Of course, screening for HIV did essentially eliminate the transmission of this virus by transfusions.

Of course, there are diseases of which people die.

I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior.

The only goal of science is the honour of the human spirit, and a question in number theory is worth a question concerning the system of the world.

Originally, in the early eighties, the drug hypothesis was among the first which occurred to scientists.

Roughly speaking, this hypothesis asks whether drug use causes some of the diseases officially associated with AIDS, such as immunodeficiency and Kaposi's sarcoma.

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.
