In this uncompromising new edition, psychologist and public-health researcher Seth Kalichman exposes how AIDS denialism adapts to new crises, new audiences, and new technologies. The COVID pandemic did not invent denialism -- it legitimized it. Arguments once dismissed as pseudoscience and conspiracy theories are amplified by political leaders. Denialism is now embedded in the broader anti-science movement that shakes the foundations of public health.
This is not a neutral accounting of competing ideas. It is a psychological autopsy of denialism and why it persists. Kalichman shines a bright light on the destructive appeal of denialists – from professors and politicians to celebrities and rock stars. He exposes the threats posed by denialists -- from discredited quacks to the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
is for anyone interested in public health. It is a deep dive into the psychological and sociopolitical forces that drive denialism. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride.
- Michael Merson, MD , Professor Emeritus of Public Health and Medicine, Duke University, and Former Director of the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS
