Caiazza
Catapano is not alone in his analysis. Dr. Stephen Caiazza spoke in Miami on March 13, 1988. Bob Mitchell brought his tape recorder.
"I am of the belief, belief shared by increasingly by others, that the so-called AIDS virus, HIV, HTLV-III, pick your own name, is not the cause of the disease ...
Let me give you a little history about how I got started on the AIDS-syphilis connection. Between 1982, when I began practicing, and 1986, I treated my AIDS patients in very standard, traditional, conservative way (sic) that any good doctor would manage these patients. And with the best care I could offer them, with as much time as I possibly could give to these unfortunate people, between 1982-1986 I lost somewhere in excess of 200 patients, which I believe, if you do a simple little bit of arithmetic calculation, averages out to approximately one a week. Now a year ago, I began treating all my AIDS and ARC patients only for syphilis, whether or not I could prove by conventional criteria that these patients had syphilis. And I have been treating them in a very aggressive manner -- I'm gonna go into that shortly -- for a very long period of time. I am not using any antivirals, and in that year's period of time, I have lost one patient."
