A couple of gems:

"In 1974 an investigative panel of university scientists found Dr. Gallo's lab to be one of the worst offenders in the scandalous abuse of federal funds for cancer research."

Newspaper headlines are superimposed over the bottom half of Keating as he talks.

"Two of his cohorts were later found guilty of embezzlement and taking secret gratuities."

The press conference is replaced on the green screen with video of an interview with Keating and another man, which soon takes over the entire picture.

"Dr. Mercer, tell us what you did in 1987."

"I compared the genetic codes of both the French virus they were calling LAV and the virus Dr. Gallo claimed to have discovered and was calling HTLV-3."

"And what were your conclusions?"

"The codes were so similar - almost identical - that I knew they were not independent discoveries, but had to have come from the same patient."

"But Gallo had published an article in Science Magazine in the spring of 1985 claiming that his new virus had been, quote, isolated from a total of 48 subjects, unquote. Under later examination by John Crewdson of the Chicago Tribune, no trace of those 48 isolates could be found."

Last but certainly not least:

"...Dr. Gallo had failed to disclose to the Patent Office that scientists at the Pasteur Institute of Paris had already performed, quote, extensive work, unquote, with the AIDS virus and had used it to make an HIV blood test of their own and submitted a patent application four months before Gallo's. Despite a legal obligation to disclose all information material to the claim of inventorship of the blood test, the report says that Gallo failed to inform the Patent Office of his use of the French virus in the preparation of his own blood test."

Those are just samples. Gallo's entire professional history has been riddled with all kinds of fraud, incompetence, and bullying. It's documented and proven. This seems to be the kind of person who the AIDS establishment believes. The lack of scientific merit of the "discovery" of "HIV" is also quite evident in this chapter.
 
This is quite a bit more detailed, showing that Gallo has a long-established pattern of this kind of behavior. Did you read the article?
 
Nah.
Only what you pasted here.
Frankly, I'm bored to death with the whole thing.
It's already been clearly shown that Gallo is an unethical asshole (i.e. he stole his research from the French), but that doesn't relate to the veracity of aids research in general.
 
Look through the telescope. I don't understand why you continue to post opinions on this subject that you admit are uninformed.

Gallo's ethics relate very much to the veracity of subsequent AIDS research because AIDS research depends on the parameters that he defined for determining if an HIV infection exists.

Gallo stole his research from the French.
Therefore the subsequent aids research rests on the foundation of the French research. Not Gallo's.

Gallo did make some interesting findings based on the French research though. So he can't be entirely discounted despite his ethical problems.

As I said, it's been made clear that Gallo stole his research from the French.
 
Read the article. Gallo has a history of falsifying data and even getting caught at it. This is very relevant.

Scientific fraud is a case of scientific ethics and social responsibility. Hence this thread is moved to the appropriate subforum: Science & Society.

Happy posting on this interesting topic!!!
