Robert Willner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Willner (died 15 April 1995) was a doctor from Florida who became famous for his role in AIDS denialism - the view that AIDS is not caused by the HIV virus.
Willner authored a book presenting his point of view on the relation between HIV and AIDS, titled "Deadly Deception: the Proof That Sex And HIV Absolutely Do Not Cause AIDS".[1] The book was published shortly after Willner's medical license was revoked for, among other things, treating an AIDS patient with ozone therapy.[2]
The following month, on October 28, 1994, in a press conference at a North Carolina hotel, Willner
jabbed his finger with blood he said was from an HIV-infected patient.[2] Willner
died six months later, on April 15, 1995, of a heart attack.[3]
