Nick Bennett has a blog which he uses to bash people like me who question the association between HIV and AIDS:
aidsmyth.blogspot.com

In it he claims that “I have never recieved [sic] funding from any pharmaceutical company that makes HIV antivirals.”

When I emailed and asked him about this he acknowledged that he had actually taken substantial sums of money from pharmaceutical companies, in the form of a subsidy covering his PhD studies. But this was from AstraZeneca, a company that does not make “HIV antivirals”.

People should know this. Does it bias his comments about the HIV/AIDS paradigm and the people who criticize it?
This blog will mainly discuss my interest in HIV/AIDS, other supposedly infectious diseases (that really aren't) and various aspects of modern 'industrial' medicine.

Websites created by me that discuss these issues are:

Alberta Reappraising AIDS Society
David Crowe’s Personal Website
Justice for Eliza Jane Scovill (and her parents)
My book project - The Infectious Myth
