Why thankyou for thanking me.
It's not hard to do but it does take some of my time so it's good to know my efforts are appreciated.
Most folks just get angry and call me a troll or a shill so it's nice to get someone saying something pleasant for a change.

I'm going to ask you to do something you don't normally do here if you can.
Stop thinking that you know everything and have to be the "winner" and actually read what's in the link I'm putting below.
It's not very long and won't take all that long and you should like it as well as it's written by Karry Mullis himself.
It is from his autobiography.
When you've read it you can tell me what you think or keep your opinions private.

From what I've read its a good book.
He was interesting, he led a pretty cool life from what I understand.
What a great man. If only the scientific and academic world had more people like Kary. Truly a free thinker and with a moral backbone that is sadly lacking in most of the establishment. Science snd academia need a total overhaul. Individuality, free thinking and constant questioning and testing of theories without fear of reprisal is essential. Kary Mullis is a very sad loss to the world.

It must of been both interesting and an honour to meet him, he was a special man if a little eccentric.
I'm surprised you didn't know about the astrology.
And yes, there's lots of good things said about him on the link.
It's bad enough that we have blogs and bit chute videos used as evidence here these days, lets not start using amazon reviews as anything other than for a reference when looking to make a purchase shall we

You have given me this site where there are reviews, so I can use them. If anything it proves my point.
He has been misunderstood and misrepresented by others who don't understand science and research. It's as simple as that. They don't even understand the basics to add a little more on this.
His criticisms of Fauci are legitimate as there plenty more able scientists who should have been in the positions of power and influence and certainly not Fauci and co.
In relation to the other matters in the book and especially HIV and AIDS one has to be able to understand what Mullis has said. Apart from this, one must have some good knowledge of molecular biology and retroviruses. HIV is one such retrovirus. Retroviruses are RNA viruses and when infect a cell they use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to convert their genome into DNA. Then it is integrated into the genome of the host cell. Retroviruses are known for not being pathogenic and have been pinpointed much earlier as probable cancer causing viruses. In the 60s and 70s they were researched a lot and it has been proven that in wild animals and humans they cause nothing. They just integrate their genome into the host cell genome.
The person who discovered HIV, Luc Montagnier, has also hinted that retroviruses don't do much. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the virus and there is nobody who has been awarded a similar prize for the causative link between HIV and AIDS. And that what Mullis discusses and has discussed since then. Who has proved that HIV caused AIDS and under what mechanism.
Strangely enough Professor Montagnier has been accused of spreading conspiracy theories as he claimed that SARS-COV-2 was created and leaked from a laboratory.
It seems that Nobel Prize Winners are involved in a lot of conspiracies in our days...
You can't expect the sheep to really respect the best and the brightest. They don't know the difference really. I mean I like humans, don't get me wrong, but basically the vast majority of them do not possess the ability who is and who isn't a really good scientist
