Do you deny that there was resistance in the Gay community to the push for condom use, and the closure of Bath Houses? That the risks of promiscuity was ignored by people who didn't want to change their lifestyle? Even movies (the band played on, The normal heart) document this resistance and ignorance.
You are the one trying to place all the blame for AIDS on the president at the time. I am merely retorting (successfully).
Do you deny that there was resistance in every community to the push for condom use?
The gay community was the one being most adversely affected, with the hemophilliac community and the IV drug users right after.
Yes, there was resistance, but the rest of society was not facing decimation, as the gay community was.
Its a virus that kills everyone not only gays idiot...so the gay community was never facing decimation
Ignorance kills lives.
From the CDC:
Results of HIV testing conducted in 20 cities as part of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) indicated that 18% of gay and bisexual men tested in 2011 had HIV and that HIV prevalence increased with increasing age.
The only thing keeping them alive is medication. When medication was not available an infection rate LOWER than what we have now would be considered decimation in the literal, classical sense.
I said its a virus that kills everyone. Does the CDC deny this or you just changed the subject again?
Actually its not killing everyone, medication is keeping it at bay.
YOU are the one changing the subject, as I have refuted your AIDS/Ebola Comparison, and you are left flailing for some way out.
