AIDS v STAPH: Hollywood Ignorance or Bias?
What makes a celebrity cause?"More than 90,000 Americans get potentially deadly infections each year from a drug-resistant staph "superbug," the government reported Tuesday in its first overall estimate of invasive disease caused by the germ."
"Deaths tied to these infections may exceed those caused by AIDS, said one public health expert commenting on the new study."
So, where is Hollywood's Red Ribbon? Why does something like AIDS receive so much attention, when it is largely caused by unprotected sex (irresponsibility) versus something that attacks completely innocent people?
Is it Hollywood's gay connection? Is it an ignorant media?
