You didn't discredit the inference you simply disagreed with it.

It is an epidemic, whatever it's cause. Stop avoiding the point that was actually being made
that your colleagues are unlikely to have been taught about enhancing antibodies as it is not
something they need to know to do their day to day job. Especially the "dentists, nurses in
AIDS education, laboratory technicians in the HIV testing arena" where it has no relevance. The
only people likely to be taught about enahncing antibodies are immunologists, anyone taking
advaned immunology options in their degree or people studying for a Ph.D.

No -one has time to research every single disease. It is obvious that in any field you trust
your peers to provide information tthat you cannot spend the time obtaining for yourself. You
also skewed this back into the HIV=AIDS debate again which I did NOT bring up. Keep to the
argument.

I'm not resorting to ad hominem attacks so I am not a hypocrite. You are for berating your
opponents for doing it and then doing it yourself.

YOU were presenting this argument not Peter Duesberg. Peter Duesberg has presented data in the
scientific literature and the majority of scientists do not accept that his theories fit the
evidence better than the current HIV hypothesis.

Obviously. This 'discussion' is closed as far as I am concerned as you are unable to enter into
any kind of rational dialogue.

Utter rubbish. I haven't presented any data on the argument you want to have as it wasn't the
topic of discussion. If I thought there was any point arguing with you I would. As it is you
seem far more close-minded than the scientists you accuse.
Good bye and please leave the immunology newsgroup until you have something to say on the
subject.
