Why, if the nation’s blood supplies are safe from AIDS, does CBS show us that the way to avoid getting contaminated blood is to donate your own blood several weeks in advance of your elective surgery so you won’t run any risk? And what about the people who need blood after an automobile accident they didn’t plan to have?
Why do the media keep telling us again and again that the AIDS-screening test makes blood supplies “safe,” when doctors admit that 2,000 persons per year will be infected with the deadly AIDS virus from AIDS-contaminated blood transfusions?
Why, when it has been well known for years what kinds of people are the majority of AIDS carriers, does our government not make it a crime for people in those high-risk groups to donate blood?
Why are we continually told that the AIDS-antibody test will screen out all AIDS-infected blood when the fact is that there is an up-to-six-month lag between the time a person becomes infected with AIDS and the time that person shows “positive” on the AIDS antibody test?
Why don’t we hear complaints from “civil liberties” groups against those whose negligence allowed an estimated 9,000 hemophiliacs plus 20,000 other innocent people to become infected with the AIDS virus from blood transfusions, when most contamination could have been avoided by preventing homosexuals from donating blood to blood banks?
Why are we not told that at least two million Americans are permanently infected with the AIDS virus, that they are all infectious to others, and that 30 to 45 percent will develop AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC) within about five years of becoming infected?
Why are we not told that the statistics of AIDS victims are grievously understated because the Centers for Disease Control do not include in their reported AIDS cases the ten times as many persons suffering from AIDS related complex who are also capable of transmitting AIDS to others?
Why are we not told in primetime news that the Centers for Disease Control spokesman said that “in many areas the number of persons infected with AIDS is at least 100 times greater than that of reported cases of AIDS”? Why are we not told that 70 to 90 percent of homosexuals in San Francisco and New York City are AIDS-infected and AIDS-infectious?
Why are young boys and men not warned that all who engage in homosexual activities can expect to become infected with AIDS, just as the Centers for Disease Control now warn that all such persons are virtually certain to get Hepatitis B and should be vaccinated?
Why do the media, which generally show sex so explicitly and often offensively, suddenly become so prudish when it comes to telling the American people about the bizarre, bloody, and unsanitary acts of male homosexuals which spread AIDS, and about their extravagant promiscuity which spreads AIDS so rapidly?
Why is AIDS presented by the media as a homosexuals’ civil rights problem instead of as a public health problem which the government can isolate and treat as it treats other virulent sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis?
Why do the media carry on a massive campaign to convince us that AIDS cannot be transmitted by non-sexual, non-bloody contacts, but do not tell us the elaborate precautions given to health care workers who serve AIDS patients?
Why does media coverage of AIDS focus obsessively on how much money is, or is not, spent on research, and not focus on how people become infected with AIDS and how they can avoid becoming infected?
Why do the media continue to repeat the myth that “people don’t die of AIDS; they die of other diseases they can’t fight off because of AIDS,” when it has been well known for two years that the AIDS virus can kill directly by destroying cells in the brain?
Why are we given extravagant news coverage of speculation about a cure, when in truth there is no prospect of a cure in the foreseeable future because AIDS is a “lentivirus,” a deadly and little understood family of viruses that mutates very rapidly and has been completely resistant to treatment or vaccine?
Why do the media, in news, interviews, and entertainment, continually feature heterosexual AIDS victims, when three-fourths of all AIDS cases are male homosexuals?
For all those who have been wondering why, there is now a new book called “The AIDS Cover-Up” by Gene Antonio (Ignatius Press, San Francisco, CA). Its 376 footnotes are mostly from medical journals, and it’s no wonder that it’s being called the book that stopped Chicago from passing Mayor Harold Washington’s “gay rights” ordinance.
