Magic Johnson Outraged by Claim He Faked HIV

Saturday October 11, 2008
On Friday, two Minnesota radio talk show hosts claimed that Magic Johnson faked his HIV diagnosis. The talk show hosts have rationalized that Magic must have faked his diagnosis because "he's the first cured AIDS guy ever". Obviously, the talk show hosts have no idea what HIV is or how it works. As expected Magic Johnson expressed outrage at the claim.
    "I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis," Johnson said. "I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue."
According to Magic his HIV is well controlled because of his very effective medication regimen.

I can’t believe in the effectiveness of medicines and medical breakouts that we have achieved, that two supposedly professional journalist, would act so unprofessional. But then again only in America is freedom of speech used so stupidly. Look no further than Election’08. Pray for these guys and the world that we can get our mind off man and onto the Lord, to realizes miracles like Magic and others are possible.
