"I'm not religious, but wrong or right, that's me," Eazy-E wrote. He said in his experience, when people think of HIV as some kind of high-tech conspiracy, rather than a public health issue, "they're not as apt to take personal responsibility.Eazy-E's lawyer had said in March 1995 at a press conference that the rapper, then 31 years old and married with a baby son, was hospitalized in critical condition and had learned two and a half weeks prior that he had contracted the AIDS disease, the Los Angeles Times reported. He read a letter penned by his client. This type of theory can be harmful, Webley added, "especially in African-American and underrepresented minority populations where this virus continues to be a huge problem." Ludicrous rumors like this cloud people's perception of HIV and AIDS. "That was the time of diagnosis, not the time of infection," he said. Webley points out that people shouldn't make too much of the fact that Eazy E's acquaintances learned that he had the virus just two weeks before he died. Naturally, the acupuncture theory has other holes.
After all, said Webley, "you're not getting up from acupuncture bleeding all over yourself." Moreover, HIV would most likely have to enter a blood vessel to find a hospitable place to infect, and acupuncture is superficial, and deliberately avoids blood vessels.
To infect someone, the acupuncture needle would have to coated in fresh blood, or a HIV serum, "which also means that they would have had to use that needle right away," Webley continued. What's more, as Wilmore Webley, a microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst told us, acupuncture would be a terribly ineffective way to give someone HIV.Īcupuncture needles lack the shaft and reservoir of a syringe where HIV-infected blood can hide, Webley explained, "so the probability of it actually storing enough blood or serum with enough viral particles in there to lead to an infection is extremely low." It is not-it should be noted-a biological weapon invented by a screenwriter to serve as the MacGuffin in a Mission: Impossible movie. "I think they really had a stronghold of giving him tainted needles with the AIDS virus in them through acupuncture, because how else could somebody die that fast of AIDS? Have you even heard of somebody dying in two weeks of AIDS bro? Come on, man. Frost details the infection scheme around 4:16: In a new video from For the Record, an aspiring hip-hop documentary crew, Frost claims Eazy-E had been injured on a quad bike, and was receiving acupuncture treatments.
