HIV deniers want human rights hero jailed
quote:
HiEv:
Zackie Achmat, a South African activist, founder and chairman of Treatment Action Campaign (TAC; a South African AIDS activism group), winner of the 2001 Desmond Tutu Leadership Award, the 2003 Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights, and the 2003 Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights, is now being attacked by Matthias Rath, a German vitamin advocate, and Anthony Brink, creator of Treatment Information Group, an anti-HIV drug and HIV denial group, for successfully getting South African AIDS victims access to anti-HIV drugs. Yes, that's right, they want Achmat locked up for making it possible for AIDS victims to receive the drugs that help them fight the virus. Ben Goldacre's "Bad Science" column has the details:
I didn't copy all of his links and there is way more than this quote, so please follow the above link to the thread for the rest of the story.

Hey, guess what I found!
http://www.aras.ab.ca/aidsquotes.htm
“If you were to go back and audit the evidence without a prejudice in favor of the reigning theory, the conclusion would be that [HIV is] harmless. A correlation does not prove causation. People who are very sick have lots of infections and foreign proteins in their blood. They may test positive for lots of things, but that doesn't mean that those things are causing their condition.”
Aids, a Second Opinion
— Phillip Johnson, Senior Professor of Law, University of California at Berkeley
At the bottom is a link to the group mentioned in the OP, as well as to the website Johnson's affiliated with: virusmyth.net.
So, they're going after the people who make anti-aids drugs accessible? Well, maybe that shows the dangers of the thinking of people like these, eh? |
