Not a CT! Did the CIA create AIDS? A forum of eugenics? [View all]

[RKP5637]

This is not a CT. It is an article refuting CT.

I happened to come across this Snopes article as I was reading about eugenics. I've seen this supposition before ... so thought I would add clarity that per Snopes it is false. The article is interesting.

The claim is:

Apparently the CIA was testing to find a disease which would resist any cures known to man. They did this testing somewhere in Africa. The purpose of finding this incurable disease was to bring America back to the old days of the moral majority. Therefore this disease was to be transmitted sexually among the outcasts of society, namely people of color and gay men.

However, the Snopes article refutes this claim rather well.
