Original Note:
There's no evidence that the HIV/AIDS and the Ebola viruses were man made bioweapons. Both conspiracy theories are baseless, with the HIV story having origins as a Soviet Union disinformation campaign, and Ebola's story origin coming from a now deleted Liberian news site. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1467-9566.2012.01480.x https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/19/sunday-review/the-ebola-conspiracy-theories.html
