In my opinion, it sounds like sheer vindictiveness against voters of Mass to me. FH
I have a friend that died of AIDS he caught from a blood transfusion. He caught it back before people realized what AIDS really was. It was a sad thing to watch.
LOL. Good One!
I would expand that to include liberals.
Maybe that would be redundant
But, isn’t it wrong to let the market decide? ;)
I’m disabled as well, but I just take off my hearing aids, and presto, I’m a great donor! :)
AIDS is only a “gay disease” when someone threatens to cut funding...
Just to make sure no one thinks I was pulling that number out of my @ss, here's the CDC fact sheet (published 08/2009) on just this subject. The figures are more sobering than I imagined...
HIV and AIDS among Gay and Bisexual Men
This jumps out (MSM = Gay/Bisexual)...
MSM is the only risk group in the U.S. in which new HIV infections are increasing
Syphillis?
Pathological stupidity.
I wonder if Teresa’s B*itch would be willing to accept a transfusion of this “safe” homosexual blood should he have to go to hospital for another purple heart worthy ingrown toenail?
No, I didn’t think so.
Thanks for the link.
...not even the faintest tether to reality...
As long as they give it all and it is not used on humans.
Let the gay blood supply be used on Leech Kerry and other people who don’t see the risks that come with using it.
Kerry is a m-f liar. The fact the press never calls them on their lies shows a) how stupid the press is and b) how liberal the press is.
There is massive amounts of medical evidence compiled by the CDC in terms of STDs, incurable diseases, cancers, hepatitis strains, that totally support not allowing diesease-ridden homosexuals from donating blood.
There is still a window where contraction of the virus does not show up. Sex and drugs are considered the mainstay of the gay “lifestyle”. Let’s have Horseface get a unit from gays once a month and let him be the test subject—not my child or sister.
Of course John won’t be USING any of it, but it’s OK for the LITTLE PEOPLE!!!
So suicide isn’t just intended for the Democrats politically. Good to know...
From 2004:
....should the gay lifestyle be encouraged? Health care professionals are familiar with the medical challenges of homosexual men living the gay lifestyle. For you, the taxpayer, to be willing to pay government benefits for gay marriage or civil unions, you should consider what lifestyle your tax dollars will be supporting.
Remember, homosexual activity began “coming out of the closet” in 1973. Just eight short years later, in 1981, we have the first reported cases of an “unknown” disease killing gay men. AIDS has arrived..........
From 1981 through 1999, there were 751,965 cumulative reported cases of AIDS in the U.S. At least 56 percent of the AIDS diagnoses occurred in gay or bisexual men. In other words, two percent of the population had at least 56 percent of those reported AIDS diagnoses. The second largest group was IV drug users. What about heterosexual sex? In the U.S., persons who have been infected with HIV through heterosexual contact have usually had intercourse with someone in one of the high-risk categories — a bisexual male or someone who is an IV drug user. [13]
In the past 17 years, medications to combat HIV have been developed, which has decreased the numbers of persons with HIV progressing to an AIDS disease. A person diagnosed with HIV will be put on a complicated drug regimen (three or four drugs). The patient will be on these drugs, which have very unpleasant side effects, for life. However, one catastrophic problem combating HIV is that a person who is HIV-positive and receiving medication is still able to infect other people. The number of people in the U.S. that are HIV-positive has continued to grow. There are approximately 42,000 Americans infected with HIV each year (74 percent men, 26 percent women). The CDC estimates that 25 percent of persons who are HIV-positive are unaware they are infected, and 50 percent of all new diagnoses occur in persons younger than 25 years. Persons who have other sexually transmitted diseases (with sores) have a two-to-three times greater risk for becoming infected with HIV. It is now estimated that there are between 900,000 and 1,000,000 persons in the U.S. who are HIV-positive (included in that estimate are 400,000 to 450,000 gay/bisexual men). The medical community anticipates that there will soon be a large increase in AIDS; in the first three months of this year, there have already been 8,910 new cases diagnosed.
In addition to the physical, psychological, and emotional devastation of HIV/AIDS is the high cost of treatment. The wholesale cost for the combination drug therapies treating HIV is about $14,000 annually per patient. (Medication costs can be much higher depending on the drugs included in the regimen.) A study completed in 2002 estimated that costs treating patients who had progressed to an AIDS disease were around $34,000 annually per patient. [14] Variations in this approximation include medications, hospitalization, diagnostic costs and clinic costs. The health care costs of AIDS diseases and drugs for treating HIV have impacted your health insurance premiums tremendously. The direct costs of HIV/AIDS are similar to other very serious illnesses; however, the indirect costs are higher since HIV affects predominantly working-age persons. [15]
