    This table is constructed from data in two CDC HIV/AIDS Surveillance Reports: the first is the year-end report through December 1997; the second is “Table 8. Estimated numbers of deaths of persons with AIDS, by year of death and selected characteristics, 2003-2007 and cumulative — United States and dependent areas”. The former gave deaths by year for the years before 1981 through 1997. The latter gave cumulative totals through 2007. (About a decade ago the CDC stopped reporting “AIDS” deaths by year, including past years, which made it necessary to combine these two reports.)
    Observe that 96% of the “AIDS deaths” occurred after AZT was introduced in 1987. This was also the year that “AIDS” incidence peaked and the year that the CDC greatly expanded the surveillance definition.
    What did all these people die of? Poisons (both “recreational” and pharmaceutical) and lethal diagnoses and counselling. They were prescribed toxic and worthless drugs that they didn't need. They were never told what the real risk factors are for AIDS-indicator diseases. (Heroin users were never told to stop injecting heroin, only to use clean needles. Gay men were told it was safe to use poppers.) They were all told that they would die from an invariably fatal disease.
    This table refers to “deaths of people with AIDS diagnoses”. It's important to resist saying such things as “AIDS cases” or “AIDS deaths”.
    Note that most deaths among “HIV-positive” individuals (according to the unvalidated HIV-antibody tests) now occur before they have acquired an “AIDS” diagnosis. These are called “death before diagnosis”. For years in Massachusetts the leading cause of death among patients with an “HIV-positive” diagnosis has been liver cancer, caused by the various “anti-viral” drugs. These are not counted as “AIDS” deaths. Therefore, the above data greatly understate the lethality of the “anti-viral” drugs, which are the leading cause of “HIV-positive” deaths, as well as “AIDS” deaths.
