In the 80’s and 90’s, the pandemic was HIV/AIDs supposed transmitted from primates to humans thru cuts on hunters by the blood of primates. Then from migrants and sex trade. It was spread to US in the 70’s but didn’t get attention until the 80s
In the 80s, the story circulated that patient 0 or some say patient O (out of California) was an airline steward and had over 2500 partners across America. It was the start of considering it a “gay disease”
A number of authorities have since voiced reservations about the implications of the CDC's Patient Zero study and characterizations of Dugas as being responsible for bringing HIV to cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
With the increase of cases and death, a pandemic of fear spread through the US (sound familiar?) Crazy rumors were flying as to how one could catch AIDs including infected toilet seats 🤦🏻‍♀️

There was even talk of quarantining the infected
The 1980s AIDS campaign

“In the mid 1980s, there was intense media focus on this new and frightening disease with no known cure”

Of course MSM was there to amp up fear, confusion, panic. (again, sound familiar)
When the spread of a disease, fear, panic...it’s a perfect time for some to make money, I mean find a cure. 🙄
The first to step up was Burroughs Wellcome, a subsidiary of Wellcome Trust, a British drug company
Burroughs Wellcome Had a shelved drug Zidovudine, aka AZT. It was shelved because it was found to be highly toxic-one of the most toxic, expensive, and controversial drugs in the history of medicine
AZT had been an abandoned cancer drug, discarded because of it’s fatal toxicity, resurrected in the cynical belief that AIDS patients were going to die anyway, so trying it out was sort of like playing with the house’s money
It was a tragically perfect storm of windfall profits, something to pacify AIDS activists and the media, and a convenient boom to the patent holders for HIV testing.
“We do not know what will happen a year from now,” said panel chairman Dr. Itzhak Brook. “The data is just too premature, and the statistics are not really well done. The drug could actually be detrimental.”
Burroughs Wellcome reassured the panel that they would provide detailed two-year follow-up data, and that they would not let the drug get out of its intended parameters: as a stopgap measure for very sick patients. This ended up being false on all fronts
The side effects alone were very dangerous and very severe. It was chemotherapy. Patients were going to need blood transfusions. But once the FDA realized some were calling to reject it, they applied political pressure
1989-“Newspapers across America banner-headlined that AZT had been “proven to be effective in HIV antibody-positive, asymptomatic, and early ARC patients” even tho it was supposed to be used as last ditch effort to critically ill patients
1989- Dr. Anthony FAUCI, head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was now pushing to expand prescription. Even tho ATZ was toxic, no study was concluded or investigated. This was a TRAGIC decision.

Burroughs Wellcome stock went through the roof when the announcement was made. At a price of $8.000 per patient per year (not including blood-work and transfusions), AZT is the most expensive drug ever marketed. Cha chinggggg 💰
“AZT is the only antiretroviral drug that has received FDA approval for treatment of AIDS since the epidemic began ten years ago, and the decision to approve it was based on a single study that has long been declared invalid.“
The “study” Wellcome promised they would do, never happened. The study was so severely flawed that its conclusions must be considered, by the most basic scientific standards, unproven.
AZT was rampantly prescribed as soon as it was released, way beyond its purported parameters. The worst-case scenario had come true: Doctors interviewed by the New York Times later in 1987
revealed that they were already giving AZT to healthy people who had tested positive for antibodies to HIV.

Kinda like today...get a vaccine, healthy or not, Corona or not. What could go wrong?
Shortly after the study was stopped, the death rate accelerated in the AZT group. “I can’t see how this drug could be doing anything other than making people very sick” Dr. Harvey Bialy, scientific editor of the journal Biotechnology
Bialy: “There is no good evidence that HIV actively replicates in a person with AIDS, and if there isn’t much HIV replication to stop, it’s mostly killing HEALTHY cells.”
“It doesn’t really kill them,” Burroughs Wellcome scientist Sandra Lehrman argues. “You don’t necessarily have to destroy the cell, you can just change the function of it.”

UM, what?
Wonder if Fauci knew this:

“I’m convinced that if you gave AZT to a perfectly healthy athlete he would be dead in five years.”
August 17, 1989: The government has announced that 1.4 million healthy, HIV antibody-positive Americans could “benefit” from taking AZT, even though they show no symptoms of disease. 😫
#FridayMotivation
“New studies have “proven” that AZT is effective in stopping the progression of AIDS in asymptomatic and early ARC cases. Dr. Fauci, the head of NIH,

#FridayMotivation
Dr. FAUCI, head of NIH, proudly announced that a trial has been going on for “two years” had “clearly shown” that early intervention will keep AIDS at bay.”
This was a LIE! He pushed a toxic drug on unhealthy patients but healthy as well
#FridayMotivation
Dr Fauci: “Anyone who has antibodies to HIV and less than 500 T-4 cells should start taking AZT at once, he said. That is approximately 650,000 people. 1.4 million Americans”

AZT scandal, AIDS/HIV #FridayMotivation Wellcome Trust kickback?
Dr Fauci: “1.4 million Americans are assumed HIV antibody-positive, and eventually all of them may need to take AZT so they don’t get sick, Fauci contended.”
So he pushed toxic AZT drug
Fauci Fraud
#FridayMotivation
The almighty dollar is what wins. Some may say HCQ and ZPAK isn’t tested for corona either. The difference is both are currently USED and weren’t actually shelved due to toxicity & knowing to cause a large amount of deaths.
Those of us that didn’t live thru or remember well the panic, fear, deaths and ppl who were shouting out against AZT (I bet they were considered conspiracy theorists) should remember this movie:
AZT was KILLING them
