For those who don't like bare links: Yes, he said it. No, the rest of the virology community does not agree.

Researchers in China and the US find that the virus that causes Covid-19 can destroy the T cells that are supposed to protect the body from harmful invaders

One doctor said concern is growing in medical circles that effect could be similar to HIV

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3079443/coro...

Also, some of the evidence from https://project-evidence.github.io/ supports this idea, including this incredible quote from a paper associated with Wuhan virus researchers:

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV), which uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as its receptor for cell entry. A group of SARS-like CoVs (SL-CoVs) has been identified in horseshoe bats...In this study, we investigated the receptor usage of the SL-CoV S by combining a human immunodeficiency virus-based pseudovirus system with cell lines expressing the ACE2 molecules of human, civet, or horseshoe bat.

That's how you know he is illogical and nothing he says could possibly be right, so you don't need to listen to him.
