It's not anthrax or terrorism or AIDS that is the worst ill in our world: The most horrible disease in the world is hate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Anthrax is a deadly inhalational disease.
Too many people hate the people that AIDS most affects: gay people and people of color. I do not mean dislike, or feel uncomfortable with. I mean hate. Downright hate. Down and dirty hate.
But I am just as appalled that my experience, knowledge, dedication and service relative to defending the United States against biological warfare has been turned against me in connection with the search for the anthrax killer.
If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror.
America's most dangerous diseases have developed an immunity to politics. We suffer not from a failure of political organization or power, but a failure of love.
AIDS is a complex situation that's sure to bring out the best and the worst in people.
The belief that the world is getting worse, that we can't solve extreme poverty and disease, isn't just mistaken. It is harmful.
Hospital-acquired infections are now killing more people every year in the United States than die from AIDS or cancer or car accidents combined - about 100,000.
Comforts and syphilis are the greatest enemies of mankind.
Smallpox was the worst disease in history. It killed more people than all the wars in history.
