Episode 30: John Lauritsen
If you were to ask about the major critics of the first AIDS drug AZT the guest from Episode 29, Dr. Peter Duesberg, would come to mind, but also this week’s guest John Lauritsen. Before criticizing AZT John was one of the leading members of the gay community warning about the omnipresent “gay” drugs known as Poppers or Amyl Nitrite inhalants. John is a thorough and dogged researcher and his articles for “New York Native” are legendary, especially those that were used in the book, “AZT: Poison by Prescription” (out of print but available online).

This is the last full episode that Christine Maggiore participated in, taped on December 2, 2008. In it, experienced LA journalist Bob Navarro describes the firestorm of criticism when he published US government statistics noting a decline in AIDS cases. “Not allowed!” screamed the AIDS dogmatists. Christine also expresses, both overtly and implicitly, how much the “How Positive Are You?” podcast meant to her.
