For last few years this has been outside Northword Military Base but this year it was held outside the Equadorian Embassy, I think, in solidarity with Assange and Manning.

Duesberg merely denies that HIV is the cause. Lomborg does not even discuss the cause or truth of global warming, but he suggests that stopping it by reducing our injection of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere would be both politically impossible and incredibly more expensive than dealing with the warming that will inevitably occur in any case.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338062997104070546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719096449402136306.post-39101913586819713112010-02-13T18:11:37.658+11:002010-02-13T18:11:37.658+11:00But Doug, I'm not the lone person, nor is Baue...But Doug, I'm not the lone person, nor is Bauer nor Duesberg, the youngest researcher ever inducted into the National Academy of Science. Indeed, since Duesberg was the acknowledged world's best expert on retroviruses, one can just as well or better identify Gallo as the one who plays that lone person role. I gather that he changed the manuscript and meaning of the first article for Science while the actual laboratory researcher was off skiing.<br /><br />Perhaps you'd be interested in the reasonably well known “intestinal dysbiosis” condition which also causes at least some African AIDS. See anecdotal discussion at: http://reducetheburden.org/?p=2633<br /><br />Then too,note that Peter Doherty says "Comparable intimations of disaster during, for instance, the testing of a new drug would lead to the immediate termination of the trial." But that is exactly what did NOT happen with AZT. Even HAART seems to lead death by organ failure more often than the predicted eventual death by opportunistic disease.<br /><br />Science is not democratic. Consensus is not truth.

But it remains easy to be fooled if you don't check carefully for other possible causes when you find an association. For example, Henry Bauer shows conclusively that HIV as found by our current tests, cannot possibly be the cause of AIDS. It's not even an infection. See his brief MedSeminar.pdf which shows that clearly using only official USA statistics.
