The title says it all...

If you want to know how a disease is politicized for reasons that have nothing to do with health. COVID 19 is not the first go-around that the US has had politicizing nonsense disease. Dr. Faucci (and others) has done this stuff before.
Considering that the CDC just released statistics that say deaths solely from COVID are only 6%, with the balance of 94% of cases having an average of 2.5 health and life-threatening conditions, this old book should end up on every concerned citizens' reading list.

Biased Media Does it Again

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

By now any reasonable person has to be aware of the incredible bias manifested by the mainstream media. From global warming to the media's campaign to ruin South Africa in the 1980's, to promoting homosexual marriages, the media is incredibly biased. The Myth of Heterosexual Aids exposes yet another media pogrom. In line with the media's attempt to normalize the abnormal - homosexuality - the book sets out in forensic detail their campaign to try to make AIDS a heterosexual rather than a homosexual problem. As the author documents, AIDS is very much a homosexual disease, closely linked to anal intercourse - the only 'intercourse' option for homosexuals. The problem is, the anus was never designed for intercourse. It was designed for the excretion of excrement - itself a witches brew of pathogens and disease. The anus lacks the vagina's lubrication mechanisms, and the anus' epithelium is very thin and tears easily, allowing direct blood contact. The vagina by contrast, is designed for the purpose, has thick, muscular walls, and lots of lubrication. Using factual data the author dismantles and exposes the media's attempt to obfuscate the real well-source of AIDS in their rush to protect and promote all things same-sex. The reader may have noticed that the media has an obsession with the promotion of same sex issues - why that is so is of course the subject matter for another book. But they are promoting homosexuality and so when a disease comes along that is primarily - as in about 98% - focused on that practice, the media mans the barricades and the usual lies, deceit, distortion, and obfuscation begin. Like we saw with the global warming fraud. For anyone wishing to arm themselves with the facts in order to refute the false claims and outright lies about homosexuality and AIDS itself, this is a very useful book because it provides terrific ammunition. In accordance with the media's fetish for promoting homosexuality, they studiously ignored The Myth when it was published. Just like any evidence showing that man-made global warming was a fiction, the media simply ignored this book, trying to make it a non-event by simply not giving it any publicity. The media treats everything that doesn't fit its agenda in this same fashion. Scientists who didn't 'believe' in global warming, for instance, were simply ignored and not published. Thanks to the direct contact and marketing provided by the Internet they've failed in their mission - at least among the thinking and inquisitive.

Myth also confronts the tremendous personal and societal damage done by media misinformation about AIDS. The havoc caused by the distortion of information by a leftist, activist media is almost incalculable. Pilots rely on accurate, factual information in order to safely fly their planes. What's our altitude? What are the weather conditions? Fuel status? Speed? Flap positions, and so on. In order to make sound decisions about a myriad of important issues in our lives we rely upon sound, accurate information. As Myth points out, the suppression of factual information about AIDS by the media led millions of people to make unsound, wrong, damaging, and even fatal decisions about the disease. The media's distorting of the facts about AIDS in the interest of promoting their biased view of homosexuality is nothing short of criminal. As Myth documents, when false reporting is exposed and corrected, AIDS is very much a homosexual affliction but because the mainstream media is on a campaign to normalize and even promote homosexuality, a disease clearly linked directly to the practice had to be covered up. Information had to be suppressed. Unfortunately, the suppression of information comes at a very high price - something the media activists seemed to care little about.

In summary, Myth is a must read for anyone intending to do battle with the forces of darkness in western society. The book provides the facts, figures, and accurate information needed to expose the media's cover-up of the truth about AIDS. Remember, facts, have the same effect on liberals as garlic does to a vampire!

This book was effectively censored until Amazon was created and I was able to finally buy it.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021

It came out in 1993. I heard about it in conservative magazines. But my local bookstores refused to carry it. They even told me it was full of lies and disinformation. Yet they carried books by the Joycelyn Elders crowd that touted that everyone was going to die from AIDS. Those were the lies and disinformation books and it was obvious to any level headed thinking person. Fumento's book was exactly correct.
It was 2000, seven years after it's release, that I was finally able to buy it from Amazon.
Congratulations to the 2000 version of Amazon.

James E. Van Buskirk was wrong...

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2009

The review from Library Journal that is so disparaging was written by James E. Van Buskirk, a gay librarian from San Francisco who contributed an article titled, "Queer Career" for a book edited by Norman G. Kester entitled, Liberating Minds: The Stories and Professional Lives of Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Librarians and Their Advocates. Here is a quote from that article by Buskirk - concerning being asked to review gay and lesbian titles by Library Journal - that illustrates why he is unfit to provide a review for any books about AIDS that don't toe the party line:

"I quickly realized that I had the potential to influence the acquisition of lesbian and gay materials by librarians all over the country. I took this position seriously and have continued to try to word my reviews so that librarians would be encouraged to acquire deserving titles for their collection"

Clearly Van Buskirk has taken that job too seriously and is now wording his reviews in such a way to discourage book buyers from titles he finds unpalatable. Van Buskirk accuses Fumento of an "insidiously homophobic, flippant style" something I'm sure he would accuse any author of who doesn't agree with the gay and lesbian polemic concerning AIDS funding. Anyone who has read the book or knows Fumento is well aware that Fumento is anything but "homophobic". This is a man that was an AIDS analyst and attorney for the US Commission on Human Rights. Nothing in his life or work has ever suggested that he is homophobic. I wonder if individuals in the gay and lesbian community are aware that hurling the accusation of homophobia has utterly and completely lost any meaning, because it is leveled at anyone that disagree with their position(s)? The bottom line is, Van Buskirk owes Fumento an apology for this accusation and Library Journal should immediately retract this review.

Van Buskirk concludes in his review that Fumento's "argument is contradicted by the continuing spread of AIDS among heterosexuals". Time has borne Fumento out to be very correct, as the incidents of AIDS in the heterosexual community has not grown, in fact it has drastically decreased. Cases within the heterosexual community are often the result of IV drug usage or sex with said. Fumento's book can now be said to be uncannily prophetic and accurate in the extreme, while Van Buskirk was wrong in more ways than one.

Great book but most people like to go along with what they hear on TV and Radio and newspaper so they would not take the time to read a book that has this many stats in it. Thanks.
