Charlie Jane Anders: The Deadly Legacy of HIV Truthers

“They say HIV was never isolated. We give them excellent electron micrographs of the virus. They say ‘OK, it’s a virus, but it doesn’t cause disease.’ They say that Koch’s postulates haven’t been proven to conclusively show HIV causes AIDS. We give them examples of medical workers who were accidentally exposed to the virus and later developed AIDS. They say they must have undisclosed drug addictions or other causes for the immune decline. They never accept the science—they just keep changing the target of their disbelief.”
