XTRA: Cartoonist R. Crumb Rethinks ‘AIDS,’ Rethinks Everything – with David Crowe on ‘The Infectious Myth’
R. Crumb is the best-known “underground” American cartoonist of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He created, among others, ZAP Comix, Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural and Keep on Truckin’. Most people, however, may not know that he is a long-time ‘AIDS’ rethinker, or dissident, and has been since meeting former “How Positive Are You” co-host Christine Maggiore.
In late October 2016, he joined current HPAY co-host David Crowe for a discussion of pretty much everything on David’s “The Infectious Myth” Internet radio show.

Comment (0)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).
