This is downright genocidal. Revoking access to HIV meds will cause new infections to skyrocket while current patients deteriorate as HIV goes untreated.
I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me.

“Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5
