Yes, and I have maintained from the beginning that in those days they knew nothing about bacteria and viruses and couldn’t have possibly known there was any disease carrying virus in the blankets. It has always seemed to me to be just another anti-white man smear.
Would you have sex with someone you knew had HIV on the condition that a condom be used? Would you knowingly handle blankets infected with a deadly pathogen, just so you could go and give them to people you wanted dead? I think not.
