@augustus HIV mutates so rapidly that a vaccine's not really a possibility, don't think; remembering an estimate at like 1 mutation every 250 bases, and the whole genome is like 10 kilobases?, so like ~40 every time it reproduces

>Montagnier argued that the Coronavirus disease 2019 was man-made in a laboratory and that it might have been the result of an attempt to create a vaccine for HIV/AIDS. His allegation came after the United States had launched a probe into whether the virus came from a laboratory. According to Montagnier, the "presence of elements of HIV and germ of malaria in the genome of coronavirus is highly suspect and the characteristics of the virus could not have arisen naturally."[45] However this was described as "a conspiracy vision that does not relate to the real science" by Jean-Francois Delfraissy, an immunologist and head of the scientific council that advises the French government on the COVID-19 pandemic.[46] An article in the magazine The Wire explained how scientists refuted his claim.[47] guy who discovered HIV and the guy who won the Nobel prize for inventing PCR are now considered anti-science conspiracy theorists. it couldn't be more obvious that power simply uses science as a vehicle through which to launder some degree of objective legitimacy
