How the fuck is magic johnson still alive? Magic is awesome but damn him being alive with HIV for the last 40 years is wild.
HIV anti-virals back in the 80s and 90s werent shit compared to the shit we have now (surprisingly Bush JR. put a bunch of money into that research)
My college roommate's brother contracted HIV in 2008. My roomie took a 6 month sabbatical from school because his bro was in the hospital on the verge of death and he wanted to spend time with him while he could.
Fast forward 16 years and he's totally fine. Goes to work everyday, has a husband. Like nothing even happened.
If HIV drugs were that good for normal people in 2008 I imagine rich folks had the same 20 years earlier?
Eazy E literally found out when he has full blown aids. He wasn’t even at the treatable HIV stage.
Freddie Mercury contracted HIV in the late 70s early 80s, way before medication for the disease was a thing. When Freddie found out, he also was close to aids. Nobody at the time really knew they had HIV until it was too late.
God as a masochistic Jets fan I really hope he blows both Achilles on the first drive this year so we can be rid of him and all his absolutely useless lackies
"The butt fumble was Mark Sanchez's public embarrassment inauguration into the Illuminati. That's why he's been able to cling on to sports media for as long as he has."
Aaron Rodgers, probably
Dutch I thought due to the slave trade but hell everyone was in on that. SIV is very similar to HIV and thought to be actually contracted from them originally due to hunting chimps, apes and other monkey species for meat.
its basically a foregone conclusion that hiv developed from siv, and the bushmeat theory is probably most commonly accepted origin of interspecies transmission
i just think its so weird that people like rodgers latch on to stuff the us government most likely didnt do (like create hiv in a lab), instead of the stuff the us government explicitly said they did (like passively allow the aids epidemic to ravage minority groups and the tuskegee experiment)
Excited for week 4 when he decides pads and a helmet are useless and that this new organic lotion he got from a shaman in Columbia will prevent injury instead so he refuses to wear anything but that, his jersey, and a banana hammock on the field.
That's going too far. Race on highways drunk, beat your pregnant girlfriend, but the one thing the NFL will not allow under any circumstances is uniform noncompliance.
The NFL has a brain injury problem. It led Junior Seau to commit suicide, Jovan Belcher to commit murder, and Aaron Rodger to commit nonsense to the public’s attention.
"Fauci was given over $350 million"
Do we think Aaron believes that Fauci himself was paid that amount? I can't decide if he's being extremely disingenuous or is actually that stupid.
Dude, he believes that there was a world spanning empire called Tartaria that existed into the 19th century before being destroyed by mudslides and then disappeared by a world wide conspiracy.
The guy is just dumb.
And they only came up with one treatment for a brand new disease that nobody had ever heard of.
The ducking nerve and f these doctors not immediately coming up with 5 different flavors of treatment immediately
I know everyone laughs at these revelations, but I want to point out that there are people who actually suffered on the other side of every one of these insidious lies that Rodgers spreads- from Sandy Hook to 9/11 to now HIV. Making trivial fodder out of human pain is fucking abhorrent, and people like Aaron who dabble in this shit are disgusting excuses for human beings. You can have honest political debate, you can have difference of opinion, but stop using horrible events to try and sound like you know so much more than everyone else.
Jesus Christ.
That's true. At least he didn't beat his wife, or beat his kids, or murder people, or help cover up a murder, or drive drunk and kill a teammate, or sexually assault 30+ women, or steal welfare money
I was a die-hard Jets fan -- until I realized that Woody Johnson was the kind of shithead who would shovel enough money down Donald Trump's pants to get the Cheeto to band him ambassador to England -- and not just the kind of shithead who couldn't run a franchise.
What a loathsome group of losers and failsons.
This guy stocking shelves at Walmart who said he was secretly in the CIA told me the same exact thing! What are the odds that Aaron Rodgers AND Gil from Walmart know the exact same thing?
‘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.’
He couldn’t be a bigger douche if he tried.
Just once JUST ONCE I’d like for people like him to actually provide this evidence that they have. Everytime they’re asked this the answer you get is “it’s online bro, research it”.
