That's what blogs are for.

I received the following e-mail from HngVersatile@aol.com.  When I tried to reply, I discovered, like many close-minded individuals, he had my e-mail blocked.  So I shall post my reply here.  That's what blogs are for.

You would think after some of the most prominent AIDS dissidents died of the very thing they said did not exist that people like you would be embarrassed to keep spouting the same line of crap. Go ask David Pasquarelli if he feels better knowing that his unwillingness to consider HIV meds even as he was dying got him absolutely no where but in a grave.

My reply:
 

Almost all of the dissidents I've known, for the past two decades are still here.  The most prominent ones I knew who died, died of suicide.  Most of the guys I've known going to doctors to treat their virus died, are dying, or look like hell.   There is a wide diversity amongst dissidents and amongst everyone else.  Some people call themselves dissidents because they don't believe in the medical treatment, but some are still confused on the virus issue.  He and his friends came to a HEAL meeting here in NY once, but I never had anything to do with David Pasquarelli. 
 
I may have been spouting the same line for a long time, but that's the way truth is.  I am certainly not embarrassed for anything I've ever said on this issue.  And it's not crap.  Crap is the nonsense you believe.  There is no science to support the HIV theory of AIDS and those who originally started it have retracted somewhat on the issue.  There is no science to t-cell counting and viral load, nor any valid controlled studies that show that the meds help anyone. 
 
With all the time, technology, money and resources put into HIV/AIDS research to date, and they haven't found a cure, perhaps the cure is not a drug.  What makes you so sure it is? 
 
If you're really concerned about how David Pasquarelli feels, ask him yourself.  You'll be seeing him a lot before I will.  But keep on laughing.  Just remember, he who lasts laughs last.  Personally, I don't think it's that funny.  I've been having these same arguments on line for decades, and I keep winning, but by default.  Hard to collect bets from dead people.
