25 Years in the Shadow of HIV


“Brian” (not his real name) was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1987 along with many other hemophiliacs. Unlike most of the others, however, Brian did not start on AZT. Unlike almost all who did, he is still alive and well today…25 Years HIV+ without ARVs [ 57 min 30 s | 26.33 MB ]

Brian was so young at the time that his mother was making his medical decisions and her observation that the people taking AZT “looked like they were dying” saved his life. He quickly educated himself, and his resolve to stay away from the evolving AIDS pharmacopeia only strengthened with time. Brian is a unique witness to the genocide of hemophiliacs in the 1980s and 1990s and, in this interview with Terry and David, he discusses how drug companies, governments and hemophilia societies all “participated enthusiastically” in treating hemophiliacs with AZT and similar drugs, despite the tragic results.
For a scientific graph that shows how the deaths of hemophiliacs correlated with the advent of AZT, see this graph from the medical journal Lancet:

Office of National AIDS Policy, 30 years


What does it take to just the world "AND"?
it's AIDS and HIV not HIV/AIDS ....YOU DON"T die from AIDS....AIDS is a definition... AIDS and HIV are two different things.
Washington, D.C. – Thirty years ago this Sunday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention first reported on the condition that would eventually become known as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.  Over the past three decades, HIV has emerged as a potent global pandemic, and today more than 33 million people around the world are living with HIV and more than two million deaths from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) annually.  Even today, more than 50,000 people in the United States are infected with HIV in the United States.
“We pause to mark the thirty years we have been fighting HIV/AIDS.” said President Barack Obama.  “As we remember people in our own lives we have lost and stand by those living with HIV/AIDS, we must also rededicate ourselves to finally ending this pandemic – in this country and around the world.”

Michael Savage exposes AIDS fraud on top radio show


One of the most listened-to and right-wing radio presenters in the US, Michael Savage, has hosted an astonishing segment by Robert Scott Bell exposing on national media in the US for quite possibly the first time, serious flaws in the HIV/AIDS paradigm. Michael Savage has described himself as being 'To the right of Rush [Limbaugh, another right-wing radio show host] and hit the headlines in June 2009 for being the first top US media personality to be banned from the UK, the first to be banned from any western nation according to his own webpage. He regularly gets between 8-10 million listeners a week and is in the top 3 or 4 most listened-to and widely-syndicated radio shows.
It is therefore all the more astonishing, as right-wing commentators are generally regarded as being more sympathetic to medical authority, that he allowed Robert Scott Bell to do the piece exposing corruption of science in AIDS research... He plays some of Luc Montagnier's comments revealing the impotance of oxidative stress as a key role in AIDS, as revealed here, and also reveals the lack of sexual transmission revealed by the Padian study.
This is worth listening to on it's own account, but especially, having been asked to preserve that segment as it is expected it may be withdrawn from official sources, you can listen to it here.