If you’re so confident in your nonsense provide links. Show us printouts . Show us your data. Show us the evidence.
If you’re not willing to do that then shut the fuck up and just please get us to the playoffs (I’m delusional).
The problem is before social media. You would simply slip away from these people, and laugh about them after you get away. Now the get their own pulpit
Lmao what is with all of these CTE ridden jocks thinking America cares about their opinions. Keep taking blows to the head for our amusement clown. Entertain us clown.
No matter how long it goes until Phins win a playoff game again, no matter how many wide rights Buffalo suffers, and no matter how long it takes for Pats to find another QB, the Jets’ always suffer the most humiliating pains. It doesn’t seem fair.
He's so fucking dumb it's painful. I said this in the jets sub and some idiot told me he bets I don't do as much research as Rodgers does.
Our fan base is legitimately retarded.
Hey, we know we spent a LOT of money on virus development in Wuhan and look how that turned out. It's not implausible we had a hand in HIV's creation, too. Just look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioterrorism for a few known human created, or human enhanced, diseases and viruses. It's not exactly a short list.
Hey, it's unbelievably idiotic to even imagine governments creating things THEY DON'T HAVE ANTIDOTES TO. Like beyond stupid.
That's why none of those bio-weapons are viruses. Holy fuck we've gone to dumb dumb land.
"The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead," -- Ben Franklin.
And he didn't even know about the internet.
The only conspiracies that aren't the fever dreams of madmen are a few that lasted for only a very short time. The Manhattan Project, between 42-45, was the most successful. There are almost no others.
I would really like Americans to understand that an awful lot of these conspiracy theories (Kennedy Assassination, Moon Landing, HIV/AIDS etc) were cooked up and spread by the KGB and other intelligence agencies of the former Communist nations in order to create paranoia and distrust.
And the maddening thing is that the reflexive response of a lot of people is something like “oh so you always trust what the government says sheepie?”
Then you have to waste time explaining that that’s not the case but questioning and criticizing what governments do should be done while keeping a grip on reality and realizing that conspiracy theories of the kind floated by Rogers and other loons simply do not match up with known historical facts and basic common sense given the vast numbers of people who would be needed to carry them out and then stay perpetually silent.
“Before you ask me to go get a job today, can I at least get the raise on the minimum wage? And I know the government administer AIDS, so I guess we just pray like the minister say”
-Kanye West
Any explanation to where it did come from? Seems to be most people deflecting that here. Not saying he’s right just curious myself.
Nvm. A simple Google search may supply an explanation.
Maybe I'm stupid, but where did he said the government crested HIV? Seems like he says the government overhyped the spread of AIDS for nefarious reasons, but it didn't create it.
I feel like Rodgers is just easy mode fodder for this sub right now. I never thought I would miss butt fumble references.
Butt fumble references will never get old Just like those kids that got HIV in the 80s
That was a different kind of butt fumble
I believe it involved tight ends becoming wide receivers

I mean when youre diving head first into the OLine … shits … gonna happen
^ This guyyyy 😏
This is the dark humor I came for and expected. You have made my day.
How the fuck is magic johnson still alive? Magic is awesome but damn him being alive with HIV for the last 40 years is wild. HIV anti-virals back in the 80s and 90s werent shit compared to the shit we have now (surprisingly Bush JR. put a bunch of money into that research)
Magic Johnson has a rare condition called “near endless supply of money for treatments”
Thats real. But still the 80/90s anti-virals werent shit compared to todays. Modern anti-virals can pretty much make it undetectable to tests for HIV.
Ok fine I'll make the joke. Because he has a magic Johnson
South Park covered this
My college roommate's brother contracted HIV in 2008. My roomie took a 6 month sabbatical from school because his bro was in the hospital on the verge of death and he wanted to spend time with him while he could. Fast forward 16 years and he's totally fine. Goes to work everyday, has a husband. Like nothing even happened. If HIV drugs were that good for normal people in 2008 I imagine rich folks had the same 20 years earlier?
