They never even closed the bathhouses in the eighties. What the hell is he talking about?
right....and the non-gay population suffered during the AIDS crisis, as well, by being told that “everyone was at risk”.
So I get what the author is saying, and there is some merit in that. But the real point is that the CDC/Fauci always want to spread as much falsehood and fear as possible, and about that, all non-communists should agree (including gays who were unfairly stigmatized as being a “general” public health threat, which they were not....they were, however, a massive threat to each other).
Incidentally, I would challenge all of us to consider how many people we personally knew who died of AIDS, and compare that to how many we personally knew who died of Covid. I can tell you my knowledge of that first category is probably ten to 1.
Exactly. What a terrible and stupid first liner to an article.
Well, as far as I know, some cities did close bathhouses. Though perhaps under the guise of public health but possibly just to “move” people they didn’t want hanging around and forcing a sale of the properties to developers to raise the property tax and sales tax revenues.
