The Infectious Myth

Here was part of a note I sent to David Crowe, the show's host: I gather that you are no stranger to controversy and vitriol. From a quick bit of googling, I see that you have caused a stir in the HIV/AIDS world, and I heard you say that someone accused you of being a "rape apologist" or some such. I'm sure it can often feel quite discouraging to have your attempts to bring clarity to a topic met with such vitriolic responses. I sure hope you don't get too discouraged because the world has far too few people courageous, curious, and eloquent enough to intelligently question dogmas and received wisdom. You are desperately needed! Thank you for bravely putting your well-reasoned voice out there. No matter how much I may disagree with you on some topic, I promise I will continue to defend your dogma-exposing endeavor because the world needs more people like you.
