Article content WOW… #Jets QB Aaron Rodgers says that HIV was created by the US government.

‘The gameplan was made in the 80’s’

pic.twitter.com/otSVumvvHM — MLFootball (@_MLFootball) April 16, 2024 “Create a pandemic, with a virus that’s going wild,” he said. “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. “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 the f*** — I can read, though. And I can learn and look things up just like any normal person, you know. I can do my own research, which is so vilified, to even question authority.” He also posited that AIDS provided the game plan for how Fauci, who handled both health crises, and medical companies could profit from the COVID-19 pandemic. “That was the game plan back then: Create an environment where only one thing works. Back then, AZT. Now? Remdesivir,” Rodgers said, referencing an antiviral medication created in the wake of COVID-19.

Article content “And we know Pfizer is one of the most criminally corrupt organizations ever. The fine they paid was the biggest in the history of the (Department of Justice) in 2009. “Like, what are we talking about? We’re going to put our full trust in science that can’t be questioned.” He also alleged that Fauci had a “stake in the Moderna vaccine,” though the former NFL MVP offered no evidence to support any of the claims. This isn’t the first time that Rodgers can gone off on Fauci, who oversaw the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic under the administrations of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Recommended from Editorial ‘OUT OF CONTEXT’: Aaron Rodgers doubles down on Jimmy Kimmel-Jeffrey Epstein comments Travis Kelce declines vax debate with Aaron Rodgers after ‘Mr. Pfizer’ jab Last year, Rodgers challenged fellow NFL star and Pfizer spokesperson Travis Kelce to a debate about vaccinations. Rodgers said he would allow Kelce to team up with Fauci and the Jets QB would take U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kelce, who had a lot better things to do with his time, including dating Taylor Swift and winning the Super Bowl, declined the invite. Fauci stepped down from his position of NIAID director at the end of 2022 and has since joined the faculty at Georgetown University.
