Questions have also arisen about AIDS being transmitted to hemophiliacs via blood transfusions.

There exist thousands of Americans who have AIDS-defining diseases but are HIV negative.

To address questions of scientific responsibility does not necessarily imply that one needs technical competence in a particular field (e.g. biology) to evaluate certain technical matters.

Of course, there are diseases of which people die.

I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.

I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior.

Of course, screening for HIV did essentially eliminate the transmission of this virus by transfusions.
