The vaccine IS the virus. Thats what vaccines are, a weakened form of the virus. So you have to be pretty dumb to take a vaccine of a terminal virus. You think these doctors or corporations like MERC give a damn if you get AIDS? Thats your problem, you signed the waiver. They are injecting you with HIV, get it?!?! Thats what a vaccine is...
Thabo Mbeki alluded to this when he challenged the estimates of AIDS infection in South Africa as being overblown because of the statistical extrapolation methods being used.
Dear Brian,
I am a long-time daily listener to your wonderful show. I am also artistic director-conductor & pianist of Downtown Music Productions. We present socially oriented musical programs mostly at our East Village Concert series at St. Marks in the Bowery.
On WORLD AIDS DAY, Dec 1, we will be presenting a FREE NOON day concert at the LGBT Center, SUDDEN SUNSETS: ---with extraordinary music of four composers who died of HIV/AIDS -Robert Savage(1951-1993), Chris De Blasio,(1959-1993) Deolus Husband (1959-1989) and Nicholas Schaffner (1953-1991).We have been presenting concerts like this annually since 1990.
Please listen to David Garland Music Show on DEC 1 Saturday nite at 8PM and hear excerpts from our CD released one year ago: Sudden Sunsets: Highlights of the BENSON AIDS Series.Thank you so much for spending quality program time on this issue. We do know that AIDS is not over at all and the tragedy connected with this plague has been devastating to millions. May the world find a cure!
Gratefully, mimi stern-wolfe
