Like this refutation from Gallo´s mistress? INteresting that someone who holds patents on the HIV test could be allowed on this review panel. "Science" as usual.

It didn't take long before he was excommunicated: He was no longer invited to speak at scientific conferences, or if he was, he was asked to promise not to bring up HIV. For the first time in his 25-odd years of practising science, he could not get papers published. Then came the death blow: In October 1990, Duesberg was informed that his $350,000-a-year research grant would be terminated when it ran out in 1992, Duesberg, a native German, had been funded by the U.S. government for over 20 years , but with this, he would be effectively silenced. He appealed the decision, pleading conflict of interest: The review committee that made the decision to discontinue his funding included Dr. Flossie Wong Staal, Gallo's long-time mistress and the mother of one of his children, and Dr. Dani Bolognesi, who holds a long-term patent on HIV antibody tests. The appeal was rejected, although a few government officials have rallied to Duesberg's defence, among them congressmen Ron Dellums and William Dannemeyer.
