Yeah - I call a big BS on that.

The reality was that AIDS was a relatively small outbreak with no known cause and happening across all walks of life (because it wasn’t just sexually transmitted but through blood transfusions.)

There were lots of cries of epidemic from the gay community but this was relatively subdued during the Carter administration (who also ignored it) but became a political activist movement during the Reagan administration - just as homelessness was during the Bush administration (and was magically resolved during Clinton’s admin) and Katrina during Bush 2.

For you youngins today it’s much like the “concentration camp” brouhaha going around now. Once the problem became solidly known in the later 80s Reagan and the Congress did divert funds and laws to help those with Aids. (And I note away from cancer research)

But don’t let facts get in your way of continuing the propaganda
