Scammed Yankees question


When Peter is in the African prison he writes a pretty interesting biography and gives it to a monkey. He then tells the monkey to take it to a French Canadian flight attendant. This cuts to a shot of the story going across the world. What is this a reference to?

reply


It was a reference to Gaetan Dugas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaëtan_Dugas.
He was once thought to be "patient zero" bringing HIV to the U.S.
