[edit] AIDS denial & Luc Montagnier

"AIDS reappraisal", which more properly should be known as AIDS denial, generally denies that HIV causes AIDS. Basically these are raving lunatics like Peter Duesberg and Phillip E. Johnson, who like holocaust denialists and evolution denialists, deny everything without specifying what their alternative is. I doubt very much that Prof. Montagnier is in with this group (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he has spoken publicly against this nonsense), though no doubt he is misquoted by them.

So where is the citation for this? Paul Silverman 17:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Its a bit demented to to use emotive terms like "holocaust denial" when someone questions a scientific discovery. Its only by questioning we learn more about scientific discovery. These emotive terms should be removed. It just goes to show that the battles for hearts and minds in the HIV debate is has strong has ever ,and that Gallo and his peers havent won the argument ....yet.

The problem is that scientists question findings all the time. AIDS denial is a transparent sham and has many of the features of holocaust denial.

Anyway, no-one's answered my question. I would expect misquotation, it's about all their argument stacks up to be. Where has Mr Montagnier denied AIDS causes HIV? Paul Silverman 23:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
