AIDS has undoubtedly been the most politicized disease in history

National Review, June 30, 2008

AIDS has undoubtedly been the most politicized disease in history. A key feature of its politicization was the claim that without massive funding for prevention programs, the disease would escape into the general population from its bases among homosexual men and needle-using drug addicts. Heterosexuals were all under threat, we were told, along with their spouses and children. No one was safe! Yet as the years have passed, no heterosexual outbreak occurred except in sub-Saharan Africa, which has its own peculiar problems. Now the World Health Organization is conceding that there is unlikely to be a heterosexual epidemic outside of Africa in the future, either. Apologies should be sent to Michael Fumento, whose book The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS exposed the scam, to the outrage of AIDS activists, in 1990.
