Thanks for the update, Bob. Sounds like he's still pals with Duesberg
and dishing out the same sort of selective historic revisionism.
Although the articles discuss HIV transmission, the early paragraphs
strongly suggest that he still denies the relationship between HIV and
AIDS. *sigh*
Note the following: PJ writes, "This sleight of hand came naturally
to the virus hunters at the National Cancer Institute, who had
invented the HIV theory of AIDS after they had wasted many billions
searching for a viral cause of cancer and needed a new "deadly virus"
to justify their huge funding."
They "invented" the HIV theory of AIDS, eh? Ha! That stillborn, pathetic
claim has been around since the late 1980s (If anyone believes that I've
also got the shocking story that Darwin recanted evolution on his deathbed...)
Or maybe the true story was that researchers found a previously unknown
virus that was not only responsible for killing many homosexuals and IV
drug abusers but was also getting into the nation's blood supply system
(additionally killing thousands of hemophiliacs and transfusion patients
like Arthur Ashe as a consequence).
But hey, if one assumes that most of science is little more than a
political exercise, who knows what to think? That's kind of a post-
modern viewpoint, isn't it?
