*Update* Here’s a lot more from Koehnlein:
The rest of Koehnlein’s 2009 presentation is here and here and finally, here.
One of the things I notice is that, consistently, people like Koehnlein are painted as nutjobs, cranks, pseudoscientists, or, occasionally, just plain evil. Yet when you read what they say and listen to them, they have pretty much none of the markers of being such people. That’s usually a red flag for me that there’s something very wrong going on. When your scientific opponents can’t just be wrong in your eyes, but have to be evil or deranged, what does that say?

I did a google search on that terminology and found only DeansWorld uses it.
It took me two seconds in Google to find otherwise. You weren’t trying very hard. (Or, trying hard not to?)

How about some direct quotes from Mark A. Wainberg, Ph.D. Director of the McGill University AIDS Centre and Professor of Medicine and of Microbiology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
MARK WAINBERG: As far as I’m concerned, and I hope this view is adequately represented, those who attempt to dispel the notion that HIV is the cause of AIDS are perpetrators of death. And I would very much for one like to see the Constitution of the United States and similar countries have some means in place that we can charge people who are responsible for endangering public health with charges of endangerment and bring them up on trial. I think that people like Peter Duesberg belong in jail.
MARK WAINBERG: Someone who would perpetrate the notion that HIV is not the cause of AIDS is perhaps motivated by sentiments 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. And, who knows, maybe there’s 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 Duesberg is probably the closest thing we have in this world to a scientific psychopath.

Without more data input, I cannot comment. But he sounds reasonable. If he believes in not using cytotoxic medications, I think its good. Passing out beetroot juice, vitamins and the padian study is not in my view valid treatment but that is another subject.
Fair enough, McK.
