I read through the draft and it sounds more unhinged than that. I noticed that most of the bibliography refers to editorials in the journal
Medical Hypotheses by the author, Bruce Charlton, who was editor-in-chief at the time (according to
Wikipedia). After the journal published some stuff by AIDS denialists, Elsevier told Charlton that published papers needed to be peer-reviewed. Charlton refused and was fired.
The whole thing reminds me of Linus Pauling and his
Vitamin C weirdness. Clinical trials demonstrated that Pauling's medical ideas were wrong and instead of accepting the results, he pretty much rode off the rails and started accusing the medical establishment of scientific fraud.
