In 1960 a veteran retro virologist urged his peers to “raise questions whether the known facts about viruses suffice to account for it.” The subject was cancer, the veteran was Peyton Rous, and the quote is from a paper in Cancer Research. Mindful of that example, in 198I, asked a similar question in a paper likewise published in Cancer Research: whether the known facts about two human retroviruses suffice to account for Leukemia and AIDS.

Clearly, following Rous’s example did not make me very popular with the multinational club of retro virologists. My article was officially ignored and not “dignified” with a response because the AIDS virus establishment was “too busy . . . saving lives” and testing for antibodies to HIV – just like they are doing today with the phantom corona virus or COVID-19.
