Aside from all that, we recall that antibodies to malaria and other diseases prevalent in Africa show up as HIV-positive on tests.
Serge Lang Given the current state of knowledge, it is illegitimate to discard a priori the possibility of factors for KS independent of HIV. Serge Lang I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground. Serge Lang I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior. Serge Lang If Baltimore's view, that scientists who do not take the words of authorities are far removed from the ordinary behavior of scientists, prevails in the scientific community, then something fundamental, very serious, and very disturbing is happening to the scientific community. Serge Lang In policing science, I favor applying the norms of science, which require scientists to answer criticisms of their works openly and publicly. Serge Lang In the last decade, Peter Duesberg has been one of those who have continued to raise questions about the drug hypothesis seriously.

Serge Lang The year 1994 especially saw a continuing evolution in thinking about HIV, and what is regarded as appropriate for mainstream publications. Serge Lang There exist thousands of Americans who have AIDS-defining diseases but are HIV negative. Serge Lang They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community. Serge Lang To address questions of scientific responsibility does not necessarily imply that one needs technical competence in a particular field (e.g. biology) to evaluate certain technical matters. Serge Lang What standards are upheld by the scientific community affect the community internally, and also affect its relations with society at large, including Congress. Serge Lang |
