look, the covid bullshit is absurd and utter horseshit and we all know it - but comparisons like this just make our side look like complete idiots. HIV was not transmitted by air and thats the first thing anyone with a brain would say in response to this. when forming arguments to point out how retarded the covid situation is, they need to be better than this if you want any hope of actually changing even a single mind.
ya but posts like this frustrate me bc this sort of apples to oranges comparison just pushes away middle ground folks & make the covid truthers/antivaxxers look stupid or hyperbolic, which we arent. if people just want to use this as proof 3459039450345 of how fucked Fauci is, sure. but it cant be used to compare with an airborne flu virus. bc for the first few months of covid we also didnt know how serious it was. but we are WELL beyond that so using the first few months of HIV to compare to 1 year+ in of a flu virus is not comparable.
At first, it was not known what was killing all the gay men. There was TONS of fear, especially within the gay community. Then, Magic Johnson caught it and it set off another panic, because he was heterosexual. He quit basketball and there was a national debate.
Social Media, MSM and corrupt Pols and Bureaucrats and a Global Fear mongering narrative are the difference. With those in place back in the 80's, the fear campaign may have exceeded Covid hype.
Judging by the condescending tone of your post, there is no ‘side’ other than your own. We went quite awhile with guys like Fauci claiming you could catch HIV from a toilet seat before we learned otherwise. If hindsight were 20/20 you’d be a fucking genius.
that still isn't air. you can get covid or a flu by simply breathing the same air as a stranger next to you in the grocery store. getting defensive over your poor analogy doesnt affect me or do you any good. I'm in LA, I am SURROUNDED by liberal idiots. I know exactly how they think & what they say to negate things & the quietly curious middle ground people see stuff like THIS absurd post and roll their eyes & think our side is hyperbolic and ridiculous. this is apples to oranges and if you want to make a good point it needs to be apples to apples.

That was my first thought as well, but then I remembered that we didn't know how it was spread or what was going on for at least several months.
Sure, maybe not a perfect comparison. But it's a valid one if you know the history.
If you lived through the first months and years- you are right. We didn’t know for sure how it was spread at first.
And then Fauci pushed that you could get it from toilet seats or spit or sweat..
He was always big on using fear for his fame seeking

It was all bullshit now that we see magic is a big degenerate who got it through gay sex… look at his son… clearly passed around. Sick
