Episode 36 - British Journalist Neville Hodgkinson [ 1 h 00 min 00 s | 4.85 MB ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (624)Neville Hodgkinson is a British journalist who began reporting on AIDS in the mid-1980s as medical correspondent for the Sunday Times of London. Between 1992 and 1994, as the newspaper’s science correspondent, he wrote a series of reports questioning the link between HIV and AIDS. His book AIDS: The Failure of Contemporary Science was published in 1996 by Fourth Estate. He has continued writing articles of dissent from the single pathogen theory of AIDS for publications including Continuum, New African, Mothering magazine, The Journal of Scientific Exploration, the Spectator and The Business Online.
In this hour-long discussion with David and Terry, Neville describes how he turned from being a promoter of “HIV=AIDS” to a critic, and how this latter position eventually forced him out of the Sunday Times. He shares his thoughts on this experience, and how he dealt with many different personalities, both in the UK and elsewhere, who both supported and condemned his work.
Thanks for another great interview. I listen whenever I can and you are certainly performing a great service by making these podcasts.
It is a bit disappointing, however, that I cannot hear more of what your guests have to say. Specifically, I would appreciate Terry asking more questions and making less statements. A couple times I couldn’t tell who was being interviewed, Neville Hodgkinson or Terry Michael!
It’s fine to lead the conversation, but please let the guests speak as much as possible.
Terry notes your complaint. My students have the same problem trying to get me to shut up. I will try to curb my enthusiasm for attempting to summarize arguments against the single pathogen theory in every podcast.
I understand, I have the same problem if I don’t catch myself!
