Deconstructing the Myth of AIDS is a 2004 documentary film written and directed by Gary Null. The film features interviews with a number of researchers and advocates who Null describes as AIDS denialists. The film promotes the view that there is insufficient evidence to show that HIV is the cause of AIDS, and that one of the medicines initially used for AIDS treatment - AZT causes many of the symptoms associated with AIDS.
Synopsis
The film presents several criticisms of the HIV/AIDS theory: *The relationship between AIDS and homosexuality is emphasized in several interviews, several scientists including Stefan Lanaka claim that AIDS was originally discovered in homosexuals, and that the idea of AIDS effecting heterosexuals was fabricated by people interested in selling the tests and other products associated with HIV and AIDS to a wider market. * Eleni Papadopulus-Eliopulus, an Australian physician claims that HIV was never actually isolated from an AIDS patient. *Peter Duesberg a well-known critic of HIV/AIDS, who claims that because AIDS medicines have never cured a single patient "there could be something wrong with the theory". *Stefan Lanka, a German virologist states that measuring T-cell count is not a measure of the strength of the immune system, thus making the AIDS diagnosis which is based on T-cell count not clinically valid. * The alternative theory of AIDS presented in the film by the interviewees and by Gary Null himself is that people affected by AIDS have weak immunity as a result of multiple infections.
