In the middle of an essay describing the disastrous Public-Health Authorities' reaction to the AIDS problem lies this paragraph. Change a few words and.......gee.........it looks familiar.
...In 1987 journalist and conservative think-tanker Michael Fumento attempted to blow the whistle on the left’s AIDS hysteria. That hysteria was fueled by the media, such as the New York Times (which published headlines such as “Aids may dwarf the plague”); celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey (who declared that one in five heterosexuals could be dead from AIDS in the next three years); and the political establishment (Reagan’s HHS claimed that the epidemic could be worse than the black death). Fumento exposed these statements from celebrities and public health leadership as totally ungrounded. Instead, they were talking points pushed by powerful left-wing lobbies. ...
Oh, there's more!
...Why they pushed this narrative was especially interesting. Fumento showed that middle-class white heterosexuals were intentionally targeted by a propaganda campaign that greatly exaggerated their personal risk, in the hopes that it would push them to support dramatically increased funding for AIDS research and treatment. It’s similar to how we see low-risk businesses and schoolchildren terrorized today because we have not developed sufficiently robust policies to protect the actual high-risk elderly and ill....
Public health and sound science was sacrificed for fear-mongering and politics—then, as it is today. ...
By the way, Dr. Fraudci was heavily involved in the AIDS fiasco, too.
(Locally, the public "health" Nazi for the City of Milwaukee whines and cries (Big Girls Don't....) because she couldn't take the heat after she attempted to paralyze the entire city of Milwaukee and everyone in it. Naturally, she cries "RAAAAAAACISM!!!" and "SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXISM.")
Fauci et.al. are within inches of totally demolishing the reputation of Public Health authorities. Too bad. At one point in time, they actually were useful life-savers.
