The Rise and Fall of ACT UP

Anthony Fauci, the current liberal hero who has mishandled the coronavirus pandemic and bent science to the needs of corporations, was himself one of the largest barriers to getting drugs into bodies. In particular, his lack of action on the PCP crisis among people with AIDS led to tens of thousands of premature deaths. The organization had no official membership or dues. Anyone could vote after attending a couple of meetings and meetings were open to anyone. It did not have an official publication but in 1989, Outweek was started as a weekly publication and was unofficially referred to as ACT UP's provda.
