The drug-AlDS hypothesis *
of thousands of scientific reputations that are exclu-
sively built on HIV 7'n,
3) The numerous medical and social benefits avail-
able to HlV-positive activists and patients J52,
4) The staggering commercial interests in HlV-tests,
over 20 million tests per year at $ 50 or more in the US
alone, HlV-vaccines and anti-HIV drugs,
5) The prospects of numerous complaints and mal-
pratice suits against the HIV/AIDS orthodoxy from
those who were told they are destined to die based on
HIV tests or were helped to die with AZT,
6) The prospect of a profound ioss of confidence of
the American public in its medical and scientific elite
7, 11
Thus the current HIV/AIDS orthodoxy cannot
afford the drug hypothesis, and must do everything in
its power to keep it from being presented to the
American people.
Likewise, the $15 billion federal establishment that
conducts the War on Drugs would risk its large budget
and thousands of career positions if the War on Drugs
were won in the name of the hypothesis that drugs
cause AIDS.
In sum, the drug hypothesis is testable and predicts
that AIDS is entirely preventable and treatable by con-
troling drug use. The solution of AIDS and significant
progress in the War on Drugs are as close as a very
testable and affordable non-HIV/AIDS hypothesis.
