Here we go again.

Nobody in the entire history of the world has ever died of AIDS.

They die from complications caused by AIDS.

It's always something else, pneumonia, cancer, respiratory infections, liver failure....always 100% of the time the cause of death is something not called AIDS.

AIDS is the mitigating factor
