Re: combats with AIDS, and Foucault's personal attitude

Hi,

I really believe Foucault would be another personallity signing the list of
the "Dissidents of Aids", the group of scientists who question the fact that
there is no scientific proof that it is the HIV virus that causes the
sindrome. I think Foucault would line up with South Africa´s president,
standing up for having food for people who die of symptoms that are
considered aids, in Africa, but who are starving, and have not been tested
(an HIV test would cost an amount that is unafordable to people who are
starving, starvation have very similar symptoms to those attributed to
AIDS).
I think Foucault would question the farmaceutical industry, whith bilions a
year involved in the discussion. He would argue and stand for a Nobel Prize
scientist who has no voice any longer in the official medical press, the
same one who developed the exam that tells HIV+ people the "quantity of
virus" they have, and he has told the world, after receiving the Nobel
Prize, that what he had developed wouldn´t be good to test HIV, and so, he
was "banished" from the medical society.
If anyone here is thinking this brazilian student is being "paranoic" or is
having "conspiratory thinking" do search for the words 'Aids dissidents' and
see their point of view. Power? That´s a good example IF they are to be
right.

Carlos
