Before COVID, America had already fought a bitter, emotional, and deeply consequential public-health battle during the AIDS crisis.
In this video, I reflect on Cramer & Fauci, a recent stage play that recreates a tense 1990s C-SPAN call-in show between Dr. Anthony Fauci and AIDS activist Larry Kramer. The play captures the clash between government institutions and activists during the early years of HIV/AIDS—when fear, urgency, bureaucracy, and uncertainty collided in ways that still feel familiar today.
Watching it now, it’s hard not to recognize the echoes: debates over scientific caution versus moral urgency, the role of government during a public-health emergency, and how societies struggle to respond to disease while it’s actively unfolding.
The AIDS crisis is no longer front of mind for many Americans, but the arguments it sparked—and the tensions it exposed—help explain how we reacted to COVID decades later.
This is not a political argument. It’s a historical reflection on how America confronts plagues, disagreement, and uncertainty—and why those patterns repeat.
