Dive deep into the history and controversies surrounding HIV/AIDS with filmmaker and researcher Michael Wallach.
Michael discusses the importance of questioning the foundational assumptions of virology rather than just critiquing the built-up narratives around viruses like HIV and COVID-19.
He shares the path that led him to explore terrain theory, a concept that shifts the focus from viruses as the cause of illness to the overall environment and health of the body.
Learn about Michael's process in assembling the documentary series, including the influences from the AIDS dissidence movement and his thoughts on the COVID-19 response and historical vaccine narratives.
Michael dives into the controversial claim that HIV does not cause AIDS, presenting arguments and insights from leading thinkers who have challenged the mainstream story.
The conversation explores the history of AZT, a drug once marketed as the primary treatment for HIV/AIDS, and how it was pushed despite its toxic effects. Michael highlights the existence of alternative treatments that were overshadowed by AZT.
Michael shares additional findings and insights that didn't make it into his documentary, providing a more complete picture of the perspectives on HIV/AIDS.
Discussion around how the symptoms associated with various so-called viruses continue to grow, raising questions about the criteria used for diagnosis and classifications in virology.
