Ep 1: AIDS & the Hepatitis B Vaccine Trials

In the late 70's and early 80's, homosexual men were selected by the CDC to participate in a government sponsored hepatitis b vaccine experiment that took place across five large cities in the United States.

Five months later, numerous cases of a rare disease amongst homosexual men were reported to the CDC in the same five cities as the hepatitis b vaccine trials.

The rare disease later became known as the AIDS virus.
