmitted via air. |

| #2 Gates' buddy Fauci will just blow that off (like MERS, SARS-V1, etc.) as "something different". |

| #1 By the way doc, how many have died from AIDS/HIV? Just to compare to the body count we're running now. Why didn't we apply the same quarantine measures then as now? |