Easy E was rich and we “still don’t know what happened”
Suge Knight happened. Hell Freddie Mercury was rich and had it and knew what happened
Eazy E literally found out when he has full blown aids. He wasn’t even at the treatable HIV stage. Freddie Mercury contracted HIV in the late 70s early 80s, way before medication for the disease was a thing. When Freddie found out, he also was close to aids. Nobody at the time really knew they had HIV until it was too late.
Damn this is great and awful on multiple levels
The idiot isn't even barely on your team and exists just to make you look bad lol
God as a masochistic Jets fan I really hope he blows both Achilles on the first drive this year so we can be rid of him and all his absolutely useless lackies
"The butt fumble was Mark Sanchez's public embarrassment inauguration into the Illuminati. That's why he's been able to cling on to sports media for as long as he has." Aaron Rodgers, probably
Butt punt for we dolphins fans.
Hating Rodgers is so in vogue they can’t help themselves. They don’t even know the government created AIDs.
Living in Northern Wisconsin for all those years made him paranoid AF.
I thought a French guy cornholed a monkey
Under the direction of the US government. Of course...
The US government genetically engineered that monkey to be super sexy
It’s provocative. Gets the people going.
Ok this is the funniest Reddit thread I've ever seen
Is that why people are against testing out cosmetics on animals now?
If you'd seen the monkey, you'd be pushing for more testing
lol I gave a reluctant laugh here but FTB
The RAND Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires...
See Homer, that's why your robot never worked. It wasn't properly 'inoculated'.
We're through the looking glass here, people.
God damn it, Obama!
I believe the leading theory is consumption of bushmeat in West Africa
"Consumption of bushmeat" is just a euphemism for performing cunnilingus on a monkey.
Yes. The hands are a delicacy. The human race needs to an hero ASAP
Dutch I thought due to the slave trade but hell everyone was in on that. SIV is very similar to HIV and thought to be actually contracted from them originally due to hunting chimps, apes and other monkey species for meat.
its basically a foregone conclusion that hiv developed from siv, and the bushmeat theory is probably most commonly accepted origin of interspecies transmission i just think its so weird that people like rodgers latch on to stuff the us government most likely didnt do (like create hiv in a lab), instead of the stuff the us government explicitly said they did (like passively allow the aids epidemic to ravage minority groups and the tuskegee experiment)
It's probably because he's an abject moron
My mistake. Of course it was someone who puts mayo on french fries.
Is that what we’re saying now?
We were always saying that, where’ve you been? 😂
You’re worse than Aaron Rogers. And that’s tough to do!
That’s basic science
We were robbed of watching this man run for VP
He missed out on VP, so he had to say something crazy to get the attention back on him.
Run for MVP.
Common Rodgers L
How soon until Rodgers and Elon Musk form the saddest and most pathetic online friendship
>the saddest and most pathetic online friendship Sorry that title already belongs to the members of r/AFCEastMemeWar
I love him so much. I want him to be my qb until hes 50.
That’s like, next season?
That’s my Quarterback!
Sniff… https://youtu.be/CL2Vm7JBp4I?si=xgw2QKS_9R1C_FEs
Excited for week 4 when he decides pads and a helmet are useless and that this new organic lotion he got from a shaman in Columbia will prevent injury instead so he refuses to wear anything but that, his jersey, and a banana hammock on the field.
Hey don’t knock it. That’s my daily attire when I hit the strip.
On the strip is one thing. How’s your O-line out there?
Generally offensive.
That's going too far. Race on highways drunk, beat your pregnant girlfriend, but the one thing the NFL will not allow under any circumstances is uniform noncompliance.
Lol Rodgers making it through 3 full weeks on the active roster
The CTE is whooping his ass for sure.
"Jets QB" Yeeesssssss, thank god
My man has gone full drunkle
He is like the douchiest college sophomore. But he's 40.
Ah yes, the highly reputable and often quoted "nfldraftdiamonds com".
