Pride Chigwedere
Pride Chigwedere, MD, PhD (born 1st August 1974), a Zimbabwean national, is a Harvard trained physician-scientist working in Global Health. He is most notable for leading a team of Harvard researchers who demonstrated that South African President Thabo Mbeki's AIDS policies led to more than 300 000 deaths.〔() Researchers Estimate Lives Lost Due to Delay in Antiretroviral Drug Use for HIV/AIDS in South Africa〕〔() Estimating the Lost Benefits of Antiretroviral Drug Use in South Africa〕 While South Africa's policies had previously been condemned by many, Chigwedere's contribution was in developing and applying methods to quantify the impact of the policies thus demonstrating the calamitous consequences of AIDS denialism. Generalized, he developed an approach for evaluating public health practice and highlighted the need to develop a framework for accountability in public health. Drawing from the analogy with medicine, he has proposed the concept of public health malpractice to capture ''negligence that causes harm'' as a useful first step towards accountability in public health.〔Chigwedere, Pride Mugove. Antiretroviral Drug Use in South Africa: From Science to Practice and Malpractice. Harvard University Publications, 2008〕 A response to Chigwedere's work by AIDS denialists led by Peter Duesberg was initially published by the non-peer-reviewed journal ''Medical Hypotheses'' followed by a retraction because of poor quality of data, undeclared conflicts of interest and effects on global health.〔() Elsevier retracts Duesberg’s AIDS Denialist article〕 This has ignited a reappraisal of the peer review system for serious scientific journals.〔() Peer Reviewing Peter Duesberg – REJECTED—RETRACTED—REJECTED Again〕〔() Pity poor Peter Duesberg; even Medical Hypotheses has dissed him〕
