4. I'm from San Francisco. Those early AIDS deaths were horrible. No vaccine, not enough knowledge.

This death was probably preventable with a vaccine. Ironic that this guy and his "faith" community probably thought they didn't need the science and politicized an illness and a vaccine against a deadly disease, yet his career was based on the science of fire fighting, and he most certainly would not have gone into a burning building without his 02 and a suit. He's no hero.
