2002-11-28 THE WORLD NEEDS DUESBERGS!

...Peter Duesberg is no amateur- a world-leading retro-virologist who pioneered major advances in medical science. He asked pertinent questions in controversial territory and broke from the mainstream in pursuit of the truth.
Answers will not yield to an agenda other than truth. Science cannot make concessions to politics, and expect to advance. Duesberg is the genuine article- he valued integrity above popularity at considerable cost to his career. Science needs such people - but they are sacrificed and punished for the very qualities that make them indispensible. When they most needed Duesberg his funding was axed. Fifteen years on, a defensively hostile mainstream is failing in its fight against AIDS because free thought is heresy.
"inventing the Aids Virus" is an education in AIDS , medicine, science, politics , psychology and human nature - providing unprecedented insight into this epoch-making conflict of scientific, social , political and commercial interests - a world unseen and unimagined ,by the lay-public. Brilliantly written, exhaustively researched and massively documented, compellingly readable and accessible to scientist and layman alike.
I only hope it will not be too long before science can once again benefit from Duesbergs genius.
