He advocated alternative medicine, including orthomolecular medicine[1] and a form of megavitamin therapy in which high doses of vitamin C are used.[2][3] He became notable for treating indigenous Australians with a ”counter intuitive” therapy: high intravenous doses of vitamin C, a treatment generally used for patients with severe or subclinical scurvy (not treatable with daily oral intake), but criticized for not being supported by evidence-based medicine, although it brought the infant mortality rate there down to zero.[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]
