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?

    Are you serious? Leaving comments to your own posts? And your stance that HIV doesn't cause AIDS?? Are you like Forrest Gump stupid or something? What are your credentials? Are you a scientist? Researcher? Expert in the field of HIV and infectious diseases? Or some conspiracy theorist sitting in his basement chugging away at his PC about how Science = Lies!!!!! WOW. Get a life.
