He may not be a terrorist's top pick? Maybe, unless they were going to force him to create a cellular structure that would create a giant race of chickens to conquer the United States. Just imagine, running all around and pecking at things, it would be apocalyptic. . . Such a possibility was thoroughly explored [though utilizing Lepus alleni and/or Lepus callotis in a 1972 documentary film. The prospect is almost too horrible to contemplate. Even now, almost 30 years after viewing that horrible footage, echoes of the prophetic warnings still haunt me in occasional nightmares.
Oh, the horror....

So Mullis is not a microbiologist according to you. What about Duesberg? Is he not an expert precisely in the area of retroviruses? How do you account for his apostacy?

St Jude does NOT sit in the best area in Memphis. This is probably more crime related than anything. Memphis produces 50% of the State's inmates. Memphis averages 5 homicides a week.

I think that some of his points have merit but the fact that the cocktail of HIV drugs (each one independently validated) works quite well (on certain variants of HIV) is compelling evidence for the cause/effect relationship of HIV/AIDS. And the fact that some people get HIV but dont ever contract AIDS is more a testament to genetic polymorphisms are an evolutionary mechanism to prevent the human race from being wiped out by a single disease rather than solid dispute of HIV causing AIDS. Some people smoke their whole live and never get lung cancer. Other people smoke their lives and do get cancer. Just because people respond differntly to something foreign (whether its a virus or in this case a carcinogen) doesn mean that smoking doesnt cause cancer.

Thanks for the pink. This is a really strange one.

Any Agatha Christie fans on this thread? I remember a long time ago reading a story of hers where a bunch of bad guys kidnapped a number of leading scientists in order to use them to facilitate their plans for world domination, but I forget the details...
To: archy
Odd! They all work in circles and I am sure this guy knew something he should not have known. I would love to link all of the characters together.
I would also like to mention the fact that the Enquirer guy was in TN was he not? Maybe there is a strange relationship here. Maybe we are not piecing the puzzle the right way.
The military is planning on 18 new vaccines.
To: archy
it's not going to surprise me if we find out that this is our anthrax guy who figured out the fbi was on his tail...
To: Askel5
Judging from what I've read about the doctor he could help someone who needed advice on developing a recombinant bacteria or virus.
Or maybe they just need a prescription for Cipro.
I do remember some "questionable" activity in the Tennessee area lately.
I'll call the FBI as soon as I can find some chaser for a bottle of Rumpleminz I found on my way home.

Man ... where was Kale when you needed her (for highly technical company's sake) on the old Duesberg "Does - Does Not" threads?

"A structural biologist would probably not be the first choice of a terrorist looking for help making weapons of mass destruction." Is that something a terrorist would know, though? How many people have even heard the term "structural biologist"? I don't think I've ever seen it until I read this thread. Is it possible that a terrorist outfit would see the list of diseases the guy worked with, and decide he's just what they need, and then proceed to kidnap him?

"Kerry Mullis is an absolute fraud. Yeah he invented PCR" IIRC, he got the idea while high on LSD, causing scores of acidhead burnouts to rant "SEE?!?!?! SEE?!?!?!"

"It's still working for me, but I've grown accustomed to not counting on Commercial-Appeal stories to remain up for long before dissolving into the pay-to-read archive. But try *here*" I think this one was the problem: What is visna? (the original link was malformed and un-browsable)

No kidding.

I would also like to mention the fact that the Enquirer guy was in TN was he not? Maybe there is a strange relationship here. Maybe we are not piecing the puzzle the right way. See also the July 1994 death of Memphis attorney Stanley Huggins, certainly NOT an anthrax death. He went from robust and healthy, jogging on one Memphis morning, taking a commercial airline flight to a conference in Delaware, to deceased less than 24 hours later, in what was said to have been a case of viral pneumonia.
Such a strain of viral pneumonia, capable of infecting and killing a robust and healthy 46-year-old man in such a short timespan, would certainly make a viable biowarfare agent- if that was not its origin in the first place.

This is really getting weird! But as I posted about the 94 year old, how do we know if we are being told the truth to begin with. We are just relying on media. I won't call that to reliable. Health officials reliable? Question that too.
Here is another monkey wrench - The CDC is thought of as a civilian agency, but unbeknownst to most -- virtually all of the major policy and professional appointments at the CDC are staffed by MILITARY officers. This is described in the official gov't handbook on U.S. federal agencies. If you want a copy I can send it to you.

Funny, on other threads you seem to put a lot of faith in the FDA. Pretty selective if you ask me. Is your faith agenda driven? Just curious.

Sweetheart, I never said I put faith in the FDA and/or CDC. Just read the damn reports!

On the other thread you said this:
You may want to read the latest GAO Report plus other past GAO Reports, Congressional Reports and the FDA Reports. When making an intelligent opinion you need all the facts first. I did not write the reports, the GAO did. I also didn't write the FDA reports, they did.
Looks to me, sweetheart, that you have faith in the government agencies that support your position and none (my Dept of Defense cite) that show you're wrong. That leads to the big question: How much faith should we have in you?
