You still haven't explain why there is marked survival benefit for
AZT in combination with ANOTHER nuke + PI compared to AZT alone.
If AZT and AZT-like drugs were so toxic, we would expect the exact
opposite.

OK. You claim that the supporting data is not there. Please then offer
meaningful and detailed criticisms of ACTG 320, Abbott 047, the
CAESAR trial, and the original Erons et al AZT+3tc study. These
are but a few in the literally dozens of trials looking at combination
nukes. While you are at it, howabout EACG 017, and the VA cooperative
trial? You claim that there is no supporting data: I claim that
you are not even minimally familiar with the literature.
If you feel these trials are in error, please list specific flaws,
not just the fact that they contradict your preconceptions.
