Did anyone listen to the conversation..? Because what Vice is claiming is not at all what was talked about. They are chopping up the 20 minute conversation on said topic and creating a completely different conversation.
Bret was saying the drug scene did not help people who had AIDS, as it helped ruin the immune system for people who had an immune disease.
They brought Fauci up (the subject of RFK'S book) because of Fauci pushing AZT, which literally killed thousands
Zidovudine killed thousands? Bullshit. Magic Johnson is alive today because of Antiretrovirals, of which AZT was the first.

From 145 patient studies, done with placebo.
There's another article just below that talking about a study with 282 patients and the adverse health affects.
Again, I was more talking about the article.
No, you weren’t. You were injecting your own pseudoscienentific opinion. AZT did not “kill thousands” and the article did not make that claim, so you’re sourcing it from a notable liar.
If you want to talk about why the study was not ideally run, be my guest, but AZT is effective for what it does: Preventing HIV from using the cheapest pathway to insert itself into your genome. It is why it’s still part of the drug cocktail to this day.
