Yeah, Reagan funneled the money to rich people so they can buy more yachts and then when Rock Hudson died and it was suddenly discovered that virus was already pandemic in the nation, they just blamed the victims with the help of Christian organizations. I mean when Rock Hudson died there were already something like 12,000 Americans dead or dying of AIDS and hundreds of thousands more were infected.
What is also interesting is that writer of the book "And the Band Played On" died of AIDS shortly after the book was published.
So sad; I did not know that.
I remember the early 1980s very well, especially, the 1980 election where Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter. What a loss for our nation and for the World! At that time I was a brainwashed evangelical Christian, and we were all gathered in our pastor's parsonage, watching the returns on national TV. It was the Evangelicals who propelled Reagan into power, whom, after which, he ignored; the AIDS victims were too much of a political hot potato for him. I was taught that AIDS was a punishment from God against the sin of homosexuality.
