...and he was put onto (kicked up to) the National Academy of the Sciences (which was to help cover up his crimes). When I read that scammer fraud incarnate had been put onto the NAS, 1) I nearly fell off the chair 2) I suddenly understood what the NAS was for and 3) wrote an all-caps email to David Rasnick bellowing in outrage and incredulity. Also it's hilarious that they can theorize their way out of anything...

Also does the AMA make medical determinations? That really would be peer-reviewed material going into JAMA, which is such a joke as a medical journal. It's really the Journal of Who the Hell Cares What Goes In, such as how safe allegedly dioxin is.

For a while this was the first "case"

...then it was rolled back to around 1953.

The way you know it's virology is the story morphs every 20 minutes...every story, every claim, every theory, it's a kaleidoscope.

AZT killed Arthur Ashe. I think it killed everyone in the early 90s era -- the big second wave...

This was a huge public drama at the time...he was a test case and warned he would be dead on three months if he took the stuff.

Mind blown! We participated in a flagrant fraud during the aids/hiv era similar to the Covid-19 plandemic. Gallos crooked edits and restatements ushered in a devastating time of misdiagnosis and mistreatment. I picture a peevish self preserving scoundrel preempting the French,rushing back to drag his researcher from a vacation like some sort of T/A and browbeating him to acquiesce.
