Ngl a guy clapping monkey cheeks as patient zero is way funnier
Lmaooo it is. Luckily, it’s untrue.
Show me patient zero. You can’t.
Both theories are plausible and there has never been a study done on HIV contracted through cannibalism or eating the flesh of chimps. It’s likely that blood to blood contact was the source, but it’s an unprovable theory. It’s not a fact, we will never know. Being definitive on this seems a bit pretentious. I would have preferred be said it was unlikely, because that’s the truth.
It could be both, in the past when there was no global travel the transmission can happen to new isolated tribes hundreds of times. There can be thousands who were the patient zero of their civilization. So some may be because of blood, some may be because of... yah know...
But I have no doubt that the blood contact is a far larger part of those patient zero's than the other options.
How do you know for sure that that isn't how it crossed the species barrier?
Its probably the reason why aliens don't invite Earth to the cool parties the rest of the universe got invited to
It’s thought to be untrue, we don’t have a certain patient 0
True, I'm sure those monkey hunters got lonely.
The things humans have fucked…
I think they don’t like the contraction through sex Theroy because it can be used to push homophonic rhetoric
Still, that man is lying saying we have any definitive proof it was from eating flesh vs sexual contact. We don’t have patient zero
I'm not saying you're wrong. This guy brings up monkeys, goats, cats, prehistoric stuff before humans. If ancient humans got busy with Neanderthals I have no doubts people got busy with everything else.
Again, I’m not homophobic (to my knowledge, I’ve done some gay stuff in my life lol) but I really hate the new generation of science avoiding inconvenient truths.
Monkey Pox was huge in the news, until we started finding children and dogs who had been infected, then the story just evaporated.
You don’t have to be gay to be a zoophile or a pedophile, but because it was found in a child adopted by two gay men society didn’t like the story anymore.
It feels like we are rewriting history to appease people’s political views. We still don’t know the source of Covid either, lab leak, wet market, whatever it was, people who wanted answers were called xenophobic.
I know it’s Reddit and everyone is a liar but my sister’s father in law is oversaw a study ran by Harvard looking to ideally disprove a stereotype. Unfortunately the data heavily reinforced the stereotype and according to him, they intentionally didn’t publish the study.
The truth is the truth, I don’t like academics who politicize their work, and I mean from both sides. The Christian scientist sellout may be the worst offenders of this.
Do you think I've disagreed with you in any of my posts? Maybe you're responding to the wrong person.
No I’m just talking
Sorry bro I’m killing time at the airport and just wanted to expand. I’m a bit stoned, my b lol
No stress man. I did see an interview with Roland Fryer, a Harvard instructor, and he ws talking about how other people who worked with him had problems with him releasing his research on crime back in the day.
did you hear about monkey prostitutes? yes, they exist...
