But the truth will out.
Asked why she endorsed the views of Aids dissident Matthias Rath, the minister said: "I don't remember saying I endorse the Matthias Rath foundation ... but if he is providing nutrients it is not in contradiction to the comprehensive plan." Aha. And what about those pesky anti-retrovirals?
The good doctor said she would continue to warn the public of their adverse effects.
Strange that, for a minister who has okayed R3.4-billion in tenders to dispense them to the public.
