Remembering when aids first became popular

[Polishprince]

Back in the early 80's, it was huge news. It didn't take too long to figure out that taking it in the caboose was the primary risk factor in the spread of the disease.

Libs complained about "homophobia" when commonsense methods to curtail the disease were discussed- like the discouragement of sodomy and the closing of homosexual bathhouses. Libs said "this is our lifestyle, don't inconvenience us".

Yet its interesting how the libs are so quick to inconvenience ordinary Americans during the current pestilence. Even though CV is a lot less fatal, a lot less disabling than aids.


AIDS Epidemic: How It Really Started

I was a kid when it first popped off and to this day people refuse to admit that sodomy, and intravenous drug use are the overwhelming methods of transmission.

Just like the old joke states;

What is the first sign of HIV?

A pounding sensation in your ass.

Are you kidding? Grab a history book. The Reagan administration's response to the AIDS epidemic was pathetic and slow. It was widely criticized at the time and still is.

That's because the right wing's defalt position is to blame the victim. Always has been, and looks like it always will be.

Actually, conservatives made suggestions during the 1980's on how to reduce the spread of aids, but they were roundly rejected the libs.

The connection between taking it in the caboose and coming down with a case of the aids was pretty obvious. But the homo community just didn't want to hear it, that their orientation was causing it. I remember seeing those guys on tv talk shows screaming at people who made the mild suggestion that they should just consider to quit with the sodomy if they wanted to stop the epidemic.

During the Reagan Administration, the aids epidemic was confined to the major homo population centers in just a few states. There was really nothing he could have done outside of possibly Quarantining San Francisco and Greenwich Village , and a few other area. But he wasn't ready to do that, he didn't think there was enough support for that kind of move among the people, particularly as the Homosexual Community was denying any involvement in it.

Tell me what other countries were contributing to the fight?

I am not your assistant. Make your own points, thanks.

Indeed they would have. And further, they wouldn't have cooperated.

Under the circumstances President Reagan faced, he decided this wasn't a battle he was willing to invest a lot in.

I'm sorry, I missed your reliable source and working link to the source of your allegation. Would you please correct that oversight?

Keep in mind that AIDS was extremely slow in spreading and was always fatal. It was nothing at all like the COVID-19 virus.
