Comments by "American Plague" (@American-Plague) on "A History of Pandemics, Part 2" video.

  1. We all just should trust some unknown person on YouTube? There will be at least some "stigmas" on ANY disease, ANYWHERE. However, saying it's "still alive and well in America" sounds like you're trying to say it's just as bad as it was in the early 1980's when nearly nothing was known about it...THAT is simply untrue.

  2.  @indyrawr1756  Unknown User wouldn't be "woke", more intelligent than every doctor on Earth and cool if he/she listened to facts though would they?

  3.  @kimberlywilliams7066  Do you have any links supporting this with evidence or just a bunch of claims like everyone else who keeps repeating this? Because the actual evidence that I've seen said otherwise; https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  4. Wtf nonsense are you talking? Stop virtue signaling. "The developed world" doesn't differentiate AFRICA. It differentiates DEVELOPED countries from UNDEVELOPED countries. It's got Jack shit to do with Africa.

  5. No....it's not REVENGE. That's exactly where morons like you go wrong as is smallpox were some thing originally intentional, when that couldn't be further from the truth. As a Native American myself, I get really sick of hearing nonsense like that America was some paradise before Europeans came. What a load of 🐎💩.

  6. I keep hearing this but nobody cites ANYTHING except "a documentary I saw". This is exactly how 🐎💩 rumors get started. Here's a source that says otherwise: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  7. Source? Oh....a YouTube documentary I'm certain...

  8. RACIST! Anyone these days who asks questions about facts that people don't want to talk about are RACIST! Who cares about the truth?! Virtue signaling and crying about everything are MUCH more important!

  9. YouTube documentaries are not peer-reviewed, scientific literature. If that were true, the Earth would be flat. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  10.  @LadyCoyKoi  I DID research it and it's completely untrue. I haven't seen one single idiot supporting this post ANY link to anything other than "a documentary I saw": https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  11. And we should just take your word for this? Or I'm guessing you saw some documentary I keep hearing about, which is not scientifically peer-reviewed? Here is what IS peer-reviewed: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/ Stop virtue signaling.

  12. Surely that show wasn't meant to entertain was it? Here is actual peer-reviewed, scientific literature. This is what you should judge FACTS by. Not shows meant to entertain: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  13. Where is this evidence? Out of the hundreds of people on here claiming this, not a single one of you had provided anything any further than "I saw somewhere..." or "I heard that...". Here's an actual peer reviewed article: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/ Stop virtue signaling.

  14. Are you f*****g serious? You're sitting here watching a documentary about disease, something that your kind would used to have chalked up to God being mad, except you believe in disease because of scientific progress. You then discard this exact same science because you must be correct that humans (actually EVERYTHING) are only 6,000 years old simply because your book, which has never contributed ANYTHING to scientific progress, says so. Are you listening to yourself? I don't think the uploader is the moron here....

  15.  @hayley2984  So it's alive and well, you just have absolutely no evidence whatsoever because nobody is openly talking about it? Are you in some super secret club where it's secretly talked about? How did you gain access to this AIDs hating club that the rest of us don't hear about?
    1
  16.  @ghoulishtoad  So in other words: talk to the most EXTREME person I can find, and that's what America is like in general. "Lol. Lol." (Did I win because I said lol more times?) Sounds pretty idiotic.
    1
  17.  @ghoulishtoad  I bet you don't agree that the Middle East is generally a terroristic area because if I look around enough and find the most extremely religious person there I can find a terrorist and name a single one for you, do you? Lmao (again I win because I used a longer acronym than you).
    1
  18.  @ghoulishtoad  See how stupid you sound? "Terrorism isn't a Middle Eastern thing, it's a global thing...". And an irrational fear of AIDS is not a global thing and is strictly American? You sound vaguely idiotic...

  19.  @ghoulishtoad  "we are talking about the AIDS epidemic which is an American thing." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Are you serious? I'm laughing so hard I'm pissing my pants over here! You seriously think AIDS is strictly an "American thing"? You have GOT to be the biggest idiot I've EVER heard from! I'd just LOVE to hear how the AIDS epidemic is "an American thing". 😂😂😂😂
    1
  20.  @ghoulishtoad  🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Sorry, I just can't get over it!: "the AIDS epidemic....is an American thing." Yes, yes! Certainly no African countries or any other countries, 3rd world or otherwise, have AIDS or any negative stigma attached to it, do they? 😂😂😂😂

  21.  @ghoulishtoad  "the AIDS epidemic which is an American thing." Is THIS a hill YOU'RE willing to die on? Lolololol
    1
  22.  @ghoulishtoad  It's also totally irrelevant how big the Middle East is or their population. The point stands that your argument is to find the most extreme person possible and that's what we judge an entire country by.
    1
  23.  @ghoulishtoad  "the stigma varies from culture to culture." Yeah. Some countries you need to rape a young virgin to cure AIDS. America sounds pretty damn good by those standards.

  24.  @ghoulishtoad  "either I wasn't clear or you misread and ran with it." No....you were very clear and I didn't misread. I understand you quite well: you judge America by MUCH harsher standards than you judge the rest of the world. Why is that?
    1
  25.  @ghoulishtoad  "me saying lol was not nearly as obnoxious as spamming those stupid laughing emojis either." Why do you think I did it?
    1
  26.  @ghoulishtoad  "the Middle East is a huge, huge, huge section of people." Irrelevant. I don't care if America's total population was 10,000. The point is that your saying because we can find a few extremists, all of America is bad. That's absurd nonsense and is the exact same argument as finding an extremists terrorist in the Middle East and saying they have a problem.
    1
  27.  @ghoulishtoad  "...because you know that the rest of my points made sense." What points? That we can find a few hardened extremists and judge entire countries by them? Why does that only apply in America and not elsewhere? You don't HAVE any points.
    1
  28.  @ghoulishtoad  You have no idea whatsoever what my idea of politics of any kind are like. That's not what's being discussed here. Where did you come up with such stupid shit?

  29. Not true. I wish people would do a simple 5 second Google search before repeating YouTube videos that are worded in ways specifically to entertain. Here is what IS factual: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  30. Except that no it hasn't. Do you not have Google or do you always immediately believe everything you hear?

  31. YouTube documentaries are not peer-reviewed scientific literature. Please don't repeat 🐎💩 that you "heard somewhere".: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  32. You saw a documentary that is created to entertain, not peer-reviewed, scientific literature. Here IS peer-reviewed, scientific literature: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  33. Why do people like you keep spouting nonsense because you heard it somewhere without even doing a very quick and simple Google search? https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/

  34. Completely untrue: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/ YouTube videos are not peer-reviewed scientific literature. They are created to entertain.

  35. What's also actually not true is that one single documentary, which doesn't even make this claim in its own description, is the same as a peer-reviewed, scientific journal. Here's the ACTUAL facts on that: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/ They did NOT find CLEAR EVIDENCE, they found POSSIBLE evidence. POSSIBLE because this "evidence" can be made by other diseases.

  36. This is a DOCUMENTARY. It is meant to entertain. Perhaps you should read an actual scientific, peer-reviewed paper instead of believing things made for entertainment. Hell, even in the description OF THAT DOCUMENTARY ITSELF it doesn't claim this. What it claims is skeletons show signs of syphilis...these signs can also be caused by other diseases. Again: stop helping spout nonsense because you "heard somewhere" such and such. Here is an ACTUAL peer- reviewed article: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/the-neverending-story-of-the-origins-of-syphilis/463401/
