It's crazy that people are trying to make this comparison. They are worlds apart. Notice how the post and most people talking about it aren't discussing what he actually did? Because the situation gets a lot murkier when you learn the details.

"Experimenting on babies" - What?! That's unethical and immoral! Must be junk science with no benefit!

"Made babies at risk of HIV immune to it" - Well... That's good for the babies, but maybe he should have gone through proper channels.
