Back in 1988 Peter Duesberg, a respectable biologist, said that HIV was not a legitimate virus and could not cause AIDs. Ever since then Professor Duesberg has been an outcast, a pariah. Possibly because of Duesberg, HIV got re-named a retro-virus.
This is a heads-up for my readers: Lynn Margulis,
the biologist who showed how the mitochondria originally migrated into
the single celled creatures of early life, has been saying privately to
friends that Duesberg is an honest competent man who should be taken seriously.
Now comes an article in the December Esquire by an economist who looked at the AIDs data for Africa and says almost the same things that Duesberg said 18 years ago. In addition she says there are about a third as many AIDs cases as officials say there are.
Just a heads up. I don't have a dog in this fight, as Texans are fond of saying.
