M.Ted, I did read the articles. I suggest you read the article cited by Wolfgang, The Evidence that HIV causes AIDS, before continuing to quote Dr. Mullis saying "There is no such document." I was unimpressed by the interview with Dr. Papadopoulos-Eleopoulos. It seems that her major point was "HIV can't be a retrovirus because we know what retroviruses look like and the pictures of HIV don't look like that." That is a surprising statement coming from someone who calls herself a scientist. Her interview sounds mostly like an attack on Dr. Tony Gallo. It's no secret that the world of scientific and medical research has more than its share of backbiting prima donnas. (I seem to recall that Dr. Gallo himself has been guilty of a few displays of ego in the past.) In science, as in many other fields, quite often you find that the more strident the voice, the weaker the facts.

The last article you quoted was by Michael Frumento, who is the author of a book entitled "The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS." I read what was supposed to be an excerpt from the book and cannot for the life of me figure out what his agenda is, except that he's pissed off at The New Republic for killing his article. But I could probably find several million women and their babies--the ones who are still alive, that is--who would strongly disagree with the statement that heterosexual AIDS is a "myth."

Aloha,
Mark
