Description | The content is a book review of "Virus Hunting" by Robert Gallo, who claims that HIV is the cause of AIDS. The review criticizes Gallo's use of undocumented quotes and pseudoscientific debates to support his claims, as well as his lack of credit to independent competitors or opponents. The review questions why there is so much faith in virus hunters, despite their lack of clinically productive hypotheses since the polio epidemic in the 1950s. The review also highlights Gallo's poor proofreading and use of scientific jargon to bluff outsiders and engage insiders. Ultimately, the review argues that Gallo's efforts to prove HIV as the cause of AIDS lack logical evidence and rely too heavily on psychological drama.
