@Lomaxcat @georgetakei This is exactly correct. My wife worked at NIH at the time (not in this area though) and it was so heartbreaking and devastating. I still remember the first time seeing the quilt. And tbh I didn't know that many from the afflicted community. But knowing a few was enough to understand how desperate we were to find something, anything, to offer hope and maybe buy time until something more useful came along.
It's not unlike where we are now with Alzheimer's, now that I think about it.

Always disappointing when you find out that the person you thought you admired was just a facade and the real person is kind of a nut job.
