To an extent that undermines classical standards of science, some purported scientific results concerning 'HIV' and 'AIDS' have been handled by press releases, by disinformation, by low-quality studies, and by some suppression of information, manipulating the media and people at large. When the official scientific press does not report correctly, or obstructs views dissenting from those of the scientific establishment, it loses credibility and leaves no alternative but to find information elsewhere.

Originally, in the early eighties, the drug hypothesis was among the first which occurred to scientists.

Axiomatization is what one does last, it's rubbish. It's the hygiene of mathematics, axiomatization.

What standards are upheld by the scientific community affect the community internally, and also affect its relations with society at large, including Congress.

The only goal of science is the honour of the human spirit, and a question in number theory is worth a question concerning the system of the world.

The problems of financing the universities and their intellectual freedom, threatened by political and bureaucratic interference, are problems which are invariant under the ism transformations: socialism, communism, capitalism, or any other ism or ology.

To address questions of scientific responsibility does not necessarily imply that one needs technical competence in a particular field (e.g. biology) to evaluate certain technical matters.

They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community.

There exist thousands of Americans who have AIDS-defining diseases but are HIV negative.

Questions have arisen about the policing of science. Who is responsible for the policing? My answer is: all of us.
