1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: It's well documented from the time of the Black Death

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: in thirteen forty eight that with almost every epidemic, people

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: respond to the epidemic in exactly the same predictable ways.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: The first thing they do is they deny that it's

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: even occurred.

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: Does anybody that White House know about this epidemic?

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know anything about any And then they

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: want to blame someone for having caused it.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: Almost sexual promise, gourity is a violation of God's laws.

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: We pay the price when we violate the laws of God.

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: They then start losing faith in institutions. You know, the

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: institutions that were supposed to protect them are now a suspect.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: You can't trust the medical establishment, you can't trust the media,

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: and you certainly can't trust the government.

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: And at the same time there's inappropriate legislation.

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: You had the preachers who were calling for quarantine and

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 4: putting people in camps and tattooing their HIV status on

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 4: their bodies.

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: This has occurred in epidemic after epidemic after epidemy, and

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: of course we saw it in spades.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 5: With the aids up at him.

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 6: I'm Leon Nafock, host of Fiasco in our New season,

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 6: we're looking back at the beginning of AIDS in America.

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: It's mysterious, it's deadly, and it's baffling medical science.

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 7: It was something nobody had ever seen. Within just five years,

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 7: almost everyone I knew was dead or dying.

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: Forty million infected people.

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 6: Is a pay fiasco. The AIDS crisis coming soon only
