It's up to Government to ensure science prevails over voodoo, plain and simple.

That seems like a bad… I mean… just… You have looked at exploits Government at any point in history, right?

There has to be a better way to convince people that basil doesn't cure cancer than that.

If his vitamins cure AIDS, surely he won't be mad at the person who infects him, right? But this really is pretty much up the same creek as the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/17/pope-africa-condoms-aids" rel="nofollow">common teachings</a> of the always popular catholic church.

There must be HIV-positive people who harbor a deep (and justified) hatred for the guy and don't have much to lose, yet there seem to have been no attempted assassinations. Other than that, the article is quite seriously frightening. Who knows how many people Rath has killed already...

The minute they turned their minds to critical introspection, the whole thing completely unravel like a cheap suit caught on a nail. It's up to Government to ensure science prevails over voodoo, plain and simple. Too bad if you're born in a country run by inept imbeciles... Who could possibly read that and not have their thoughts lean toward good old-fashioned vigilante justice via a syringe full of high viral load HIV infected fluid? Or would that be poetic justice?
