Same thing, imagine me just dismissing it with the wave of my hand,
it's that easy.

Is is "endemic" to the 90% of individuals it affects(IV drug users and
young gay males between the ages of 18 and 42, hardly infectious by
any stretch of the imagination)
 Stop avoiding the point that was actually being made

Nor should they
Especially the "dentists, nurses in

acceptance of a government dogma for that funding.

You are so incredibly full of shit.  Duesberg can't get an article

this will always be rational dialogue, that is an excellent qualifier.
