Georgia Rep. Betty Price (R), wife of former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price, defended her remark asking if people infected with HIV could be quarantined, insisting she was just being provocative.
I made a provocative and rhetorical comment as part of a free-flowing conversation which has been taken completely out of context, Price said in a statement published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday. I do not support a quarantine in this public health challenge and dilemma of undertreated HIV patients.
Prices question came last week during a study committee addressing challenges to health care access.
The committee was examining the spread of the HIV virus across the state of Georgia. In a video published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Price can be heard asking a question regarding the surveillance of individuals who come into close contact with patients infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Taken out of context? That's always the right's excuse when they're called out for saying something stupid.

I got some bob wire over here.

(17,984 posts)I would say your right that she was being a Nazi wanting to institute "quarantine camps". That's just a tad more than being "provocative".
