Well if you call his belief that street drug use causes AIDS there simply is
no way to claim with any honesty that it is an explanation for the epidemic.
His theory has been discredited by literally hundreds of research papers
that show absolutely no link what so ever between the use of street drugs,
the over use of antibiotics, or any pharmaceutical and AIDS.
Even without out all the scientific studies that disprove his theory anyone
with simple common sense can see how ridiculous his claims are. Millions of
people around the world misused street drugs for over 100 years prior to the
advent of AIDS so they simply can not be the cause or the disease would have
occurred decades sooner. Also he never accounts for the 100's of thousands
of HIV/AIDS patients who have never even seen a street drug let alone abused
them.
He also never accounts for the millions of people who misused antibiotics
over the decades since they were introduced yet never contract HIV or AIDS.
He simply waves his hands in the air and claims gay Americans are a special
case when it comes to the use to antibiotics yet provides no data to back up
that ridiculous claim. Nor does he address HIV/AIDS in the rest of the world
his comments all are simply an expression of his homophobic thinking about
the epidemic as it presents in the US.
