By the time we knew to look back that far, the information was lost, to time, and the deaths of the people who knew it. That's why we don't know much about the origin of HIV. Source: Garrett, Laurie, The Coming Plague, p. 307.

What advice are you assuming I gave to people? This is all a preposterous smear with no semblance to the truth. I never told an AIDS patient not to take medicine - or anything even close.

You don't deserve for you or your family to be disrespected in that way so I'm also very sorry that happened. I can see that it made you very upset, rightfully so, and I feel for you. Much respect to your father's legacy.

I apologize to you, the human being, for any pain, because political figure concepts are one thing, but people are another. I have been deeply hurt by some of your defenders but others have been wonderful to engage with. I'm not backtracking on telling dad's sad experience, but
