Some of his early criticisms of the HIV/AIDS theory right after it was proposed were not off the wall and might well be considered well taken at the time, given that not much was known. Unfortunately, while the evidence has piled up since that time, Duesberg has ventured into whackjob territory. He was once challenged to have blood from an HIV+ patient injected into his bloodstream if he really believed that HIV was not the cause of AIDS (he has off and on again denied the existence of an ERV identified as HIV) and has given multiple excuses for not rising to the challenge.

Had no idea that half these people existed and posed such threats to science — or in this guy's case, the world. <br /><br />What would be really cool if all these "loons" were classified according to their specific brand of lunacy: an ark for creationists, a crossed-out 'V' for anti-vaccers, and so on. Just an idea. Seth C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05405035517144761938noreply@blogger.com
