I believe that the way the American Government handled the AIDS epidemic in the 1980’s was a true crime story. Some might not see it that way, but to me it is clear. BY not taking it seriously or trying to help those affected by this mystery virus, the government tried and failed to usher in a genocide on homosexuals, using the bible as the reason. The evil of allowing people to die while you have the complete control to step in and help is a True Crime Story if I ever heard of it.
The Reagan Administration emerges as a central character, orchestrating a deliberate neglect of unprecedented proportions. The general disdain for the queer community during the 1980s AIDS epidemic paints a grim picture of a government callously turning a blind eye to the suffering masses.
The True Crime lens captures the changing face of AIDS, the struggles of marginalized communities, and the pivotal moment in 1996 with the introduction of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). This revolutionary therapy alters the trajectory, yet the scars of neglect run deep, leaving us to ponder the malevolent orchestration that allowed the epidemic to claim over 1
2,000 lives by 1985.
Was the AIDS epidemic a Christian-led genocide attempt, a dark chapter in the Reagan era?
