I don’t understand why the opposition to this idea is so rabid. I mean, Duerberg’s work seems to be based on some solid scientific investigation - why can’t the supporters of the traditional view about AIDS just put their research on the table too, and see which is right? Why all the rabid screeching about “pseudo-science” and “flat earth” and whatnot?
I think the best explanation is the sheer size of government science. Once the number of scientists feeding at the public trough become disproportionate to their private industry counterparts, scientists can be effectively controlled by the political interests that control the money/power.
PS And that money and power is currently held by the virus-hunters (and their leftwing allies) with respect to AIDS.
Did, you get a chance to take a look at The Hidden Agenda Behind HIV? This one will make your blood boil (and help answer your question above).
