So it was some kind of a conspiracy that AIDS did not get more attention? Even though, it was merely just identified and little was known about it let alone a cure? How much attention or $$ should the gov’t pour into each and every newly identified disease for it to not to be demonized? Would you say the same thing wrt to the $$ and effort the gov’t putting into research for Ebola?[/quote]
It wasn’t a conspiracy. It was an administration unwilling to lift a finger or spend a dollar on a gay disease. You can compare it to Ebola. But the two don’t look the same. Billions were and will be spent on Ebola this year. There have been less than a dozen cases in the US and 2 deaths. Reagan announced his big push to find a cure for AIDS more than 4 years after it was identified, and after more than 25,000 were already dead. Within 3 years another 125,000 would be dead.
