atlantabiolab said:I agree with your other assertions, but please explain how Reagan caused AIDS and the death of people who contracted HIV. Did every administration cause the death of Influenza victims? Was the Bush administration responsible for the deaths of West Nile Virus victims?
I never said that AIDS was caused by Reagan. I did say "ignored by Reagan while AIDS destroyed them by the thousands". And it's true. Reagan never mentioned the word AIDS in public speeches until 1987 - six years later. By the end of 1986, 42,255 AIDS cases were diagnosed in the US and 24,669 people are dead. Before this many cases and deaths - shouldn't he have mentioned the DAMN WORD when this many people are dying - his own people?

I urge you to see the movie: And the Band Played On or read the book.
