How Long Until FDA’s Blood Donations Policy Creates the Next Ryan White?

The FDA decided to end the ban on blood donations from gay men because this administration puts the health of Americans behind the self-esteem of those infected with HIV or Ebola, as we learned this summer.
Gay men will be able to donate blood one year after their last sexual contact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday, under a proposal that will be introduced early next year to end a ban that has been in place since 1983.
There are three problems with that.
1. Those gay men don’t exist
2. The next step is to remove the ban entirely
3. It takes a lot on faith
Why did we even have a policy like that? Two words: Ryan White.
Ryan was a hemophiliac who became infected because the blood supply wasn’t clean. He was cynically used as a poster child for AIDS even though the entire reason he had AIDS was because of blood donations from the population most likely to have it, namely gay men.
So now the FDA is trying to create more Ryan Whites because gay rights trumps the health of people who need transfusions. The very people who cynically used Ryan White now want to ensure a steady supply of them. You’ve gotta create new family friendly “AIDS activists”.
The facts are simple and straightforward
1. AIDS remains primarily a gay disease. Lately the media, after lying about it for decades, has been willing to admit it.
TheĀ New York City health department reported that in 2008, 1,751 of the 4,022 new HIV-positive diagnoses in the city were gay/bi men, further swelling the ranks of the 106,590 New Yorkers (more than 34,000 of them gay and bi men) living with HIV.
2. The average number of sexual partners for a man is 6-8. For a gay men, the numbers are something else entirely.
The Dutch study of partnered homosexuals, which was published in the journal AIDS, found that men with a steady partner had an average of eight sexual partners per year.
Bell and Weinberg, in their classic study of male and female homosexuality, found that 43 percent of white male homosexuals had sex with 500 or more partners, with 28 percent having one thousand or more sex partners.
3. That group of celebrate gay men the FDA just approved doesn’t exist. Which means that either…
A. There will be no blood donations of any significant number from gay men making that policy useless
B. The blood will be donated by gay men who mislead about their lifestyle.
Cue the next 13-year-old boy who becomes an AIDS activist against his will.
