Re: [A-List] How "scientific" is science?

Koch's requirements are not met at all re hiv. Not at all. If you are
referring to all those papers dealing with supossed particles of the virus
then you are dead wrong in claiming that a virus has been idientified. Oh,
yeah. What does it look like? Where is the electron photography of it?
What is its DNA structure? How can a virus attack the very system which
defeats such viruses? Why has the virus never exploded into the general
poulation?
