The first journalist to challenge the HIV/AIDS narrative
Oct 19, 2026 · 1h 21m
Summary
This episode features a conversation between Jeremy and Celia, a journalist and HIV dissident, discussing the history of the HIV/AIDS controversy and its parallels to the pandemic. They explore the political suppression of dissent in South Africa, the failure of ARVs, and the toxic "purity" culture that emerged in the post-2020 anti-virus movement. Celia argues that the conflict was a spiritual and political war, not just a scientific debate, and critiques modern activists for ignoring the historical context and systemic violence faced by early dissidents.
