      You’re probably right :) I have this compulsion where I always want to know WHY something is wrong, so when I hear something like this I run off to look it up.

        Nah, keep debunking. Just because we know the claim isn’t true doesn’t mean we know what is. For this one, we can’t invert the statement to find the truth. “The government didn’t create AIDS in the 1980s” is incredibly vague so I enjoyed your summary
