  1. Celia Farber is right on the money. The evidence is mounting up that the AIDS industry is on the wrong track.

  2. If I may, since this is my web site and I’ve spent a fair amount of time reporting in Africa on AIDS: No. You’re wrong.
    Celia Farber is not on the right track. The evidence is not mounting. AIDS is not a fictitious disease, and it is caused by HIV, not drug-company conspiracies. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

  3. Right on, Josh. There’s a growing school of denial/conspiracy activism that relies on the fact that most people hate large corporations. The idea that drug companies might engage in potentially unethical acts is not anathema to most people. As someone who alive today because of a combination of academic research and pharameceutical companies spending billions of dollars, I am not loathe still to believe that Big Pharma might do Bad Things.
    But you take that and combine it, as these theories typically do, with the requirements that hundreds of thousands or millions of people are engaged in a coordinated conspiracy and none of them have squawked.
    I know a number of people who died from AIDS. They were all gay. They died before the modern drug regimen was available. None of them met the denier’s profile.
    This is so close to Holocaust denial, which also would have required literally tens of millions of co-conspirists. The fact that I can go and find the names of, you know, 500,000 concentration camp guards and talk to their families; that there are photographs; that are millions of pages of meticulous records kept by individuals…
    Same kind of issue. How much fabrication and coordination is required to produce what the deniers claim is reality?
    The idea that there’s an AIDS industry cracks me up, too. I don’t hear about a cancer industry. I had about $80,000 worth of cancer treatment back in 1998. There’s a good markup on the drugs and radiation treatment that I got. I haven’t heard anyone claim (yet) that cancer is made up. I expect we will hear that before long, too. I just hope not in Harper’s.
    Now I just need to scream: aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeergggggh. I feel better.
