They did not die of AIDS, they died from TAKING the deadly medication. That's what the film suggests. Just watch it, it will make you think....AZT is a deadly medication. Originally Posted by IsabelOf course it's true. Also, cancer patients all die of chemo therapy.

Independent studies have arrived at almost identical estimates of the human costs of AIDS denialism in South Africa. According to a paper written by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, between 2000 and 2005, more than 330,000 deaths and an estimated 35,000 infant HIV infections occurred "because of a failure to accept the use of available [antiretroviral drugs] to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS in a timely manner." Nicoli Nattrass of the University of Cape Town estimates that 343,000 excess AIDS deaths and 171,000 infections resulted from the Mbeki administration's policies, an outcome she refers to in the words of Peter Mandelson as "genocide by sloth".This is a subject somewhat dear to me. 25 years ago I may have been the only straight member of ACT-UP in the city I was in.
Have you seen the movie? Dr. Peter is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences and a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and he is one of many, many scientists around the world who disagree with the AIDS, HIV theory. I'm just saying.There are lots of really smart people who have made very good contributions to science. True geniuses. A lot of them are real screwballs. Thats sometimes why they see something that no one else has figured out before. Sometimes they pursue some idea that the rest of the scientific community scoffs at and make some great scientific breakthrough.

Like I said, just judge it for yourself. Originally Posted by IsabelThere are lots of nutjobs out there. Plus a lot of unqualified people who will speculate. And "reporters" who will manipulate people into saying things and spice it up by careful editing.
Like I said, just judge it for yourself. Originally Posted by Isabel"Judge for yourself." By buying the movie, or paying to see it. Financially rewarding the nutjob who made the movie. Just like all the other nutjobs who are trying to make a buck off the gullible public.
