Well, well, well. It only took months, but Richard Jefferys of Treatment Action Group, which originated as the “research arm” of ACT UP, has broken the code of silence around The Great Unmentionable, which is of course the Truvada disaster. (“Disaster” might be an understatement.) Here’s his tweet about my latest book:
It’s interesting to see RFK Jr’s name pop up in relation to my book—Kennedy’s “AIDS denialism” has mostly been ignored by the media, with few exceptions. It will be interesting to see if any of these other activists crawl out of the woodwork—stay tuned.
The truth can be difficult to accept, especially if people have been fed propaganda and lies for so long. We don’t like to think we’ve been fooled. I certainly have, on many things.
The only tool they have is to use an epithet, 'denialist'. It's so passé. It's like they're the last person to a Who-Dun-It party. The rest of us already know, and they're stuck in the past not knowing the truth.
