300,000 in 4 months huh? So AIDs, which doesn't kill you, but kills your immune system, works faster than the US postal service.
Robot overlords to the rescue again:
"how long does the undiagnosed aids patient live?"
In general, untreated and undiagnosed AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) can lead to death within 1–3 years after it develops. This is because the immune system becomes so weakened that the body can no longer fight off serious infections and certain cancers.
However, it's important to note:
- HIV vs. AIDS: Many people live for years to decades with untreated HIV (before it progresses to AIDS).
- Once HIV progresses to AIDS, the immune system is severely compromised, and the risk of life-threatening infections and cancers dramatically increases.
- Access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) can dramatically extend lifespan—even for people already diagnosed with AIDS. With treatment, many people live near-normal lifespans.

how long does a diagnosed aids patient who is suddenly taken off their medications live?
That’s an important and serious question. If a person with AIDS who is stable on antiretroviral therapy (ART) suddenly stops taking their medications, several things can happen:
- Viral rebound: The virus can quickly start replicating again. In many people, viral load can rebound to high levels within days to weeks of stopping ART.
- Immune system deterioration: If the immune system was already severely damaged (low CD4 count) at the time of stopping, there’s a high risk of rapid progression of opportunistic infections or cancers.
- Life expectancy after stopping ART:
- Without treatment, after reaching AIDS (not just HIV), life expectancy is typically around 1–3 years.
- The actual survival depends on the person’s overall health, nutritional status, and whether they get any medical care for opportunistic infections.
- Infections like PCP (Pneumocystis pneumonia), tuberculosis, or cryptococcal meningitis can become fatal within weeks to months if untreated.
- Sudden stopping vs. gradual stopping:
- Suddenly stopping ART is very risky, because it can lead to immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) if the immune system had been partially recovering.
- In most cases, stopping ART for any reason is not advised unless absolutely necessary under close medical supervision.
If someone is in this situation, it’s urgent to get back on ART as soon as possible or seek medical care to manage complications. Let me know if you’d like to talk more about the biology behind this or practical considerations in such cases.
It's almost like the 300k number plucked from the air doesn't match the science. I thought democrats believed in science?
Much like the words "woke," "racist," "sexist," etc., they have destroyed the meaning of "science" too.Quote:

Because of retards like Back who have no ability to think, only to obey.
Democrats trust the science when it aligns with their beliefs.... when it runs in opposition, then it's not real science.. it's crazy conspiracy theories.Quote:

Elon Musk brands Bono 'liar' and 'idiot' over foreign aid comments
After Bono said in a podcast interview that DOGE's dismantling of USAID will result in 300,000 deaths worldwide, billionaire Elon Musk hit back at the rock legend's comments on X
More...
Quote:
The 300,000 figure cited by Bono comes from a model developed by Brooke Nichols, a mathematician and infectious disease professor at Boston University. The findings have been backed by The Washington Post, which reported that roughly 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died due to foreign aid cuts under the Trump administration.
But Musk, who last week announced he was leaving his role in the Trump administration, hit out at Bono after his comments on the podcast. "He's such a liar/idiot. Zero people have died!" the billionaire commented on a tweet shared by Mike Benz, a former official with the US Department of State who wrote that the numbers mentioned by Bono were "f***** faker than their Covid numbers."
