HIV and AIDS A Public Health System Debacle
Roanoke Times, 6-20-2021, Pg NandW B3: HIV and AIDS: 40 Years Later
A closer look at the epidemic that’s killed 32-million people (so far)
A Mayo Clinic News:

Yet another news article totally devoid of the massive malfeasance by government entities that hid and then enabled this virus to become a massive pandemic.
New York and California, the epicenters of the pandemic, enacted public health rules that shutdown the public health systems in-place since Typhoid Mary used to identify and isolate virulent communicable diseases.
These actions were brought to light by:

Larry Kramer used voice, pen to raise consciousness on AIDS

“Kramer, 84, whose angry voice and pen raised consciousness about AIDS and roused thousands to action, died Wednesday at 84. His art was often as blunt as his anger, but his dedication was unwavering.”

Unfortunately, this 2020 RT-AP Kramer article totally fails to reflect upon the massive malfeasance of the government actions that resulted in this epidemic becoming a pandemic not just within the gay community but throughout the community at large including the blood banks, bisexuals, drug users, prostitutes and ultimately promiscuous persons of all ilk throughout the country.
Leading this criminal malfeasance of the public health systems were NY Gov. Mario Cuomo and NYC Mayor Ed Koch, himself a gay.

The public-health system criminal malfeasance of NYC and NY State:
Specific New York actions in the 1980’s and 1990’s resulted in a list that is difficult to read no less comprehend -- what the hell were they thinking?
-
* A testing laboratory CAN NOT advise a doctor that the results of a blood test the doctor ordered for a patient is HIV+. Only the patient is notified.
* A parent CAN NOT be advised if their child is HIV+.
* A spouse CAN NOT be advised if their partner is HIV+.
* Rape or sexual abuse victims CAN NOT find out if their abuser is HIV+.
* There is no requirement for an HIV+ person to advise or notify their intimate partners of their condition even though this is clearly the most dangerous concealed weapon in our society.
* There is no requirement for an HIV+ person to take reasonable or prudent steps to avoid contamination of others.
* There is no requirement that an HIV+ person can not sell their blood to a blood bank, it's up to the blood bank to detect the virus and dispose of it without notification to the Public Health Department.

* The pre-marriage blood test was eliminated thereby placing newly-wed partners at risk.
* The state and local health departments are not allowed to intervene in the plague's progress: no interviews, no determination of contacts, no containment and no direct management to halt the spread of the virus by known carriers.
* In New York HIV+ and AIDS are by law NOT defined to be sexually transmitted diseases and therefore are not processed or managed by the Public Health Systems as are all other STD's!
* Even though New York has one of the highest rates of HIV+ and AIDS it did not, by law, report any data to the federal Center for Disease Control for multiple early years.

In retrospect, it is very difficult to comprehend the extent and magnitude of our government health system malfeasance in the HIV+AIDS Pandemic and the awful outcomes that resulted.
It’s as if the public health systems from Typhoid Mary never existed and secrecy was far more important than containment and saving lives.

There is scant evidence that he objected to the malfeasance actions taken by Gov Cuomo or Mayor Koch
Has there ever been such a politically astute doctor?
