In the early 1980s, as AIDS was beginning its deadly tear, a Catholic priest told a radio audience in Boston that he sympathized with people who didn’t want to be around anyone who had the disease.
Dr. Robert “Chip” Schooley about popped a vein.
The young Harvard physician and infectious-disease expert got in touch with the station and relayed a blunt message to the priest: “If you ever make a comment like that again, I will reveal that the church is keeping priests who have AIDS out of sight at a monastery in Newton [Mass.].”
“He was stoking fears people had about those with HIV. It was wrong,” said Schooley, who has spent the past 16 years on the UC San Diego faculty.
