Made some strong statements myself. Getting flamed. What is it going to take to cause the nation to wake up, rise up and flush these people down the toilet for what they are doing?
“What is it going to take to cause the nation to wake up, rise up and flush these people down the toilet for what they are doing?”
Bears repeating on a tape loop, a ring tone, whatever means necessary to get it stuck in one’s mind that we as a nation are in extreme danger.
By all outward appearances, practically no one (in a position to make a significant difference) gives a flip.
From the airlines that keep flying into and out of hot zones despite the obvious dangers to not only the passengers and flight crew as well as whomever may come in contact with them to the CDC and the illustrious leader of the once very free US of A which by the way should be on this like stink on poo implementing containment protocols.
This (among other recent events) is pure insanity and if I might add diabolical.
Can you say MEGA EPIC FAIL or SUCCESS (obviously dependent on your perspective as well as objective)
Where is that Lost In Space robot flailing his arms about while wailing DANGER... DANGER... DANGER clip when I need it?
You’ve probably seen me kindof talk down supposed high risk situations. It has been my perception that a number of times there’s far too much hype. This is one where I am leery of poor management.
I am also leery of the ‘big lies’ appearing again.
Much of the AIDS problem stemmed from Reagan’s Surgeon General, himself a homosexual. C Everett Koop drove home the idea a condom would prevent infection. The questions were, were condoms specifically designed to withstand the rigors of homosexual sex? Could these condoms fail? And last but far from least, did he foresee condoms being disregarded in homosexual acts?
The whole campaign to safeguard the spread of AIDS was written in such a manner as to take any responsibility off homosexuals for engaging in risky sex. Koop couldn’t face the reality that a group of which he was a member, could be a severe risk to public health, and almost exclusively so.
Bath houses where a person could have multiple sex partners nightly, or even more over a weekend, were considered safe enough to keep open.
If you think of how a sexually transmitted disease spreads exponentially, it’s shocking to what lengths this surgeon general ignored known facts to allow AIDS to profligate almost without any regard to public safety.
01 Person one has sex with five people.
02 Five people have sex with five people.
03 Twenty-five people have sex with five people.
04 One hundred and twenty-five people have sex with five people.
05 Six hundred people have sex with five people
06 Three thousand people have sex with five people.
07 Fifteen thousand people have sex with five people.
08 Seventy-five thousand people have sex with five people.
09 Four hundred and fifty thousand people have sex with five people.
10 Two million four hundred and fifty thousand people have sex with five people.
At the end of level ten, you’ve got twelve million people infected.
This was Koop’s idea of how to safeguard the public. It was a betrayal of massive proportions.
It should also be noted, that in the mid 1980s homosexuals were readily admitting the most active in their communities would party at bath houses all weekend, and have far more than five partners in just one weekend.
This was okay with C Everet Koop, the CDC, and the NIH. Local community health departments went a long with it.
In San Francisco, there was upwards of a 50% infection rate in homosexual individuals.
Look, even if you’re a homosexual, and I would say especially if you were homosexual, look at how their community was betrayed by C Everet Koop.
He may have been trying to keep them from being stigmatized, but in truth he was facilitating the continuation of very dangerous practices, which resulted in a massive calamity on homosexuals.
It was unfair to the straight community. It was particularly unfair to the homosexual community.
Homosexuals were allowed to continue donating blood for quite a while. Imagine that. It was a known blood communicated disease and they didn’t safeguard the blood supply.
This mind-set was so prevalent that health care workers were not informed what type of patient they were dealing with. Physicians were not informed that their patients had HIV before surgeries.
One prominent physician resigned and wrote a book on the subject.
I do not want to see this type of thing get repeated.
