Timely book recommendation: if you've never read it, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON is Randy Shilts' incredible telling of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci has a starring, and heroic, role. – source2020-03-11T21:11:50.000Z
Book is great but the movie pretty great too and horrifying similar failure of politicized science, just a way shorter timetable now – source
