Do you want to really help the “AIDS babies”? Did you know that, in the U.K. at least, your baby can be drugged even if they test negative at birth? It’s actually been documented that newborns can test “HIV positive” right after birth and yet serorevert to negative at about 18 months of age. Do you know the story of Lindsey Nagel, a baby adopted from Romania who survived and thrived into adulthood without “antiretroviral” drugs? Probably not, if you’ve been listening to the “deafening silence” of the AIDS mainstream, which would rather not advertise that “access to treatment” means the forced drugging of many babies each year. Independent advocate Mike Hersee of HEAL London has been helping families in the U.K. when they want to avoid toxic treatments for their “HIV-positive” infants.
Much of the advice Hersee gives here applies only to situations in England and Wales, but the importance of a coherent legal strategy, documentation, and the place of medicine as a no-accountability zone of quasi-religious obedience could apply anywhere. Suspicion of this system is not the first thing that would occur to mothers and couples giving birth to a beautiful new child. What strategies and principles have proved effective? Hersee breaks it all down for “How Positive Are You” co-hosts David Crowe and Elizabeth Ely in this uncommonly detailed — and potentially lifesaving – interview.
Despite an apparent upswing in cases such as these in recent times, there is a shocking lack of support and legal networks for parents. However, careful planning to avoid legal confrontation can make a huge difference, and if parents do end up in court, an assertive relationship with the right kind of lawyer is priceless. Hersee goes over the arts of pre-emptive “framing” of the issues, working effectively with social workers, when to go to the media, choosing “fight” or “flight,” documentation methods, and strategies that prompt “face-saving” moves by doctors.
