No shortage of AIDS drama in San Francisco
by Kirk Read
Activists are squabbling over whether AIDS is over, but no one can argue
that there is any shortage of AIDS drama these days. The national media has
suddenly realized, after all these years, that there is indeed an AIDS
epidemic in Africa, and, by golly, maybe it ought to be covered. This has
everything to do with a series of badly documented media song and dance
routines, including Al Gore’s waltz with the pharmaceutical companies, the
South African president’s tango with alternative HIV theories, and the San
Francisco Department of Public Health’s “Crisis cha-cha,” replete with
Ginger Rogers-style backstepping. You people make me feel like dancing.
