Has anyone ever been asked to return a Nobel Prize? As you can see, the winners always keep it.
Medical science firmly believed that schizophrenia could be cured by infecting the sufferer with malaria (Nobel Prize, 1927) or by cutting out bits of brain (Nobel Prize, 1949) before settling—for the moment?—on drugs. Diseases like mad cow disease were firmly believed to be caused by lentiviruses (Nobel Prize, 1976) until the firm belief became that they are caused not by viruses but by prions (Nobel Prize, 1997).
Winner in 1997 was awarded one for believing the 1976 winner wrong.

Gore's scam is going to end and he knows it, probably from the beginning. He's just trying to keep it going as long as possible to rake in as much money as he can.
