Jets QB Aaron Rodgers discusses HIV/AIDS epidemic

In an interview on "Look Into It" podcast, Rodgers seems to suggest the U.S. government helped create the HIV/AIDS epidemic in order to research new drugs. He said the epidemic was a “blueprint” for how the government would operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rodgers’ said, via The Daily Mail:

"Create a pandemic, with a virus that’s going wild,’ he continued. "Fauci was given over $350 million to research this, to come up with drugs, new or repurposed to handle the AIDS pandemic. And all they came up with was AZT," Rodgers continued.

"And if you do even a smidge of research — and I know, I’m not an epidemiologist, I’m not a doctor, I’m not an immunologist, whatever – I can read, though. And I can learn and look things up just like any normal person. I can do my own research, which is so vilified, to even question authority."

Rodgers tied the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the COVID-19 pandemic. Rodgers said the blueprint of the government is to create one long-term solution:

"But that was the game plan back then: create an environment where only one thing works. Back then, AZT. Now? Remdesivir," Rodgers continued, referencing an antiviral medication created in the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
