    From 145 patient studies, done with placebo.

    There’s another article just below that talking about a study with 282 patients and the adverse health affects.

    Again, I was more talking about the article.

      No, you weren’t. You were injecting your own pseudoscienentific opinion. AZT did not “kill thousands” and the article did not make that claim, so you’re sourcing it from a notable liar.

      If you want to talk about why the study was not ideally run, be my guest, but AZT is effective for what it does: Preventing HIV from using the cheapest pathway to insert itself into your genome. It is why it’s still part of the drug cocktail to this day.
