That J.D. Vance Thread

[Rev. Rye]

JD Vance now says Haitian immigrants are spreading HIV after bizarre pet-eating claim flops

Vance escalated his claims by linking the supposed arrival of Haitian immigrants to a rise in infectious diseases in Springfield, including HIV and tuberculosis. “Communicable diseases like HIV and TB have skyrocketed in this small Ohio town. This is what Kamala Harris’ border policies have done,” he said, without offering evidence to support his claims.

Vance’s claims that Haitian immigrants are responsible for a rise in HIV reinforce these historical stigmas, stoking xenophobia and racial fear. Public health experts have widely discredited the idea that immigrants are driving HIV transmission.

He should stick to couch banging

So, how exactly are Haitians giving the people of Springfield HIV? Are they fucking them all, are they just giving blood willy-nilly, or are they sharing needles? Now I'm curious, especially knowing that HIV in particular has very few routes to infection, and those scenarios cover everything except mother-child transmission. And the blood-giving one is itself extremely unlikely, since (from what I understand) all blood donations in America have been screened for HIV for decades.

... Vance picked one of the worst communicable diseases to claim Haitians are just spreading is what I'm saying.
