Doc Brown -- a PhD in mathematics and, ahem, frequent commentator in Barnesville-- has a few insightful comments on two things: a great man and a great issue.
The great man is former Yale Professor Serge Lang -- who sadly passed away last year at age 78.
The great issue is how Professor Lang had the scientific guts, scientific integrity and scientific honesty (unlike some current professors we know) to challenge some of the shiboleths of the AIDS establishment.
Wrote Lang:
"I am especially concerned when people who construct a reality askew from the outside world have the influence or power to impose their reality in the classroom, in the media, and in the formulation of policy, domestic or foreign. I find the situation especially serious when political opinions are passed off as science, and thereby acquire even more force."
For AIDS, the reality was pumping 1500 mg of AZT -- toxic cancer chemotherapy -- into 300,000 or so AIDS patients from 1987-1997. This was a bad idea. Many of these folks were killed by the AZT.
I highly recommend reading thru some of Lang's work, that Doc Brown has assembled right here.
I highly recommend reading Lang's book (1 of about 50) called Challenges.
You will learn something, kiddo.

Will have a look, thanks HB.

Lang wrote a lot more books than 50, try about 100 or more. There's an old joke that if you called the Yale math dept. and asked for Lang, they would tell you, "I'm sorry, he can't come to the phone right now...he's writing a book this week."
