A red poster with a white swirl like the Coca-Cola logo and the words “Enjoy AZT.” At the bottom, smaller text reads, “IS THIS HEALTH CARE OR WEALTH CARE?” Above the question, in fine print, it reads, “The U.S. government has spent one billion dollars over the past 10 years to research new AIDS drugs. The result. 1 drug-AZT. It makes half of the people who try it sick and the other half it stops working after a year. Is AZT the last, best hope for people with AIDS, or is it a short-cut to the killing Burroughs Wellcome is making in the AIDS marketplace? Scores of drugs languish in government pipelines, while fortunes are made on this monopoly.”
