Trump Fires HIV/AIDS Council In Its Entirety By FEDEX Letter, Report Claims
Newsweek ^ | Dec 29, 2017 | Callum Paton

Posted on 12/29/2017 9:07:52 AM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

President Donald Trump fired the remaining members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) Wednesday, reportedly informing them without explanation with a letter delivered by FedEx.

The mass dismissal of the advisers marked another nadir in the administration’s dealing with the council. In June, six members resigned from PACHA writing in an open letter, published in Newsweek, saying the Trump White House was pushing for legislation that would harm people living with HIV.

Scott A. Schoettes, a Chicago-based HIV/AIDS activist and one of the members of the advisory panel who resigned over the summer, tweeted yesterday that the remaining council members had been fired for calling President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence “dangerous.”

“Remaining #HIV/AIDS council members booted by @realDonaldTrump. No respect for their service,” Schoettes wrote on the social media site. “Dangerous that #Trump and Co. (Pence esp.) are eliminating few remaining people willing to push back against harmful policies, like abstinence-only sex ed,” he added.

My ardent wish is that Trump would appoint conservatives to this Council who understand what prolongs this senseless epidemic. They should recommend that anyone taking government-sponsored anti-viral drugs to control the disease MUST stop engaging in any behavior which spreads it, "protected" or not.

If they are caught engaging in risky behavior, which means men having ANY sex with another man or drug abuse, all drug support is pulled immediately.

Finance your own damn lifestyle.

Well, I’ll tell ya, IMO, if you’re told a lie, don’t repeat it. Neutralize the lie by speaking the truth. Lies aren’t defeated by repeating the lie. Lies are defeated by repeating the truth. IMO THAT is what we should be doing here on FR.

If a Lying Leftist’s lie is newsworthy (most are not but get posted here anyway), then post the TRUTH about the freaking lie.

Abstinence-only is ‘harmful policy’? It’s the ONLY guaranteed way to prevent getting AIDS.

They are a living caricature of progressive idiocy.

It’s been long enough. If people cannot figure out after decades of AIDS education, sometimes over-the-top “education,” how to avoid catching and spreading it, then their blood be on their own heads.

Are you kidding? Just look at the cashcow ciggarettes are for the anti tobacco crowd! After over 50 years of edjumacating and hammering everyone from kindergartners to seniors that smoking causes cancer they still want more taxpayer and smokers cash to edjumacate and people still get awarded obscene amounts for doing something they freely chose to do and were well aware what the consequences would be.

This is Amerika and the only people expected to pay the consequences for thier actions are Conservatives.

Why USPS? Use email. That's free

Use Postal Express mail. When it fails to get there the next day, you get a refund, so it's effectively free. A very good bargain for businesses that don't really need next day delivery.

"....Remaining #HIV/AIDS council members booted by @realDonaldTrump. No respect for their service...."

Trump showed as much respect to them as they showed to him when they called President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence “dangerous.”

Go to the top of the mountain to view the world, instead of thinking the entire world is revolving around you.

The only difference - and a glaring one - is that smoking has been pretty much condemned by society for what it is, while homosexual behavior, the prime vector for AIDS, is promoted and encouraged.

HPV is also spread by anal sex. Maybe MRSA (not sure that’s the correct abbreviation). Others?
