Additional Praise for The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS

*    "The arguments, statistics and perceptions that he addresses to support
his position appear almost as irrefutable as they are controversial." –

David Shaw, New York Times Book Review
*    "This is a backlash book that is thoroughly researched, poignantly
written, and a must-read for anyone interested in learning the dynamics
of
the HIV epidemic or health care planning . . . . Fumento's book is
currently the best single source available to enable heterosexual persons
to assess their personal risk and, as an informed electorate, take a
closer look at overall health care spending, particularly the power of
political action committees, the media hype, and the influence of AIDS
alarmists." – Virginia M. Anderson, M.D., Journal of the American Medical
Association

*    "Mr. Fumento marshals a substantial amount of epidemiological data and
interprets it in a credible fashion to support his contention. He
demonstrates successfully that the `heterosexual breakout' widely
predicted in the mid-1980s has failed to materialize and does not seem
likely to. The book is well worth reading for this critical
reinterpretation of the available data." – Andrew M. Wiesenthal, M.D.,
New
England Journal of Medicine

*    "[A] tour de force." – Simon Chapman, British Medical Journal

*    "The best documented, most provocative and informative AIDS book since
And the Band Played On." – Booklist (American Library Association)

*    "A merciless – though often legitimate – indictment of the purveyors of
panic." – Patricia Cohen, Washington Monthly

*    "The best book on AIDS hysteria today is The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS
by Michael Fumento." – Arthur Hu, Asian Week

*    "[Myth] will undoubtedly become the most important nonfiction book on
AIDS since Shilts's And the Band Played On and Paul Monette's Borrowed
Time." – Stuart Byron, The Advocate (national gay weekly)

*    "[Myth] counters the predictions of an imminent AIDS epidemic among the
general population. In a rapid fire, journalistic style, Fumento, a
frequent writer on AIDS, reinterprets figures and conditions, and notes
who benefits and who suffers from alarmist publicity. A refreshing,
upbeat, AIDS book." – Book News, Inc. (1990)

*    "[Fumento] has updated statistics now to support his basic message:
AIDS
is not on the verge of wiping out civilization; it is a fatal viral
disease that is running its course just like all viral diseases do. He
explains how the HIV virus works, how the medical establishment and the
media are creating the hysteria, what interests are behind the
distortions
(not all of them are bad people), and how terror about a disaster that
will not happen is draining resources from the people who really need
them." – Book News, Inc. (1993)

An old book. HIV is MOSTLY heterosexually transmitted globally. And
those rates are rising rapdily among African Americans. Poor people
are often harder hit.

Not to worry if your white and Republican?

Sure. Everything's peachy.

"Poor people are often harder hit."

Yes. Because the poor suffer from the conditions and diseases now called
'AIDS' not because this wonder virus has something against the poor.

You are such an idiot. You cannot see the truth even if it is on the end
of your nose.

Provide the evidence for this hypothesis!

Poor people weren't dying of CMV retinitis, cryptosporidiosis,
Mycoavium complex, wasting, neurological diseases. Poverty definitely
sucks for longevity but these manifestations are new and different.

I usually prefer my truth served with a bit of evidence. In your case,
one can trust NOTHING you post without referring to the original
source.

More boring ad hominem. C'mon, Mark. Come up with something a bit more
clever.
