In the early 90's Professor Gordon Stewart correctly predicted the spread of AIDS based on a risk hypothesis rather than a sexually infectious hypothesis. His predictions for the UK and Africa have proved correct.
Below, is an extract from ‘Positively False' by Joan Shenton describing the way Professor Stewart was ignored by the medical establishment at the time.
Professor Stewart had been one of our scientific advisers through many of our science and medical programmes for television. We were in close touch with him when he made his predictions in 1989 and read all of his correspondence with the different science journal editors. He was deeply frustrated. He was the only senior public health expert who offered a learned and detailed critique of the Government's position, and not a single medical body or journal would give him an inch of space.
