Will Montreal scientist ever live down dark rant on camera?

[Can you believe this is the same Mark Wainberg, Md, PhD, who is currently chairman
of the committee organizing the International AIDS Conference, to be held in Toronto, August, 2006?
Wainberg was given the Order of Canada and Order of Quebec. A certain lawyer lost his Order of  Canada because he was convicted for cheating NHL hockey players and a Canadian First Nations' Chief lost his Order of Canada for making outrageous racist comments about Jews and Israel.  Wainberg still has his Order of Canada even though he has publicly stated he would take away one's right to disagree with his HIV/AIDS dogma, treat them as criminals  and put them in jail.  

Why has the print and electronic media not challenged this man for such a clearly Nazi - Stalinist authoritarian attitude which has no place in a scientific debate? Absolutely and totally incredible! - CW]



Mark A. Wainberg (born April 21, 1945) is a Canadian scientist and AIDS researcher. He is the Director of the McGill University AIDS Centre and Professor of Medicine and of Microbiology at McGill University.

His most notable achievements is his initial identification of the antiviral capabilities of 3TC in 1989.
He received a B.Sc. from McGill University in 1966 and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1972.
>From 1998 to 2000, he was President of the International AIDS Society.
In 2001, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
In 2005, he was awareded the Order of Quebec.



There is nothing more revealing on the intellectual level than the attempts by those scientists and officials riding high on the HIV?AIDS paradigm to bomb, strafe and otherwise dispense with their challengers by force and violence, blocking them from the public stage instead of engaging them in reasoned debate.

When one side is for free debate and the other runs away from it or tries to hang those advocating discussion without giving them a chance to speak, the implication is obvious, assuming the two sides are of roughly equal high standing.

An enlightened post to this effect appeared a week ago on Classically Liberal, and drew attention to one of the most amazing scenes in the history of film documentaries, the appalling behavior of Mark Wainberg, the AIDS researcher in Montreal when faced with the camera of Robin Scovill in the illuminating documentary "The Other Side of AIDS".

The blogger, CLS, does an excellent job of describing this ugly scene, which in a few minutes reveals the black heart of HIV?AIDS scientific propaganda incarnated in the hideously twisted features of this foolish scientist, who after discovering that the film maker had reserved judgment on whether HIV likely caused AIDS or not, stood up and threw away his microphone declaring that the interview was over.

This uncivil gesture followed a rant in which Wainberg declared that Peter Duesberg, the self-sacrificial Berkeley scientist who has continually alerted the world in vain over twenty years that the principles and evidence of good, peer reviewed science reject HIV as the cause of anything at all, deserved indictment as a criminal who "belonged in jail":

Someone who would perpetrate the notion that HIV is not the cause of AIDS is perhaps motivated by sentiment of pure evil. That such a person may perhaps really want millions of people in Africa, and elsewhere, to become infected by this virus and go on to die of it. Who knows maybe there is a hidden agenda behind the thoughts of a madman, maybe all psychopaths everywhere have ways of getting their views across that are sometimes camouflaged in subterfuge but I suggest to you that Peter Deusberg is probably the closest thing we have in this world to a scientific psychopath.

In this scene Mark Wainberg appears, as blogger CLS says, "seriously unhinged and perhaps unfit to deal with students." There is no doubt that it is one of the most discreditable public performances ever achieved by a previously respected scientist.
A clip of the scene is viewable at the site of the film, The Other Side of AIDS, which is an excellent introduction to the conflicting claims in the field. A patient interviewer, Robin Scovill is the husband of Christine Maggiore, a woman who decisively rejected the theory of HIV when she tested positive years ago and wrote a very good book on the subject. He expertly exposes the hollowness of the justifications offered for HIV as the cause of AIDS by questioning its proponents at length, so that they are forced to admit the weaknesses in their position, and often end up looking plain silly, if not utterly self-condemned as the nasty but pitiable Mark Wainberg now does forever.

The Other Side of AIDS is a study in revealing behavior. It is highly recommended for all newcomers to this issue of spurious authority in HIV?AID. This one $20 DVD tells newcomers such as CLS more in an hour and a half about who is likely to be right on the science of HIV?AIDS than most books. Human behavior seen in action is prima facie evidence of a powerful kind.
