Rethinking AIDS Convention 2011: Will the rooms be padded?

AIDS denialists will hold their 2011 convention in Washington, DC on December 1, World AIDS Day. The conference will focus on uncovering the US government's and pharmaceutical industry's global conspiracy to sell HIV tests and medications. The conference organizers say "The myth that blames a single retrovirus for a complex multi-factorial syndrome has left in its wake millions of people terrified of an 'HIV test', a pharmacopeia of toxic drugs prescribed without informed consent and an effort by the myth-makers to shut down intelligent public discussion. Thousands of scientists, epidemiologists, academics, physicians, journalists, and activists who oppose the use of toxic medications and inaccurate tests have been called 'denialists', an attempt to equate dissent with those who deny the Nazi Holocaust."


Why Washington DC? Rethinking AIDS says "It was the Washington National Capital area at Robert Gallo's infamous press conference in April 1984 that the infectious theory of AIDS took hold, just before patents were filed and a month before any science had been published. The National Capital area is also home to the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD) that provides the bulk of AIDS research funding in the USA and globally. Washington, DC also has a very large black population and sizable gay community, both of which are targets for AIDS medications. Washington is also the seat of the American government that is a leading promoter of the fear of HIV and AIDS around the world and the consumption of toxic antiretroviral drugs as the dominant means of addressing both treatment and prevention."

The conference is organized by Canadian freelance conspiracy theorist David Crowe, "a science critic and writer based in Calgary, Canada. He has a [Bachelors] degree in biology and [another Bachelors'] mathematics and has written extensively on HIV/AIDS, failures of modern medicine and telecommunications. He was one of the founders of the Green Party of Alberta, and is president of Rethinking AIDS and the Alberta Reappraising AIDS Society." David Crowe has also written extensively as a contributor to cancer screening and treatment denial as well as climate change denial.

Who will you see present at this conference?

Peter Duesberg will address major contradictions between HIV/AIDS statistics as measured in Africa and the classical bell-shape epidemic of an infectious disease.

Charles Geshekter will demonstrate how endemic poverty in Africa explains the fabricated AIDS epidemic, and how simple methods to improve health, rather than condoms and toxic pharmaceuticals, can address the real causes of immune deficiency and disease on the continent.

David Rasnick will explain how the book Disciplined Minds revealed to him the nature of his experiences with colleagues, who exhibited shock, anger and departure when exposed to discussions of flaws in the HIV/AIDS dogma.

Henry Bauer will talk about how HIV/AIDS is not Unique: It Exemplifies the State of Contemporary Medicine

Roberto Giraldo will explain how oxidative stress is a major factor in explaining both positive HIV tests and the various syndromes called "AIDS".
