AZT quotes
[back] AZT

"AZT is toxic, it kills...... It kills the immune system, it kills healthy tissue.....I regard HIV as the greatest hoax and fraud in all of medical history, and I would say AZT would be up there."-- John Lauritsen interview by  Gary Null

In 1993, the delayed publication of the Concorde trial results showed conclusively that asymptomatic antibody-positive individuals who took AZT, died more quickly and in greater number than those simply affected by AIDS-defining illnesses. [1997 Word doc] HIV, AZT, big science & clinical failure By MARTIN J. WALKER

The recommended AZT dose for African infants and small children is the same per kg of body weight as the original high-dose AZT that is widely acknowledged to have killed an entire generation of grown men, and which has not been administered for almost a decade.Jan 2007] The WHO's Blueprint for Genocide

Tuberculosis has always been a good indicator for the weal and woe of a society (see the frequency of TB in Germany after the two world wars, Statistisches Bundesamt Wiesbaden). Modern tuberculosis however is now, after the introduction of HIV-tests, called AIDS and is treated accordingly. In India they showed me patients who had tuberculosis and sold house and home, in order to get the cure (AZT) from the West. "----By Claus Köhnlein

My book, "AIDS: What the Government Isn't Telling You," written in 1991, details what happened to me when I began to expose the AIDS cover-up. Brick-bats came from every direction! My book may read like a novel but it is totally factual. Every claim I made in the book is fully documented and it is still as true and up-to-date as the day I wrote it - with three exceptions. When I wrote the book, I did not know the following: 1) that AIDS is a man-made virus (I now have the government documentation confirming that this is true), 2) that AIDS is, indeed, curable! (See my video "Diseases Don't Just Happen"), and 3) that AZT, one of the most dangerous drugs on the market, will destroy even more the already suppressed immune system of an AIDS patient.

"The most toxic drug that has ever been licensed for long term consumption in the free world. ... AZT is a prescription drug and according to the manufacturer itself it causes symptoms that are indistinguishable from AIDS. So I would say it is not arrogant for me to say that AZT is AIDS by prescription."- Dr Peter Duesberg

"In 1993 about 200,000 HIV positive individuals received AZT……the consumption of AZT by HIV positive individuals will, over time, destroy their immune systems and produce AIDS. This is even acknowledged by Wellcome…..(it) will definitely fulfill the prophesy of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis: HIV positive individuals who get AZT will get AIDS."—Peter Deusberg & John Yiamouyiannis, Ph.D.

The label on an AZT bottle from the Sigma Co. The AZT advisory on the label reads: "TOXIC. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Target organ(s): Blood bone marrow. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Wear suitable protective clothing." Note the skull and bones on the label; the indication for a deathly poison (bottle contains only 100 mg, people with HIV are prescribed 500 to 1500 mg a day).

"Recent studies have indicated that those who take AZT die up to a year faster than those who do not take it, and Hedlund (AZT litigation lawyers) claim: "I think that the overwhelming information is that AZT is deadly and it just hurts people."—Celia Farber

"Prior to October of 1997, I believed that HIV was the cause of AIDS based solely on the information that had been reported by the United States Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) and the AIDS establishment. However, my view was unquestionably changed when I evaluated the medical evidence on the worldwide AIDS epidemic. My findings clearly show: 1) The HIV-hypothesis is not supported by any medical fact and AIDS is caused by agents and factors other than HIV. 2) The proponents of the HIV-hypothesis have long overlooked crucial and essential medical evidence that clearly describes the real causes of AIDS. 3) The results of clinical studies on AZT, protease inhibitors, and nevirapine indicate that these agents can cause severe systemic damage, AIDS, and death."----Mohammed A. Al-Bayati

"Documents at the NCI in 1991 revealed that Maitake mushrooms were as effective as the toxic killer  drug AZT. Incredibly the NCI converted the natural Maitaki extract into a sulphate and thus rendered it toxic. ...AZT continues to make billions for Wellcome, while committing mass murder...GOD offered the FDA an incentive in the form of a good job in heaven, but withdrew the offer when he realised they were all destined to go to Hell!."--Robert Willner, M.D.

"MYTH: AZT kills HIV and extends life expectancy FACT: AZT kills fast growing cells irregardless of whether they are infected with HIV. AZT attacks the immune system and causes the same symptoms attributed to AIDS progression. (this applies to all the "anti-virals": DDI, D4T, 3TC and DDC). AZT is highly toxic and it kills cells randomly! The toxic effects of AZT include anemia, muscle atrophy, nausea, lymphoma and bone marrow cancer."—HEAL SF http://www.healsf.org/related_sites.htm

"The list of celebrity AIDS patients who died on AZT for their belief in medical authority includes ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, who died in 1993, Randy Shilts, the author of the bestseller And the Band Played On, who died in 1994 and many more. As a thoroughly politicized epidemic, AIDS began with a falsehood and ended in tragedy. Virus hunters in the CDC­directed public health movement first made the new syndrome appear contagious. Virus hunters in the NIH­funded research establishment then blamed AIDS on a retrovirus. And virus hunters in the NIH, CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical industry exploited the situation by resurrecting failed cancer chemotherapeutic drugs for AIDS treatment. In the crisis atmosphere created by the CDC, which allowed no time to think before acting, such toxic drugs as AZT, ddI, and ddC could bypass the normal review procedures and achieve a sanctified monopoly status. The final results have been an unnecessary death toll and an artificially expanding AIDS epidemic."—Peter Deusberg

"At present, evidence exists showing that AZT causes "a significant increased risk of death among the patients treated early", that is, in patients who commence treatment when asymptomatic. In other words, instead of curing patients or prolonging life AZT shortens it. Furthermore, since some of the clinical and laboratory manifestations of AZT toxicity mimic AIDS, it is impossible to differentiate between AZT toxicity and AIDS. *---By Eleni Papadopulos et al.

“AZT is a poison. AZT commonly causes miscarriages and severe birth defects. AZT is a highly toxic chemotherapy which interrupts DNA synthesis and destroys the immune system. In fact, AZT is a tragedy which I believe has led to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, primarily in wealthier countries.”
“AZT is part of the problem, not the solution. I do not want to see this tragedy and anguish imported into Africa and other developing areas of the world.”
— Lynn Fall (née Gannett), Former data manager, phase III clinical trials of AZT (1987-1990) http://aras.ab.ca/aidsquotes.htm

“Before Ryan White there was me. Same doctors, same hospital… [They told me to] take AZT... I said no to the doctors and I am alive. I have been black-balled by the press which made a hero out of White.”
“Some people have said that the virus does exist but it’s a harmless one. You’ll test positive for it, but it won’t cause any harm. I’m inclined to believe that. Because I’m not sick. It hasn’t hurt me, and it hasn’t hurt my [HIV+] brothers, and it hasn’t hurt my [HIV+] uncles. And it hasn’t hurt their kids, and it hasn’t hurt their wives.”
“And by the way, I smoke and drink... It’s not like I’m a health nut, or I take any extraordinary measures to protect my health.”
