In reply to the discussion: COVID death celebration evokes memories of HIV death celebration [View all]Farmer-Rick
(12,030 posts)Equating someone who has AIDS because they had sex with someone is not the same as someone refusing medical attention because they align themselves with a dangerous political ideology.
Yes, there are other ways to get AIDS, but the people who were cheering the deaths of AIDS victims, were cheering because they thought the person was gay. It's the same people who now are refusing vaccines and not wearing masks. Yeah, there are a few who don't get vaccinated because they don't have time, are medically unable or don't care, but the majority deliberately do not get vaccinated because they align themselves with the cult of Trump. Not innocent victims of a pandemic but willing spreaders of a deadly disease.
Yeah, there were some, not many, who were arrested for spreading AIDS but very few people who knowingly and gleefully spread COVID are held accountable. Oh well you died because your adult neighbor doesn't believe in vaccines, too bad so sad but that maskless, unvaccinated neighbor breathed on you.
Your last paragraph says it all: "No way. Equating someone's 'choices' about their sexuality, and they die of AIDS, to being glad someone is no longer around, who is actively seeking to destroy my family, is ridiculous."
