I learned that Ronald Reagan was responsible for the lack of AIDs research funding and that he was personally responsible for the deaths of thousands. A lot more than Science is being promulgated in those liberal enclaves.

Based on my understanding, which is limited since I was born 1981 and haven't given much attention to HIV/AIDS history, President Reagan did drag his feet on acknowledging HIV/AIDS.

That inaction may have indirectly delayed scientific research (via Federal funding).

However, I wouldn't hold President Reagan personally responsible for any of those deaths. The science - again, based on my limited knowledge of the subject - was still evolving then.

It sounds like the professor in question should have been told to tone down his rhetoric.

Oh! You're a child.

I have hope that you will grow out of your intellectual swashbuckling stage in time.

Cheers!

I was not long out of high school at the time. No one knew what GRID (and that’s what they called it, then) was at the time. He didn’t delay any research. He could not have acknowledged an unknown. He and Nancy were very good friends with a victim of the disease, Rock Hudson.

You’re being too credulous regarding a leftist myth.
