You bring up a very valid point. But I had always thought that Wilde’s ‘pneumonia’ was simply a euphemism for syphilis.

Though I get the feeling not many people would seek to protect the reputation of a convicted buggerer. (Mind you, I’m referring to his peers. Not my own opinions.)

However, because Duesberg was at one time considered to be a credible scientist, there are those who are willing to plunge down the rabbit hole with him based on his reputation from four decades ago. Those who do are mostly simple minded people who are too afraid to face a positive diagnosis and deal with it like a mature adult. The mature adult will live a long, healthy life. The denialist will not.

I hereby officially invite Mr. Fisher to prove his hypothesis, by allowing me to inject him with the plasma samples we use for viral load tests, after all, if the “microbe” isn’t responsible, he should be perfectly fine…right?

Fischer said that men having sex with men is “domestic terrorism” because [i]If one of them is HIV positive, then it’s just like injecting his partner with a needle with HIV.”

Ignore the fact that very few instances of male/male sex are between mixed-status couples or the fact that literally any other phrase in the English language is a better description of sex between men than “domestic terrorism”. What confuses me is how transmition of a supposedly “harmless microbe” is such a concern.

why would a self proclaimed “Christian” on his Christian “American Family Association” be discussing pornography on his radio show which could be potentially heard by children?

That said, there are certain factors that should be looked at.

1. Could the virus have been around in a subclinical form before undergoing a virulent mutation? Victorian literature contains reference to “decline”, where the sufferer becomes weaker and catches more and more diseases.

2. The virus is notably short-lived when not sheltering in a cell. Could it sometimes be vectored by a spirochaete? Uncircumcised men are notoriously more subject to heterosexual transmission than the circumcised, and such men often harbor a non-pathogenic spirochaete under the foreskin. Where infection patterns have sometimes suggested arthropod transmission, those areas have coincided with arbo spirochaetal diseases (e.g., yaws).

This virus can certainly be transmitted without a vector, but the patterns I found out about when I was handling an HIV caseload (admittedly long ago) led me to suspect that a spirochaetal vector boosts its contagiousness. I wonder if anyone has looked into this.

Looks like Bryan Fischer is quick to believe anything that justifies his worldview. Unfortunately his audience is likely to believe it as well.

But when has that ever stopped this American Embarrassment from ever opening his mouth before?

*Please forgive the explicit language used in the comment. I felt euphemism and allusion were inappropriate in this case.

PS I think Fischer needs to lay off the poppers himself. I can think of no other way any person can shove their head so far up their rectum on so many occasions.
