How many? How many have died of AIDS?
According to Shilts (”And the Band Played On”), the CDC and NIH knew as far back as the late 1970s that AIDS was being spread through the homosexual bath houses. They tried to shut them down until they could understand how it was spreading.
It was also known that AIDS was being spread through blood donations made by the homosexual community. It took a massive effort to shut that down. Now, apparently, the homosexual “lobby” has finally won the right to donate AIDS-infected blood to unknowing recipients.
The homosexual lobby protested and sued viciously to remain open.
They were a main reason AIDS spread so rampantly through the 80’s and 90’s.
exactly
This could really be the end of the blood donation system
I’m not sure they could have ever “stopped” it without tests.
