Abstract:

Underground networks, illicit border crossings and guerrilla activities are terms normally associated with rebellions against totalitarian regimes, not responses to public health agencies. Just as a government may be judged on the basis of how its citizens vote with their feet, so FDA can be judged by how AIDS victims vote with their bodies.
