Why the hell is this in first person?

That's what I was gonna say.

He is supposed to have said in the Washington Post 1992 Oct 11:

"The confusion for AIDS patients like me is that there is a growing school of thought that HIV may not be the sole cause of AIDS, and that standard treatments such as AZT actually make matters worse. That there may very well be unknown cofactors but that the medical establishment is too rigid to change the direction of basic research and/or clinical trials."

And had in Days of Grace:

"Some scientists believe that AZT, which relentlessly kills cells but cannot distinguish between infected and uninfected cells, is as harmful as AIDS itself. After all, HIV is present in only 1 of every 10,000 T-cells, which are vital to the immune system; but AZT kills them all."

Pity he was another who couldn't muster the nerve to tell the pillpeddlars what to do with their poisons. 142.177.24.141 23:28, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It sort of lacks punch to see an anonymous poster talking about someone else's lack of nerve. Carptrash 05:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
