“There was no excuse, in this country and in this time, for the spread of a deadly new epidemic. For this was a time in which the United States boasted the world’s most sophisticated medicine and the world’s most extensive public health system, geared to eliminate such pestilence form our national life. When the virus appeared, the world’s richest nation housed the most lavishly financed scientific research establishments-both inside the vast governmental health bureaucracy and in other institutions – to investigate new diseases and quickly bring them under control.”
– Journalist/ Historian Randy Shilts in ‘And The Band Played On.’
It always seems so odd to me to have a single day designated to remember the devastation wrought by AIDS. I have loved these guys every day since they left …and I will remember them every day for the rest of my life.
