"How do you explain the politics of AIDS in this country, then?"

Simple. The United States government doesn't attempt to fraudulently underreport the occurrence of a disease as China did with SARS. That it has caved in to pressure from homosexual groups and their allies to "do more" about AIDS (when our parents and grandparents are more likely to die from cancer or heart disease) is another matter.

You have a poor memory. Public health officials failed to quarrantine HIV when it first appeared, when it was thought to be a disease associated with the use of poppers. The reporting requirements were a joke. Sexual partners were never interviewed or isolated or placed under observation when a classic application of public health laws might have greatly slowed the spread of the disease. There was a constant downplaying of the severity of the disease and its prognosis. Even in 1985, the Memorial Sloan Kettering docs were telling congress that what was then called HTLV-III was only 35% fatal. Classic public health laws concerning communicability have been routinely ignored for political correctness. The Irwin Memorial Blood Bank was still collecting blood in the Castro district even after they understood it was a blood borne pathogen!

What disturbs me about this article is that the author is clicking his tongue like a shill for the WHO (UN), as if global socialism was any more likely to deliver constructive results than Chinese communism is.

N-o-o-o, because they have a DIFFERENT agenda.

Which is why the fraudulently OVERREPORT the incidence of AIDS in the U.S., and trump up this false myth of a "heterosexual AIDS epidemic" that never materialized, based on non-existent "indcators."

All this to justify throwing grossly disproportionate amounts of funding at a problem that was a concern only to that tiny but politically powerful minority, male homosexuals.
