THE FAUCI FILES, Vol 3(17): Welcome Back Larry Kramer, You've Been
Missed !
January 21, 2000
Dear Larry,
Welcome back. You've been missed. I won't waste your valuable
time reciting the events of the "Riot at the Hyatt" to
remind you of where you've been for the past few years,
but something tells me that, at least in your mind, you've
already sent back your "thank you" Award back to Project Inform,
thanking Martin Delaney and his HIV cocktail fascist followers
for their manipulative pro-industry role in wiping out
yet ANOTHER generation of gay men.
Larry, while you are fully aware that the HIV vaccine is little
more than a joke, you don't seem to be aware of its dark side.
When you learn of the present-day HIV gp120 vaccine HOAX by the
murderous monsters: Anthony "Mussolini" Fauci, Dr. David "One Year
Mathematical Cure" Ho, and Vaxgen's president Dr. Donald "Dr. Death"
Francis, it should dawn on you that yet ANOTHER generation of gay
men, this time with blacks, browns and others, is currently facing
destruction by the NIH, FDA, CDC and the rest of the drug industry
pigs as they waddle up and stick their greedy snouts in the drug
industry kickback trough. This time, however, their lethal circus
of death is going global. The gp120 vaccine INCREASES the chances
of infection upon exposure and, for those infected, promises a
highly accelerated disease with a swift end. Surprised? Don't be.
While I shall detail and prove the crimes of these monsters
in THE FAUCI FILES, I must take this opportunity to thank
you for blowing the whistle, or at least trying, as only you
can do. It is thus once again time to be loud, profane and
obnoxious. That is what They seem to understand -- that is
what They fear most, especially in an election year. If we
cannot stop their holocaust this time, we are all in very
big trouble, this time on a global scale. Given the mass
apathy and sudden plunge in the collective IQ, perhaps the
herd is sitting quietly waiting to be thinned anyway. In
any event, the future shall thus be quite interesting
indeed.
Welcome back, Larry. You've been missed.
W. Fred Shaw

AIDS Decade in Review With Larry Kramer, Richard Marlink, MD,
and Pernessa Seele
January 7, 2000
Larry Kramer said:
"We're finding out, for instance, that 50 percent of people
who take certain drugs die from liver disease rather than
AIDS, because the drugs are so harsh on the liver..."
"Norvir has now been discovered to cause liver cancer in so
many of the people who take it."
"I said to a friend of mine, David Sanford, who's
editor of the Wall Street Journal, who has AIDS, and who
just feels so awful from all of these drugs, and I said
'why don't you get out there and say I feel awful from
all these drugs?' And he said "well, because I'm alive."
"... they want us dead. I wish people in the affected
communities would realize that, that most of our enemies
who are in control of the money, the government, the press,
the churches, whatever -- you name it. They don't care if
black people, and faggots, and junkies, and people who
they don't care (about) die. They certainly don't care
about Africa and the rest of the world."
"I want to say that unfortunately, most of the activists,
the AIDS activists who speak for us now are so in the pockets
of the bureaucracy of the drug companies that they have
become almost fascist in ramming down their treatment
notions down the rest of us."
"these idiots in TAG, who are telling people that these
are the drugs they should take."
"The research that is done today is pretty much dictated by
a small handful of pea brains called Treatment Action Group
(TAG) which has a stranglehold on what is researched, what
the drug companies release, how it's tested, and that is the
guidelines that all of us are told to take all of this
poison -- more and more of it -- that all comes out of a
handful of people, mainly because the rest of us aren't out
there fighting, forcing -- the power is in numbers, not
just in a few of us."
"... the proteases, the cocktails simply are not working in
a larger and larger percentage of people, and that these
new drugs that are coming out right, left, and center have
such horrendous side effects that people simply are
beginning to refuse to take them."
"... the passivity (of people) has become terribly, terribly
dangerous. I think in America we somehow feel that it (AIDS)
has gone away because of very wrong-headed articles in the
New York Times Magazine and by people like Andrew Sullivan
saying AIDS has gone away, and we've now discovered, very
much so that it hasn't, and that these drugs that everybody
said were going to cure us, aren't going to cure us."
"... it's unconscionable for a company like DuPont to put out a
drug like Sustiva, which has side effects that are so
overwhelmingly awful that my doctor here at NYU says
that 50 percent of his patients can't tolerate it, and
that's a new drug... You should read the list of side
effects that Sustiva causes in people, that they even
print in their ads. This is a third -- a second or third
generation drug.
"I begged Dr. Fauci at the NIH and he said he would follow
through -- that we really must start putting pressure on the
pharmaceutical companies to make us drugs that don't have
such horrible side effects. A third generation drug should
not be harder to take than a first generation drug, I'm sorry.
