Season Two: Heroes of the Early Years. Out now—new episodes released weekly. This season tells the stories of individuals who shaped the earliest response to AIDS in New York and San Francisco. Years before ACT UP burst onto the scene, these people did everything they could to get the gay community, the medical establishment, and the public to care about AIDS.

Dr. Anthony Fauci's costly mistake during the HIV/AIDS crisis

Dr. Anthony Fauci oversaw the U.S. response to COVID-19; decades earlier he oversaw the HIV/AIDS crisis. In the early years of HIV/AIDS there was a drug that could have saved thousands of lives... but Fauci didn't approve its use nor did he lead a study to test its efficacy. Why not?
