Letter: Aids pandemic is all too real
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WE WRITE from the board of directors of the CIDSE (Catholic development) Agencies to congratulate your paper on exploding the myth pedalled by the Sunday Times that the Aids pandemic does not exist.
We regard the Sunday Times campaign as unscientific and dangerous. We assure readers that Aids is a leading killer of the young and economically active of the Third World. If adequate resources are not put into preventing its spread, the results will be devastating.
