Dr. Bauer’s work looks in depth at the dominance of several specific theories, including the “Big Bang” cosmology, human-caused global warming, HIV as a cause of AIDS, and the efficacy of anti-depressant drugs.
This lively discussion between David, Elizabeth and Dr. Bauer also refers to his 2007 book, “The Origin, Persistence and Failings of HIV/AIDS Theory“, and mentions a 1997 paper on needle exchange programs by Bruneau, which was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the book “Disease Mongers” by Lynn Payer, Christine Johnston’s list of reasons for a false-positive HIV test, Robert Whitaker’s books on drug-oriented psychiatry, Broad and Wade’s 1983 book “Betrayers of the Truth: Fraud and Deceit in the Halls of Science” and “Conflict of Interest in the Professions” by Davis and Stark.
