"HIV/AIDS" was built on a handful of papers published in 1984/5 that were not peer-reviewed and published for the scientific community to vet BEFORE the government declared they were the correct scientific basis for declaring the known cause, at a press conference. It's probably the most egregious case of 'science by press release' we have.

Worse, Gallo and his lab were found to have committed scientific 'misconduct' (softened version of fraud) because the lab books and the data within them were different from what was published in the papers.

"As to the many errors in the 1984 paper, which was co-authored with Dr. Popovic, the report concluded, "In light of his role as senior author, Dr. Gallo must bear substantial responsibility for the numerous discrepancies, including four instances of scientific misconduct attributed to Dr. Popovic."

"On the standards of Dr. Gallo's laboratory record-keeping, the report said, "Especially in light of the groundbreaking nature of this research and its profound public health implications, O.R.I. believes that the careless and unacceptable keeping of research records reflects irresponsible laboratory management that has permanently impaired the ability to trace the important steps taken."

RFK knows this history.

Rebecca, it seems to me that Unz is somewhat overstating the case that Kennedy makes in the book. Kennedy isn't saying AIDS is a hoax, he's saying that HIV as the cause of AIDS is a hoax and that it's more of a lifestyle affliction than a disease spread via the sharing of bodily fluids.
