People will mock you for buying into "conspiracy theories" on the basis that people are dying from this very real disease.
Like the war on Iraq, it becomes taboo to look at things from another perspective because of the notion that we have to "support our troops" (which in this case are AIDS victims).
AIDS is very real and I think we all agree that the AIDS epidemic is no joke. Something tragic is occuring. But to dismiss all the dissenting views as conspiracy theories is a huge mistake. There are some very credible and respected names amongst the theorists and we owe it to the sick and dying to study the dilemma on all fronts. This is simply not done. With a large portion of scientific funding coming from drug companies the likes of Glaxo Smith Kline is it not surprising that the majority of our AIDS research involves the implementation of these horribly toxic drugs? The following sites among others provide a very interesting perspective on the issue.

I don't advocate adopting these ideas frivolously without further study, but I think it is foolish that the subject is on the verge of taboo.
