That may be the case. But it is my understanding that a causal relationship between HIV and AIDS has never been properly established either.
I think that's true. It's frightening to think that a plague like AIDS, which has sucked up immense amounts of government funding and medical research funds, is mostly politicized, with very little done to stop its spread.
I think a lot of the research money may be usefully spent on related matters, like immunodeficiency and cancer, so the money's not entirely wasted. I don't say Duesberg is wrong, I just don't know if he's right. Normally his work would either be confirmed or refuted by other researchers, but I'm afraid I don't believe anyone has really done either. They just condemn him out of hand.
