Back in the late '80s/early '90s, they tried to convince people that AIDS was not just a gay/drug user thing, but equally a threat to heterosexuals. That was not true: It's not that heterosexuals can't get it, it's just that it's much harder. See the book The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS, which turned out to be correct.
Fausti ran the same scam playbook during Aids as Covaids.
He is a nigerian prince con artist:
• Ramp up fear of spread of some "contagion"
• (E.g. Pump the fear so much that people are afraid to hug aids patients and they die isolated and alone, and it takes years to undo the damage)
• Publish flimsy evidence of said contagion and say you "isolated the virus"
• Make testing recommendations based on flimsy evidence above.
• Pump the positive numbers.
• Pump the symptom list to basically anything
• Push some high price pharmaceutical with flimsy evidence of benefit
• Hide all evidence of harm.
• Stifle any other research for treatments, especially ones that are low cost.
