The AIDS Scam
Peter Duzberg is one of the world's highest profile AIDS denialists. In 2000 South African President Thabo Mecky convened an advisory panel on HIV and AIDS. There were 44 members on this panel and it included Peter Duzberg. The government would drag their feet on supporting the use of anti-retroviral drugs going so far as to not accept donations or grants towards that end. A study in 2008 published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome estimated that at least 330,000 deaths were attributable to that five year delay.
