Liar! You obviously don't know that this woman had her child taken
away from her by the courts becaused she refused further poisoning
with AZT or the Cocktail "therapy". Some choice.

No you wouldn't because then the awful truth would come out, that your

Not so, and you know it. HEAL wasn't even around until 1985. Now
there are chapters across the U.S. and several foreign countries(it
might help you to look into this, it might even save your life) More
and more scientists, physicians and lay people are joining Reapprasing
AIDS every day.

What have you read of Duesberg and Lanka? Have you read Inventing the
AIDS Virus? I keep waiting for you to claim that the RA group,
especially Duesberg, are homophobic, is that correct? What about
Lauritsen? He's not a scientist either but he is gay and he'll tear
you up on this issue.
I *have* read Duesberg, Lanka,

How can you possible know RA's argument and not be in favor of further
investigation into causality? Hypocrite!

No, it says exactly what it means. Reexposure shortly(years) after a

What's the matter, asshole, can't take it? Can't take listening to
the poor story of a
person not as "educated" as you? Just ignore her, is that it? You're
more concerned
about word wrapping than a person's life or the sanctity of the
family? You couldn't
handle the truth if it was presented to you by your mother, assuming
you weren't cloned.jb

John:
I work in clinical trials, not test tube work. If you knew what you
were
talking about, you would know the difference.
Your beliefs, below, are just bizarre and wrong. Get a basic
imunology
text book.
Oh, and learn to word wrap at < 80 characters.
