Meanwhile the Thai vaccine trial is another grand debacle since Science and the WSJ have exposed it as less even than claimed last month, well into the statistically insignificant area, and thus in line with the ongoing idea that a vaccine is the dumbest idea in HIV/AIDS of all, since HIV works perfectly well to create immunity against itself. Now even the Times is beating up on Fauci who is reduced to saying things like “they are not stupid” when hauled onto the carpet by the reporter ie the representative of the grand arbiter of truth and justice in the US, the NYT, who mentions suspicions of a “cover up”. This is a turn for the better which might trigger an intern at the White House who is ambitious enough to make something of it, and can get around the super agreeable Harold Varmus, the man who got the Nobel Duesberg deserved.

Is HIV/AIDS crumbling of its own unsustainable assumptions? Even the Times is now willing to mention the attempt to cover up a total failure!

Perhaps we will get another Op Ed piece by John Moore debunking anyone who lacks faith in microbicides (his total failure), vaccines (total failure) and drugs (total failure).

This piece may have reached Obama’s Handlers, but little chance of ‘truth on the ground’ getting to His Highness himself – or to Lady Michelle for that matter, with Harry Varmus being their Disease Adviser.

As to Lohse et al.’s Denmark Study: Of everybody Hiv+ in Denmark, his statistics clearly show the longest life expectancy of those Hiv+ is those that eschew/decline antiviral drugs, approaching very close to “normal” life expectancy of the average Dane they were compared to.

Lohse also dramatically shows how those on Early HAART kicked off in 1996 (3,300 mgs daily of AZT, 3TC, and Crixivan (protease inhibitors) died rather quickly from their meds – as you have cited yourself.

Published January 16, 2007, in the Annals of Internal Medicine (Ann Intern Med. 2007; 146:87-95), titled “Survival of Persons with and without HIV Infection in Denmark, 1995-2005, the Denmark Study is remarkable, and cites “Late HAART” as the current regimen, sans AZT.

Bottom line, for those who can wade through their statistics: Those Hiv+ declining/rejecting anti-Hive meds, particularly women, have mortality rates getting them very close to the average non-Hiv+ Dane.

Lohse’s text (there are 7 other co-authors) also relates how most everybody “Hiv+” in Denmark have many other health toxicities, such as smoking, heroin, heavy alcohol abuse, etc., so it is hardly surprising a bit higher “mortality rate” in combination being Hiv+.

As many know, Hiv antibody “positivity” reflects many other conditions other than an actual reaction to “Hiv” antigens. Even the most healthy of nuns sequestered since youth can be “Hiv+” as can your 80 year old neighbor if he/she got tested.
