It's crazy how these people act. Not only do they have some people like Philip Johnson (see the two links below) who are also evolution deniers, but unlike the ID bs artists, these HIV deniers' actions are much more immediately dangerous to people.

The worst part is this woman is HIV positive and is breastfeeding her child which will increase the risk of the child acquiring HIV (studies have shown about 11% transmission, as high as 15% if breastfeeding is extended to the second year, and this is worsened by her refusal to take anti-retrovirals). It is not recommended for HIV + women to breastfeed children when viable alternatives exist, and the denialists are encouraging her to do so anyway - this is telling her to risk her child's life for no good reason.



This gets worse. Jesus, this is almost demonic behaviour. These are the people Johnson is associating and to some extent, agreeing with?




I've posted this on ERV's site, so instead of posting them here, I'll just make links.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

The cynic might say that this is an example of natural selection in action. She may give her child HIV as a result of her own personal stupidity, but her child won't be passing HIV on, or any of her genes, to a following generation.
