Wednesday News Round-Up

AIDS denialist Christine Maggiore died on Monday.

Ms. Maggiore started a group that challenges "common assumptions" about AIDS, and self-published a book that claimed the cause of AIDS is still unknown. the HIV virus is harmless, AIDS is not sexually transmitted, and HIV positive people die because they are poisoned by toxic antiviral drugs,

She was HIV positive and refused to take antiviral drugs.



"I'm not really dead!" she said in her defense.

Her denial extended to her children, whom she breast-fed against advice, and one of whom died at 3 from AIDS-related pneumonia.
