HIV-cure-woo alive and well in Africa
Posted by ERV on October 9, 2012 There are some HIV-woo ideas that I cannot believe we are still dealing with in 2012. 1. ‘Condoms dont stop HIV’ – Actually, they do. Really, really well. Better than any ‘prophylactic antiretroviral’ (with no side-effects). Virus cant evolve resistance to condoms. Virus cant swim through the tiny holes in the structure of latex. Condoms…
Another HIV Denier dead
Posted by ERV on April 18, 2012 Via jonnyneviripine: Maria Papagiannidou died last Sunday. Another very public and active denialist has kicked the bucket; sad but predictable. Her face and “story” is all over the internet. You can read more about her there. I know she contacted some people I know about starting HAART but presumably she left it a bit late.…
If at first you dont succeed, deny, deny again
Posted by ERV on January 6, 2012 I think the unofficial Favorite Journal of ScienceBlogs has got to be the journal, Medical Hypotheses. It used to be, you could take two different approaches if you wanted to publish in Medical Hypotheses. 1– Smash your face into your keyboard for 15 minutes. Submit for publication. Or, the less expedient 2– Leave your laptop…
HIV-1 Denial News
Posted by ERV on November 23, 2011 Do you want the good news first, or the bad news? I like to get the bad news first, usually, because then the good news can cheer me up. So, the bad news: Kim Bannon has Passed Away (back-story on Kim Bannon) HIV-1 Denial claimed another life. It was reported that (HIV-1 positive) HIV-1 Denier…
HIV-1, HIV Denial, and boxing: Round 3
Posted by ERV on February 14, 2011 While practicality is one of the tools in my arsenal against anti-science advocates, its not my favorite. Maybe its because I am a delicate female with doe-eyes and sweet sensitivities, but my favorite weapon is emotion. I tell you what, its damn hard to talk to the general public (much less wooers) about the intricacies…
HIV-1, HIV Denial, and boxing: Round 2
Posted by ERV on February 10, 2011 So I was just alerted by a reader that the Montreal Gazette just published a rebuttal to the HIV Denial POS they published a few days ago. Dr. Norbert Gilmore takes an angle I like: Practicality. We deal with it all the time with wooers– its easy for HIV Deniers or Creationists or anti-vaxers to…
HIV-1, HIV Denial, and boxing
Posted by ERV on February 7, 2011 HIV(+) status and sports is a big deal. Any time there is a non-negligible risk of a bloody nose (golf or swimming vs soccer or basketball), there is a risk someone is going to get a blood droplet in the eye. Another player, a ref, a coach, a spectator, a beer vendor– yes, the odds…
ATTN HIV Deniers: ERVs are not HIVs. Still.
Posted by ERV on September 3, 2010 What is it about ERVs that makes kooks cling desperately to them, like little ‘gag-pol-env’ life-rafts, as the kooks FAILboats sink into even further obscurity? I think the general populations ignorance about ERVs is what kooks find so attractive. Kooks, like Creationists, can say any damn thing they want about ERVs, and Average Joe/Jane doesnt…
HIV Denier FAIL
Posted by ERV on March 20, 2010 AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Know how a while back, when I let that ‘House of Numbers’ spam through for the lulz? Well, apparently that spam was sent by a real human, not a spambot. Like, a real breathing human with no life. Cause humanspambot took that comment going through as an opportunity to spam numerous other posts on…
‘Discussing science’ with HIV-1 Deniers
Posted by ERV on March 1, 2010 HIV-1 deniers– They love Orac. They love Tara. Even like haunting the Hoofnagle brothers a bit. They dont like ERV. Never have. *sad face* I really cant figure out why. (I bet its cause Im mean and kannut com00nicates scienz). Three years ago, today, I posted a challenge to HIV-1 Deniers. A simple test of…
