Genocide of all Non-Whites, Non-males and Non-heterosexuals?… SILENCE = DEATH" (en)

- Through the lack of both policy and financial support, the United States Centers for Disease Control was severely handicapped during the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Senior staff of the Reagan Administration did not understand the essential role of Government in disease prevention. Although CDC clearly documented the dangers of HIV and AIDS early in the epidemic, refusal by the White House to deliver prevention programs then certainly allowed HIV to become more widely seeded. (en)
- I feel you can never separate your faith from yourself. On the other hand, I am the surgeon general, not the chaplain of the public health service. (en)
- Congress would have to discern for itself how much money government doctors needed to fight AIDS. The administration would resist but not put itself in the position of an on-the-record funding veto. The epidemic's research would survive from continuing resolution to continuing resolution, a game that would ultimately achieve some funding for the doctors while disabling any attempt to plan ahead for studies that might be needed as the scourge continued to grow. (en)
- It was commonly accepted now, among the people who had understood the threat for many years, that there were two clear phases to the disease in the United States: there was AIDS before Rock Hudson and AIDS after. (en)
