When AIDS started I remember an article in Scientific American saying that it would become an epidemic and that the heterosexual community would not be spared. Didn’t happen.

Here is an interview about Fauci in Scientific American about 12 years ago:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nih-official-fauci-hiv-vaccine/

His reasoning for terminating a clinical trial:

No efficacy at all, because it wasn't done in a large enough trial or among at-risk people, who would allow enough infection to occur to see if it would work. All it showed was safety to some degree—I mean, we didn't do a lot patients—but safety in those we looked at. And the fact that it induces an immune response, which one would argue was somewhat better than what you saw in the STEP trial.

There was some argument about that at several meetings. "Somewhat better" is what? A lot better? I didn't think it was a lot better.

If there were no other promising avenues - why would he terminate clinical trials? The possibility of "a little better" has no value to him? It just seems bizarre.

Don’t engage in homosexual anal sex or inject illegal drugs and your risk of getting AIDS is effectively nil. The media wants to normalize homosexuality, so they hype the small number of heterosexuals who catch AIDS and try to deflect attention from its primary means of transmission. Heterosexuals can catch AIDS, of course, but it’s very rare and also commonly linked to homosexual acts, like having sex with a bisexual male or receiving tainted blood from a homosexual.

And as we learned later, HIV/AIDS was used as cover for a political movement to normalize homosexuality, which ultimately turned them from social outcasts to a dominant leftist voting bloc.

The fact that Dr. Faucci was so instrumental in overstating the danger of HIV makes me extremely sceptic of the true nature of the current response to COVID-19 ...

Of course it happened. About 20% of new diagnoses in the USA are heterosexuals, close to 10,000 people in 2016.

Because the heterosexual population is far larger than the homosexual population 40,000 of them getting HIV is an epidemic while 10,000 heterosexuals is just notable.

Not for lack of trying. I remember watching (or listening to...don't recall if TV or radio) a homosexual activist saying he wanted queers to donate blood in order to infect straights, because that was the only way funding for AIDS research would be increased.