I'm really passionate about all this. And more and more people
I know are refusing to take drugs at all, which is very interesting.
They'd rather just not feel that sick."
"If everybody would stop taking their drugs, then they wouldn't
be making the billions that they make if they put out a new drug."
"It's murder. It's murder. We are murdering the rest of the world.
We paid for these drugs to be developed and we have to pay
through the nose for them ourselves."
"...if we're going to be the guinea pigs for these drugs for the
rest of the world, which we're more than willing to be,
somehow we have got to find a way to make these drugs cheaper
and simpler while we test them to see if they're safe so they
can then be sent overseas. That's basic. We've learned a lot
from these drugs, but what we're learning now is that what we
have to send overseas is, quite frankly, so awful that we can't
send them overseas."
"And the other thing that nobody pays any attention to is that
we simply do not have any sufficient data to know which of these
drugs work and in which combination. The drug company makes the
drug, unleashes it on the world, goes on to merrily develop
another poison without continuing to test the stuff that's
out there."
"We've got solutions. Never stop complaining, I'm sorry,
you've got to let the world know when you've got something
to gripe about. I'm sorry. The squeaky wheel gets the most
grease, and anybody who says otherwise is a fool."
"You have to get up every morning, every day, and say
'what am I gonna do today to fight for this -- for
my cause.' That's what activism is about. You cannot
take a vacation one day at all. You cannot take a Sunday off.
You cannot take a Saturday off. It is never ending and it is
exhausting, and no sooner do you think you've got something
then it all evaporates in your hands. But you cannot stop,
and people are simply not prepared to make that commitment,
especially at a time -- for most people -- of economic
prosperity."
"... we also had an amazing man running the FDA on
the tobacco thing, called David Kessler, who went after
the tobacco industry tooth and tongue to make this issue
finally come to a head. But we don't have that person
working for AIDS in the government."
"... I haven't heard any rumors of solutions. All I
see are actual facts that it's getting worse -- that
everything is worse and worse, and that the drugs aren't
working, and that people are getting sick from
the medicine, and that people are beginning to die again.
Who's the dreamer who's hearing these rumors?"
"How are you supposed to take those (combination therapies"?
If after only two years, the combination therapies are
beginning to make people so sick and kill them, how are you
supposed to take them for the rest of your life? Get real."
"So every time you read in the paper "oh, this new
wonderful thing has been discovered at such and such
a place, and it's been tried out in mice," and the next
thing you know, they try it out on a person. By the
time it's tried out on a person, usually as time has
passed, it doesn't work anymore anyway."
"... we haven't got the forces ... the gay community was
going to have a march on Washington and the gay community
itself self-destructed the march, so we (could not)
even (have) had the march on Washington. Where are all
the black people? Why aren't they in revolt? Where is Africa?
Where is the uprising? That's the only thing that people pay
attention to. For a few years, we had ACT UP destroying St.
Patrick's, getting all kinds of arrests, and out there really
fighting. That's when we made progress changing things. And
when you become passive like we all are now, we get nothing."
"... something has happened now that has (destroyed) the
(activist) movement ... I can't get 20 people to go picket DuPont
for putting this poison drug, Sustiva, on the market, or going to
Abbott for putting on Norvir which has now been discovered to
cause liver cancer in so many of the people who take it.
I mean, we should be chaining ourselves to these drug companies..."
"Event Moderator: This one is: How important is the search for
a vaccine?
Mr. Kramer: Oh, please. Could we go to the next question?"
"Event Moderator: What's the good news? Is there any?
Mr. Kramer: No.
The person who asked that question wants us to say
yes, so that they can go and go on their merry way and
not have to do anything, not have to fight, not have to
write a check, not have to make a phone call. And that's
the problem with all of this. Everybody looks for faint
hope in these crappy drugs that are out there thinking
that they're going to get people through. What we're saying
today is they're not, and there isn't any good news, and
you've got to be scared again. And it's only fear that's
going to get people off their duff."
"Why isn't everybody throwing bombs at Glaxo Wellcome,
the manufacturer of AZT, a drug that was financed,
again, entirely by American taxpayer money? And Glaxo
charges a fortune for it and refuses to sell it to the
third world of anything remotely resembling a price that
they can afford."
"One of my medicines just came in, and it's gone up
to $1200 for a two-month supply. Isn't that unbelievable,
that my insurance company is going to pay for that?
And 35-40 million people don't have insurance?"
"What do you think of what Dr. Stephen Miles at UCLA
has been saying, that we're on the wrong course and
that the viral load is really not the important thing
to be spending all of our time trying to control, that
it's the immune system, it's the T-cells that have got
to be protected, and that all of these drugs that we're
taking _ we're going down the wrong road? It won't be
the first time, but that is really terrifying."
