Review
"AIDS 'science' has one clear thinker. His name is Peter Duesberg"
- Harvey Bialy, Science Editor, Biotechnology

Product Description
Duesberg, the world's foremost retrovirus expert, argues that no conclusive link has ever been proved to exist between HIV and AIDS. In this collection of essays, Dr. Duesberg theorizes that the various diseases under the AIDS umbrella are brought on by long-term recreational drug use, unhealthy living conditions and are not sexually transmitted.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE CHILD IN THE CROWD..., December 19, 2002

By A Customer

The Emperor's New Clothes on a massive scale - with enormous implications - right under our noses (ongoing in 2002 with no end in sight yet). Any thinking person not yet familiar with the content of this and Duesbergs other books will be grateful to discover them. The public is shown barely the tip of this particular iceberg.
Duesbergs integrity and clarity of mind make him the child in the crowd, but his courage , tenacity and curriculum vitae make him a formidable and feared opponent . His work is terribly important. His herculean efforts go largely unseen due to ruthless media censorship of the subject but the whole picture is available to us in these books and on the internet on Duesbergs and related websites. If you have stumbled across this issue- do a bit of research and prepare to be staggered......

5.0 out of 5 stars Duesberg asked the right questions but NO one gives the right answers, March 18, 2008

By	Michael D. Mellgard - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an AIDS re-thinker/dissident since 1992 I can safely say that Dr. Duesberg has been one of the most critical and out-spoken critic of the AIDS establishment. It was his appearance on "Tony Brown's Journal" in the spring of '92 that he first caught my attention. I have read just about everything he has written on HIV and AIDS. His arguments about how and why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS have never been, as far as I am can see, been answered by the scientists of the AIDS establishment. All they have done is resort to name calling and degrade his character. Here is a man who was regarded as one of the formost expert in his field but then was shut out when he asked questions that the likes of Dr's Gallo, et al could not answer. If HIV does cause AIDS then how can anyone explain the thousands of people who are HIV+ but have never taken any drugs for treatment and are still alive after more than 20 years? How can anyone who has read his "scientific" arguments not, at least, start to ask the right questions. I cannot understand why anyone defends the AIDS establishment unless they are in it for some personal gain or are too affraid to admit that they are being misled by a bunch of quacks and money grubbing thieves

5.0 out of 5 stars Reason vs Emotion, March 26, 2009

By	Dragon Irish "Canny Celt" (Boulder, CO, USA) - See all my reviews

Peter Duesberg is one of the most logical, sane, studied, and brilliant researchers on the planet. The two reviews here that attack him are by the emotional zealots who follow the Church of Overfunded Science and the emotional 'my gay friend died and Peter and his kind killed him' types. I have had friends die of 'AIDs' who were on poppers, recreational drugs, needles, and unclean habits in their personal lives, who had hundreds of partners and whose immune systems were destroyed by the environment they chose, not by some harmless retrovirus. I also know one gay man diagnosed HIV-positive whose healthy friends were also diagnosed at the same time and took the drugs. They are all dead. These people should read some of the histories of the American/Europen pharmaceutical gangsters who have spread death over the world.
