    Thanks. This article sends up the red flags, but I lack the expertise in
    immunology and retrovirology to put it all into proper perspective. I think
    there have been less iconoclastic ideas about co-factors or associated
    microbes such as mycoplasms (which are like bacteria without cell walls and
    IIRC the simplest form of non-viral organism) in the progression of AIDS.

    If so much effort is going into attacking HIV as the root cause, I'd assume
    everyone has it right and those dissidents such as Duesberg and Mullis are
    just grinding an axe. I'd guess that Gallo and Montagnier were pointing us
    in the right direction.

    An important social issue is how information, misinformation, and
    disinformation is generated and spreads.
