Archivides "Archie" Kalokerinos (28 September 1927 – 1 March 2012) was an Australian physician and anti-vaccination advocate. He advocated alternative medicine, including orthomolecular medicine[1] and a form of megavitamin therapy in which high doses of vitamin C are used to treat nearly all ailments, including any virus.[2][3] He became notable for treating indigenous Australians with high intravenous doses of vitamin C,[1] a practice criticized by the medical community for being unsupported by data.[4]

Early life


Archivides Kalokerinos was born in Glen Innes, Australia, on 28 September 1927. He earned his MB BS degree from Sydney University in 1951 and then spent six years in England. He held the position of medical superintendent at a hospital in Collarenebri, New South Wales.[5]


Anti-vaccination activism


Kalokerinos was affiliated with Australian Vaccination Network, an anti-vaccination lobbyist group.[6] As a speaker for the group, Kalokerinos spread numerous conspiracy theories about vaccines, including that vaccines were used to spread HIV/AIDS in Nigeria as part of a deliberate genocide perpetrated by the World Health Organization and the Save The Children Fund,[2] that they were used by the Australian government to kill a large number of Aboriginal Australians, and that the United States planned to exterminate criminals by encouraging them to get vaccinated.[6] He has said that the deliberate mass killings perpetrated by the World Health Organization and the Save The Children Fund "put Hitler and Stalin in the shade".[2] None of these claims are supported by scientific evidence.[6]
