(Note: CDC information says 15,820 people diagnosed with HIV died in 2018 but is careful to say this is the number of deaths from any cause and not necessarily AIDS)

Compare that with a solid 400,000 in ONE YEAR ALONE for Covid. That's an average of 33,333 each month compared to 7,000 per year.

Covid may primarily affect those with preexisting conditions but as the list of preexisting conditions becomes large it approaches "everyone."
I'm just trying to figure out how someone can get AIDS by just walking down the street or going to a restaurant.

An AIDS vaccines is appropriate to those that engage in behavior that puts them at risk.

The comparison is kinda amusing. If the only way you could get Covid was by sharing syringes and needles or putting an appendage in an inappropriate location I doubt we'd have a half million deaths...
