Summary

This quote highlights the perceived weakening and vulnerability of the moral conscience in the country. Drawing a parallel with the AIDS virus, it suggests that the neglect and disregard over the past twelve years have caused a breakdown in multiple aspects of society. The metaphor implies that just as an immune system protects the body from harm, a strong moral foundation is necessary for protection in various areas like the environment, culture, politics, spirituality, and physical well-being. The quote therefore emphasizes the dire consequences of this alleged negligence on the nation's overall health and well-being.