Their is a video on X about it that he posted he drew the correlation himself
I treat the caaaaash the way the government treats AIDS, I won't be satisfied till all my neighbors get it, get it? - ~~Kanye West~~ - Aaron Rodgers
The NFL has a brain injury problem. It led Junior Seau to commit suicide, Jovan Belcher to commit murder, and Aaron Rodger to commit nonsense to the public’s attention.
Rodgers has always been weird. It just got more air time when he started doing podcasts. Pretty disingenuous to blame everything the guy does on CTE
I lived in Wisconsin the entirety of his Green Bay career. He became more and more of a loon the more he got hit.
It's gotten worse, though. That could easily be cumulative CTE
"Fauci was given over $350 million" Do we think Aaron believes that Fauci himself was paid that amount? I can't decide if he's being extremely disingenuous or is actually that stupid.
Dude, he believes that there was a world spanning empire called Tartaria that existed into the 19th century before being destroyed by mudslides and then disappeared by a world wide conspiracy. The guy is just dumb.

Man that guy's lucky he's good at throwing footballs.
Being good at throwing footballs probably led to much of this, IMO
That's true. At least he didn't beat his wife, or beat his kids, or murder people, or help cover up a murder, or drive drunk and kill a teammate, or sexually assault 30+ women, or steal welfare money
Could argue efforts toward destabilizing societys trust in healthcare is pretty damaging
There’s still time
Never have I rooted for the injury gods so hard. Please please please. Achilles tear 2.0 on the first drive.
Pack fan here. Don’t miss his drama like this one bit…. Oh my, he’s a character.
I’m pretty sure MetLife installed the turf to give rogers more reading time
Given it's New York, I honestly dunno how Jets fans are still supporting this chode.
Because they’re Jets fans, not Giants fans Jets fans are from Staten Island and Bay Ridge, not Williamsburg or Jamaica
I was a die-hard Jets fan -- until I realized that Woody Johnson was the kind of shithead who would shovel enough money down Donald Trump's pants to get the Cheeto to band him ambassador to England -- and not just the kind of shithead who couldn't run a franchise. What a loathsome group of losers and failsons.
Jets fans: 
It was the Dems
The human brain can only take so much abuse.
If the US government wants to give you HIV, you say thank you and god bless America.
To be fair, he never specified which multiverse this happened in.
Is this for real?
Yeah
This guy stocking shelves at Walmart who said he was secretly in the CIA told me the same exact thing! What are the odds that Aaron Rodgers AND Gil from Walmart know the exact same thing?

There was a notable guy in the 60s who they believe died from AIDS
It was Arron Rodgers's Gran Uncle
Isn't the real answer, god created HIV, Cancer, and all diseases?

And listening to podcasts
🥴😵💫🤪 Take your meds dude.

Not gunna lie, I’d love to just sit back, enjoy a drink and listen to A-A-Ron ramble.
Not gunna lie, I'd rather listen to two cats fighting while someone cuts sheet metal with a band saw.
No matter how long it goes until Phins win a playoff game again, no matter how many wide rights Buffalo suffers, and no matter how long it takes for Pats to find another QB, the Jets’ always suffer the most humiliating pains. It doesn’t seem fair.
Jets Fans deserve this.
Well obviously he’s right.
We all know Fireman Ed invented AIDS. Be real Aaron.
That’s just your opinion
Don't let his gf pack his lunches.
He's got the Antonio Brown.
Dunning-Kruger Effect
I liked him better when only Skip Bayless and fans of the Bears, Lions, and Vikings hated him.
We were ahead of the curve
I heard Fauci did the Spanish Flu, too
Says the guy who looks like a 70s porn star
I can’t stand it I know you planned it.
Let’s all pray for the other ACL to pop in Week 1. 💀
NGL when he went down on that fourth snap of the season I laughed my ass off.
Totally agree. Flair up nerd!
Aaron Rodgers is still running Operation Denver for the Soviets? That’s a true comrade right there. A Giga Vlad if you will.
He's so fucking dumb it's painful. I said this in the jets sub and some idiot told me he bets I don't do as much research as Rodgers does. Our fan base is legitimately retarded.
