Yes, yet (relatively) soon after human AIDs is discovered people start noticing an increase in macaque deaths in their labs. This was later attributed to a similar cause. I think that is an important aspect of the timeline to keep in mind, that is all on that point. The rest hinges on other evidence which we are discussing in parallel here.
- dogma1138 10y agoIn a species that was never exposed to SIV before, what is actually surprising here? I really don't understand why you are even attempting to quite wrongly interpret the results of a study before HIV or SIV were even discovered that actually disproves your assertion. This is a borderline conspiracy theory.
