Of heroes and bigots (Part 2)

Hello all,

Further to my "Of heroes and bigots" blog, I'm posting here a link (sent to me by a guy called Lucio) about the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) for HIV/AIDS. Basically, this is a group chaired by Zackie Achmat which is leading the fight to make provisions for retroviral medicine to be made available and afforadable for all those who need it. Also, an apology; unlike I stated in my last blog, Mr Achmat isn't dead (at least, that's not what it says on Wikipedia.) He is, however, boycotting the retroviral medicine until it's made freely available, and he is still facing a ridiculous legal challenge by Messrs Brink and Roth (notice I avoided using the word "doctors" there.) I will make the necessary corrections to the previous blog; in the meantime, please support the TAC and fight dangerous purveyors of bad science.

Peace,
Liam (the cyber-Prof)