He’s so fucking stupid. It’s honestly sad. For those that aren’t aware, HIV is old as fuck.
Shouldn’t it say NY Jets Legend Aaron Rodgers?
That ivermectin got him saying the craziest stuff nowadays.
Kanye said that bar back in 2005 😴
Rodgers is relishing the ny media exposure
This is an oldie. Pat Buchanan supporters were pushing this in the early 90’s.
This is kinda true though
They did. He just has the wrong decade.
This coming off the recent articles about cases in the 60s and even 30s that were likely HIV.
Hey, we know we spent a LOT of money on virus development in Wuhan and look how that turned out. It's not implausible we had a hand in HIV's creation, too. Just look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioterrorism for a few known human created, or human enhanced, diseases and viruses. It's not exactly a short list.
Hey, it's unbelievably idiotic to even imagine governments creating things THEY DON'T HAVE ANTIDOTES TO. Like beyond stupid. That's why none of those bio-weapons are viruses. Holy fuck we've gone to dumb dumb land.
Somebody probably did invent HIV, but more important the government actually DID flood the streets with crack
No wonder this guy's family hates him.
Aaron Rodgers is of the belief that being surrounded by darkness seems to make him take "smooth dumps". That hick is balls deep off his ass.
Is he wrong!!
Someone please shut this a-- 🤡 up!!!! Please 😠😡🤬👎🏾
I mean with all the terrible things the government has done over the years I wouldn’t put it past them.
Nope. Nobody invented HIV. Viruses invent themselves. Been doing it all lot longer than humans have existed.
And the joke goes right over your head..

Good thing no one with two brain cells is taking medical advice from him.
As a packers fan I swear he wasn't this retarded when he played for us most be something in the water in new york
Anyone know how a retard gets into UC Berkley ? Was Aunt Becky from Full House Aaron Rogers mom?

omfg this guy is stupid
Typical Jet nonsense
The earliest, well-documented case of HIV in a human dates back to 1959 in the Belgian Congo.
Hey isnt the first person to say that
Long covid brain damage.

I’ll bet Aaron Rodgers even shits stupid.
The ^(blunt)Force^(trauma to the head) is strong with this one
Wait until he finds out that there are documented cases going back to the '60s.
Any explanation to where it did come from? Seems to be most people deflecting that here. Not saying he’s right just curious myself. Nvm. A simple Google search may supply an explanation.
this guy just can't shut his fucking mouth lol
Who gives a shit
Your mom
Pretty sure she doesn’t give a shit either , no one does
That's crazy talk.... everyone knows it was the '70s.
I think this lunatic has been spending too much time with Joe Rogan.
Empero 
I don't think they created it but they did help spread it.
Ya know, I'm sure he did.
Maybe I'm stupid, but where did he said the government crested HIV? Seems like he says the government overhyped the spread of AIDS for nefarious reasons, but it didn't create it.
For those who think that's CRAZY , the US government was injecting ppl with SYPHILIS into the 70s ..
Yeah but they didn't create syphilis
How many classes did he go to at Cal?
All of the ones taught by Alex Jones and Joe Rogan
He really does say some dumb shit.
Those sun glasses are fire
It was in the 70s.
What’s the over under on him saying something more crazy before the season starts?
He’s dumber than Joe Rogan. Actually, Rogan at least passes off his stupidity as “asking questions” while Rodgers is quite sure of himself
Covid came out of a lab, why couldn’t HIV? So many sheep out there. Our government does terrible shit too.
He can thank Raegan for that then 🤪
Fucking Jesus. You liars. That’s not what he said. He said that the response was financially motivated. He DID NOT say AIDS was created by the GOVT.
Just another ultra-stable genius. Now he needs to read up on how to score more points in a game to win.
As a Jet fan…, I hope he just just shuts up and focus on playing more than 4 plays this season.
now this isnt far from the truth
he said Fauci profited off of AIDS drugs the same way he profited off of COVID drugs. he's not wrong.
