On 14 May 2017, the Anti News Network reported that Dr. Robert Gallo, who played a major role in the landmark discovery of the link between human immunodeficiency virus (better known by as the acronym HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (or AIDS), had confessed to inventing the virus as part of a plot to depopulate the world. The article republishes, in full, a 5 July 2016 story on Your News Wire, a web site known for publishing false and fabricated stories, hoaxes and conspiracy theories. The story was also republished by the Natural Healing Magazine web site in July 2016. The story carries the headline: Dr. Gallo: 'I Invented AIDS to Depopulate Humanity and claims: Your News Wire, in turn, cites the Daily Post as having written a series of somewhat incoherent paragraphs characterized by spelling, grammar and syntax errors. (A link provided for the original Daily Post article redirects to spam, unrelated webpages, or unsolicited software download; we don't recommend clicking on it.) Quite apart from all that, Dr. Robert Gallo has never admitted that he created AIDS in order to reduce the world's population, or made any statement remotely to that effect. This claim is entirely false and fabricated.
