if by 'social' you mean 'jews' and by 'construction' you mean 'engineered it', then yes

Woah, edgemaster detected.

The name AIDS in part constructs the disease and helps make it intelligible. We cannot therefore look 'through' language to determine what AIDS 'really' is. Rather we must explore the site where such determinations really occur and intervene at the point where meaning is created: in language.

almost perfect, but he wouldn't say "in language", but rather "in discursive practice". there was a big difference to him, and hence his reaction to derrida who privileged mere language.

As all scientific understanding is a social construction, our understanding of AIDS is, too. The thing itself, the virus and the disease it causes, are brute facts for the most part, except that colonialism caused this thing to become a real thing.

Why is it that the only philosophers who were worth the ink that they used over the course of their lifetimes were mathematicians first?

You people are so stupid.

No it was not manufactured by "jews". Breakout of AIDS happened in Africa due to urbanization and liberation of traditional African society, migration of poor Africans to the cities as African states started do became autonomous.

100 years ago:
