Mbeki, The president of south Africa ran a program denying aids was caused by a virus. His health minister instead recommend lemon juice and beetroot. "In the following eight years of his presidency, Mbeki continued to express sympathy for HIV/AIDS denialism, and instituted policies denying antiretroviral drugs to AIDS patients.[1] The Mbeki government even withdrew support from clinics that started using AZT to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. He also restricted the use of a pharmaceutical company's donated supply of nevirapine, a drug that helps keep newborns from contracting HIV" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_denialism_in_South_.... |
