Thank you for this amazing and astute review of my book. It is coming out in a new edition with some new material, in April. I will let you know when. Thank you again. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness, thoroughness and writing.

I am just now seeing this. Your words mean a lot.

That, yes, but dentists knew that universal protection (what we now call PPE) reduced the risk of transmission to 0%. Staff members, on the other hand, were scared. I blame the "experts" for that. Unfortunately, FaUci made some stupid comments about the Dr. Acer/Kimberly Bergalis incident which scared patients from coming into the dentist (fear of transmission...which wasn't an issue. Birx and Redfield we're guilty of instilling so much fear of transmission that patient visits plummeted. That troika was committed to finding a vax as opposed to treatment options and preventative measures. Once again, the virologists knew much, much more than the public health bureaucrats.

You writing will come to you easier and easier as time goes on. And your confidence will escalate too. Don't be so hard on yourself. That's a dentist trait!! lol

The Atlantic has an article on how the movie, 'The Dallas Buyer's Club' was saved from being homophobic in editing. There was supposed to be a line from matthew mccaughney's character making reference to Duesberg's claims. They took it out. I remember watching that movie and thinking hold up, this guy lived for years after they said he would die based on eating healthy food? Like, hold up, what's going on here?

I watched that movie as well about a year ago. I knew about Celia then and her work was mentioned by RFK Jr. and that inspired me to seek out her book. It was still a great movie.... for what Hollywood would permit them to do. I was a little miffed that there appeared in the film to be a argument being made for the rushing of drugs to market. Scenes with HIV positive patients demanding drugs to be approved faster because they couldn't wait. But at the same time there's an argument to be made it also pushed for the acceptance of repurposed drugs.

There is a small candle of hope I have lit that perhaps McConaughey absorbed a thing or two out of that role and perhaps if he does take a turn into politics perhaps it would keep his mind open to the need for groups like the FLCCC to have a way to introduce repurposed drugs and influence protocols, or make alternative protocols available.

Joe,

Just became a subscriber. As a former member/co-chair/chair of two West Michigan AIDS councils, your piece about Celia Farber's Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS brought back some serious memories as to what the Fauci/Birx/Redfield troika did to millions of victims--not to mention what their unethical behavior did to my profession (dentistry)--during the AIDS crisis and to see the very same unscrupulous behavior during the SARS-CoV-2 scare was almost more than I could bear.

Please note that I'll take much, much more time in digesting what you shared including the resources used to create it but I wanted to get this comment out to you immediately. Thank you so very much, kind sir.

Reggie

PS: Your writing skills are to die for (figuratively speaking!).

Reggie, I really appreciate the compliment about my writing I'm the worst critic of it. Its one of the reasons it takes me as long as it does to finish a project.

I would hazard a guess that in dentistry they were refusing care to HIV-positive or suspected patients?
