When the documentary, ‘Positive Hell’,
was accepted by the London Independent Film Festival, it seemed like a
crack in the wall of censorship imposed on critics of the HIV=AIDS
dogma. It tells the story of 5 Spaniards who have been HIV-positive
since the 1980s and have not taken AIDS drugs, or only for a short time,
yet have retained excellent health. But after four complaints from
unnamed AIDS charities (that probably receive money from pharmaceutical
companies) the film was unanimously withdrawn by the same committee that
earlier approved it. Film maker Joan Shenton talks to David about her
experiences, joined by philosophy professor Babette Babich who has
written on the censorship of science from within.
Professor Babich’s has made her article publicly available. Please click on the link right here to read: Calling Science Pseudoscience
