Yet you provide no lead... Moving on to other subjects doesn't mean you have changed our mind.
Neither the Wiki seems to reflect your claim. You would expect they'd have a field day...
Neither is it obvious at first glance on Kary's site. I would expect a more visible note, yet the mildest info I can find also involves your question...
"Regarding AIDS I have published a hypothesis wherein the Retroviridae in general, rather than a particular species, is the problem. This was published in Genetica 95:195- 197, 1995. It offers a mechanism for how the disease develops, and importantly makes predictions that can be experimentally confirmed or falsified easily in rodents. This hypothesis may or may not be true but it illustrates the nature of a useful scientific hypothesis. This is in contrast to the current AIDS establishment’s “It’s the virus, stupid!” No experiments were ever done or even suggested to test the HIV hypothesis. The fact that antiretroviral therapies may prolong the lives of some people infected with retroviruses says nothing more than the fact, that in other cases they are not at all useful. Something is going on here that we don’t understand. Scientists have to keep that in mind."
And finally, he just has a good video or two; not everything hangs on him. But I'm not aware if others have changed their mind.
If your claim is right, it explains better to me why he is a speaker on TED , but I don't see it yet...
You are right. I cannot find it either. But I remember some years ago when reading a lot about it I found he had changed his view. I'll try to find it more exhaustively.
Btw the quote you posted is from which year ? Antiretroviral drugs have been improved and for the majority of the people it works.
LinkMore than 80% of patients in an inner-city HIV clinic achieved virologic suppression.
A report from the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinic shortly after the introduction of potent antiretroviral therapy (ART) showed that only 44% of patients receiving therapy between 1996 and 1998 achieved viral loads <500 copies/mL (JW AIDS Clin Care Sep 1 1999). Now, an update from the same clinic shows how far we have come.
Researchers evaluated viral-load data for patients seen at the clinic between 1996 and 2010. During this study period, the clinic population became older (with a median age of 49 by 2010) and shifted to include higher proportions of women and of patients who acquired HIV heterosexually. The percentage of patients receiving ART increased from 22% to 85%, and the median viral load for the entire clinic population decreased from 10,000 to <200 copies/mL. In 2010, only 16% of patients had viral loads >500 copies/mL — and many of these individuals were not receiving ART. The rate of retention in care was remarkably high: 94% in 2003–2009.
I think none of the denialists would agree to be infected on purpose with HIV. If it doesn't cause AIDS, what's the problem ?
Duesberg for instance claims HIV is totally harmless.
I call this hypocrisy
