OK so you are now sliming your way away from your claim that the
increase in survival seen in combination therapy is due to some
"chemical reaction" that causes two drugs which have toxicities
separately to be less toxic together. Well then, if these drugs
do not attack HIV, how can you explain the reduction in deaths?
BTW: I don't work for a "think tank". Perhaps my citations of the
literature confuse you. It's relatively common, both in academia
and medicine. If you had a glancing awareness of either field, perhaps
you might know this. The inanity of your statements (like that
antibodies mean you have necessarily countered an infection)
convince me that it is *highly* unlikely that you are a dentist,
as you claim. Perhaps a dental hygienist?
I also have no idea what you mean by "they thrown everything into this
equation but El Nino." Besides the grammatical lapse, I have absolutely
no clue as to what you are babbling about. We do clinical trials.
A basic biostatistics text book could familiarize you with common
methodology.
