With apologies to Keith Olberman, today’s worst person in the world: Robin Scovill

 

Scovill is the child abusing father of Eliza Jane Scovill who died from AIDS related complications at age 3. He was married to uber denialist Christina Maggiore, who succumbed to her own denial, dying of AIDS late last year.

Maggiore was diagnosed with HIV in 1991. She latched on to a group of anti-science knuckleheads who think that anything and everything other than HIV causes AIDS. She wrote the screed, “What If Everything You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?” which tragically convinced far too many people to reject anti-retroviral treatment and embrace hucksterism and denial.

People have the right to kill themselves due to neglect and stupidity. These two however killed their daughter, just as surly as had they slowly starved her to death. As reported on www.poz.com yesterday, a settlement was reached in a suit filed by Scovill against the LA county coroner who ruled Eliza’s death to be from AIDS.

If Scovill got a penny from the settlement, it is nothing less than blackmail by legal brief, and a true insult to the lost life of Eliza Jane. Details of the settlement have not been made public, so for now at least we just don’t know.

Robin you are a monster.

You sat by and watched you child die due to your neglect. Rather than learning from this needless death, you just deepened your embrace of your nonsensical flat earthism. In fact you sought to gain financially from your daughter’s death.

Monster.

Then you sat by as you watched your wife die. Two dead in your family caused in large part by your denialism.

Monster.
