I think you read more than he said. I'm not sure what Animats meant, but I don't think he said whatever you're responding to.

Could it be in reference to the AIDS epidemic, with quotes such as this classifying the early days of that?

I don't think he said anything that merits more than a "what do you mean?" in response.

So I ask this person too, "what do you mean?"
