The Infectious Myth - Outside the AIDS Zone: Michael Ellner’s Life and Legacy - 04.10.18

Michael Ellner was a powerful force, from the mid-1980s on, resisting the pharmaceutical paradigm of HIV=AIDS=Death in New York City and globally. He conceived the concept of “The AIDS Zone”, where psychological factors trap victims in the grip of fear where the only salvation is the magical concoctions provided by the pharmaceutical industry, starting with the deadly AZT in 1987. David interviews four of his friends to remember his life and legacy – Celia Farber, Joan Shenton, Barnett “Bud” Weiss and Tom Diferdinando, in time for his birthday on April 10th.
