that are being used as anti-HIV drugs. DNA chain terminators kill all growing cells, particularly those of the highly proliferative immune system. Cause and effect works here just like everywhere else. AZT is AIDS by prescription.

2. The correlation between the rise in cocaine use and subsequent cocaine-related hospital emergencies on one hand, and the incidence of AIDS on the other is extremely close, which is in sharp contrast to the non-existing correlation between incidence of HIV and AIDS.

3. Ninety percent of American AIDS patients are male. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice, males consume seventy-five percent of all illicit drugs, and male homosexuals are virtually the only consistent users of aphrodisiac drugs like alkyl nitrites.

4. AIDS occurs approximately ten years after initial risk behavior, because it takes this long for recreational drug use to cause disease. Note that lung cancer and emphysema occur after some twenty years of tobacco use, and liver cirrhosis occurs after many years of alcohol abuse. The immunotoxic effect of recreational drugs builds up over years of use.

5. Different risk-groups have different risk-group-specific AIDS diseases.

Kaposi's sarcoma is observed almost exclusively in homosexuals because they are almost exclusively users of aphrodisiac nitrite inhalants.

Tuberculosis and weight loss is observed in intravenous drug users, because this activity causes these symptoms.

Anemia and lymphocytopenia is observed in recipients of AZT which kills proliferating cells of the bone marrow.

Hemophiliacs get pneumonia and candidiasis almost exclusively, because long-term transfusion of foreign proteins is immunosuppressive.

During a recent informal exchange of ideas between Dr. Duesberg and Nobel Laureate Kary B. Mullis in which this author was privileged to participate, Dr. Mullis offered a supportive counterpoint to the Drug-AIDS hypothesis.

Dr. Mullis observed that homosexual and IV drug user lifestyles both serve to concentrate the totality of passenger viruses and actual disease causing viruses in these groups. He suggested that another possible, testable mechanism for the immunodeficient character of AIDS is a simple disastrous overloading of the human immune system. He pointed out that were the body to produce sufficient antibodies to counter such an overwhelming overload, the immune system would begin to attack itself. He proposed this as the underlying mechanism for the immunotoxic effects of long-term recreational drug use.

Twenty-eight years and nearly $100 billion after the notion of an HIV-AIDS connection was first introduced, we may finally be looking in the right direction. You may not wish to throw away your condom just yet, but you can relax and enjoy that flight, even if your male seat companion obviously likes boys better than girls.
