Congressional Candidate's Ties to Bizarre AIDS Research
by Joseph Rhee, The Blotter (ABC News blog):
Dr. (Victoria) Wulsin, an
epidemiologist who had worked with AIDS patients in Africa, was
hired in 2004 by the Heimlich Institute in Cincinnati to conduct
research into malariotherapy. The institute is headed by famed
doctor Henry Heimlich, inventor of the life-saving Heimlich maneuver
and as reported on ABC News 20/20, a leading proponent of using
malaria to cure AIDS. In the 1990s, Heimlich commissioned a study
where AIDS patients in China were deliberately infected with
malaria and he was recently involved with a research project
involving AIDS patients from Ethiopia who were initially denied
available medicines to treat malaria.
