So Is Magic Johnson in the Clear Now, or What?

Seems like you don't hear a lot these days about HIV the virus that causes AIDS anymore. Seems like media coverage has slowed. I think if you're a disease, they shouldn't stop covering you just for fashionable reasons. I remember years ago you would open up a SPIN magazine and they would have some big multi-page article on HIV the virus that causes AIDS, and the article was all about some doctor claiming that maybe it didn't. But that dude...later, that dude was discredited. I'm pretty sure. Still. Seems weird he could have pulled the wool over the eyes of a then-major publication like SPIN. I guess he made a pretty persuasive case.

But the point is, even a totally marginal story about a totally marginal crackpot theorist like that would get major coverage in a then-read national publication. These days? Nary a peep, or nigh-nary at any rate.

You know, you don't hear much about SPIN anymore either. Are they still around?
