Aids Epidemic & Anthony Fauci
Posted by Sandy on March 1, 2022 · Leave a Comment
How much of what happened during the Aids epidemic sounds familiar 30 years later with the Carona Virus?
People ask: Where did AIDS originally start?
“Where did HIV come from?”
HIV infection in humans came from a type of chimpanzee in Central Africa. The chimpanzee version of the virus (called simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV) was probably passed to humans when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came in contact with their infected blood.”
“Dr. Fauci was appointed director of NIAID ( National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease) in 1984. He oversees an extensive portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases,”

May 25, 2003 Dr. Fauci on AIDS Oncology Times:
WASHINGTON, DC—”The news about the number of AIDS cases is bad and getting worse, said Anthony S. Fauci, MD, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), speaking to a science writers association here last month.”
In the United States, 980,000 people are living with AIDS. In the world, 42 million people have the disease—29.4 million in sub-Saharan Africa alone.
Between 1999 and 2001, AIDS increased by 14% in gay men and 10% in heterosexuals, he said. The incidence is now 50% black, 29% white, and 19% Hispanic. Much of this new pattern is fueled by drug abuse, said Dr. Fauci.”
Three decades before coronavirus, Anthony Fauci took heat from AIDS protesters
“AIDS protesters hold flares and signs during a raucous demonstration at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., on May 21, 1990.
“Act Up, Fight Back, Fight AIDS!” The angry chanting grew louder as hundreds of protesters wove through the usually placid campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda on May 21, 1990.
With signs that read “Red Tape Kills Us” and “NIH — Negligence, Incompetence and Horror,” members of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, or ACT UP, marched toward a row of police officers in riot gear guarding Building One. Suddenly, the pack parted and a small group of protesters ran through the middle of the crowd, right to the police line, bearing torches spewing rainbow-colored smoke. Chaos erupted between the screaming crowd and police, each pushing and shoving back and forth.
For months, ACT UP had been formally urging Fauci to include their members in the government’s development process for AIDS drugs.
Fauci, now under attack by some Trump supporters for his response to the coronavirus pandemic, was in favor of the group’s participation.
“I was trying to get them into all the planning meetings for the clinical trials,” Fauci said last week, taking time out from the coronavirus fight to look back at another deadly disease he managed 30 years ago. But he met increasing resistance from the scientific community, who were put off by ACT UP tactics.” People fighting for their lives put off the scientific community.

“Disparities and Discrimination”
“HIV was first identified in MSM, (Mainstream Media) which served to increase the discrimination this community was already facing. It quickly became clear, however, that the emerging HIV epidemic was impacting other communities as well.
The first cases of HIV in women were identified in 1983. And, in 1986, the CDC reported that AIDS was disproportionately impacting Blacks/African Americans and Hispanic/Latino Americans. Early in the epidemic, misinformation was abundant.”
“Advocacy and Activism”
“In the face of this kind of stigma, many of the communities most impacted by HIV became fierce advocates for their needs. Founded out of the LGBTQ+ movement, the HIV community has a history of activism that has shaped the course of the epidemic.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, groups like GMHC (formerly the Gay Men’s Health Crisis), ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), NMAC (formerly National Minority AIDS Council), the Latino Commission on AIDS, and the Black AIDS Institute (BAI) formed to offer direct services, provide education, amplify the voices of marginalized communities, and advocate for laws and policies that could help those suffering most. They fought for increased investment in research, care, prevention, and other services that people living with HIV needed, like housing and employment programs”
“The Fauci’s ran a neighborhood pharmacy at 13th Avenue and 83rd Street and lived in an apartment above. The whole family helped out in the business — his dad working in the back of the pharmacy while his mother and sister operated the register. Tony delivered prescriptions from the time he was old enough to ride a bike. Strong family relationships were an important part of Tony’s upbringing.” Double click picture to enlarge.

Fauci has been involved with pharmaceutical’s from the time he learned to ride a bike.
Now we have the Carona Virus developed in Communist China and I have two question which will never be answered.
Was Aids really caused by chimpanzee or was it developed in a petri dish?
Is it a coincidence Dr Anthony Fauci oversaw both epidemics, Aids & Carona Virus, where mis-information was wide spread?
The end!
