If you believe that seropositivity indicates HIV infection or that AIDS is sexually transmitted, then this book is for you! For much too long, your health has been dangerously exposed to misleading information about AIDS. This book falsifies ten lies that are the pillars of the HIV/AIDS dogma.
 The authorities have lied, and I am not glad. Dr Michael Fitzpatrick, author of 1987’s The Truth About the AIDS Panic, says it is a shame that AIDS insiders did not expose the myths and opportunism of the AIDS industry earlier. But still, better late than never. A review of two new books.
How scared should we be of viruses and vaccines, HIV and AIDS? An investigative journey into a reckless and contaminated medical industry.
How the Medical Industry Continually Invents Epidemics, Making Billion-Dollar Profits at Our Expense. Virus Maniaby Torsten Engelbrecht and Dr. Claus Koehnlein

A Los Angeles Mother
Is the Basis of "Law & Order" Episode
 October 2008 -- The episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that aired Tuesday, Oct. 28 on NBC attempted to take on "AIDS denialism." The story centers on a character obviously based on Rethinking AIDS board member and Alive & Well founder Christine Maggiore. Maggiore's young daughter died in May 2005 of an amoxicillin reaction wrongly declared to be "AIDS." The factual and scientific errors in this TV show are too numerous to list here, but we will respond soon in more detail. In the meantime, watch for yourself here. Pure propaganda? The CDC knows that most people believe statements about medical issues made by fictional characters on TV shows, and the organization works hard to make sure as many shows as possible include their propaganda.

Intimidation and Lies
U.S. Tax Dollars at Work at
Los Alamos National Laboratory
July 2008 — Clark Baker, a retired Los Angeles Police officer, has identified Brian Foley, an employee of the U.S. government's Los Alamos National Laboratory, and at least two others, as the source of harassing and libelous e-mails, has filed a criminal compaint against one, and is threatening a lawsuit. The e-mails sought to discredit Baker's publicity role in the May 2008 Semmelweis Society "Clean Hands" Award, presented to Dr. Peter Duesberg and Celia Farber. Baker writes that decades of intimidation of scientists questioning HIV/AIDS have hurt incalculable numbers of people and damaged public health and trust, adding on his blog:
"After having investigated thousands of crimes and arrested hundreds of criminal gang members and other assorted predators, I know a criminal enterprise when I see one. HIV/AIDS makes Enron look like a neighborhood poker game."
Baker's report is available here and has been re-posted here and here. A PDF version is available here.

Heterosexual AIDS Epidemic

Press Release — June 27, 2008WHO Says That Only Africa Has a Heterosexual AIDS Epidemic — Why?SAN FRANCISCO (Rethinking AIDS) June 27, 2008 — According to a June 8, 2008, report in The Independent, Dr. Kevin De Cock, the head of AIDS efforts at the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the threat of a heterosexual AIDS pandemic is officially over and that decades of predictions that AIDS would spread through general populations across the globe were wrong . . . except in Sub-Saharan Africa. Why a heterosexual AIDS epidemic there and not here? According to former leading WHO epidemiologist James Chin, it's because Africans are uniquely promiscuous, engaging in multiple, concurrent sexual relationships, and also because African men are uncircumcised. Do scientific studies support the conclusion that Africans are an especially promiscuous people? And if the majority of males throughout the world are uncircumcised, why does naturally occurring male anatomy lead to AIDS only in Africa?

On February 14, 2008, Rethinking AIDS distributed a shortened version of the following objection to the (Product) RED art auction at Sotheby's in New York City, to patrons entering the building. Organized by Irish rock star Bono as part of a popular product-licensing program, the auction sought to raise money for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria by selling art including a red balloon animal expected to fetch up to $1.2 million.  Who could possibly object to that?
- On scientific grounds . . .
- On moral grounds . . .
- On compassionate grounds . . .
- On grounds of artistic taste and responsibility . . .

"We are still being told that Africa suffers a devastating AIDS epidemic. The gigantic numbers of infections yield gigantic amounts of public funds for research and thus researchers. What scientific judgment can we expect from experts who stand for a broad-based conviction that guarantees their income?"
