About the late Montagnier

-Britanica is encyclopedic appropriate concise factual and nonjudgmental.
-The primary source can be read by you and me but needs to be analyzed by qualified scientists and is not encyclopedic. Its just something for a critical thinker to consider.
-Wikipedia goes on and on and on; in talk you can see that the mob reached a consensus so it can lynch and lambaste an noble laureate.

What is the societal cost of shutting down scientific discourse?
What is the societal cost of mob rule generated information?
What is the societal cost of shutting down critical thinking?
What personal damage is done condemning dissenting scientific opinion or the introduction of new information or theories?


The primary source from Luc Montagnier

Looks at Covid and actually finds genetic editing in Covid including some specific and identified elements of genetic encoding found in HIV. I remember Montagnier being removed from mainstream TV when he said that he hoped that the disease originated in a laboratory because genetic edits would not survive in the wild over time! He was never to be seen on mainstream TV Again.

Of course Wikipedia has a policy against primary source information but they have no problems with condemnation, bias, or opinion.

You would think that Scientists have/would confirm or refute his findings and then report. back. We live in a narrative heavy echo chamber that fears fact and critical thinking. This fellow is a noble laureate and his study should be considered by those with the skills to evaluate his theory and findings.

Wikipedia called Montagnier dangerous!

Luc Montagnier (US: /ˌmɒntənˈjeɪ, ˌmoʊntɑːnˈjeɪ/;[2] US: /mənˈ-/,[3] French: [mɔ̃taɲje]; 18 August 1932 – 8 February 2022) was a French virologist and joint recipient, with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Harald zur Hausen, of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).[4] He worked as a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and as a full-time professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.[5]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Montagnier promoted the conspiracy theory that SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus, was deliberately created and escaped from a laboratory. Such a claim has been rejected by other virologists.[6][7][8][9] He has been criticised by other academics for using his Nobel prize status to "spread dangerous health messages outside his field of knowledge".[10]
COVID-19 pandemic

In 2020, Montagnier argued that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, 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."[48] Montagnier's conclusions were rejected as hasty by the scientific community, considering the gene sequences are common among similar organisms.[10] There is no proven evidence indicating the novel coronavirus is a man-made virus.[8][49]

Of Course Britanica is concise, factual, and has NPOV[ - It does not speak to the news or what it cannot objectively interpret.

Luc Montagnier, (born August 18, 1932, Chabris, France—died February 8, 2022, Neuilly-sur-Seine), French research scientist who received, with Harald zur Hausen and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, the 2008 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Montagnier and Barré-Sinoussi shared half the prize for their work in identifying the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Montagnier was educated at the Universities of Poitiers and Paris, earning degrees in science (1953) and medicine (1960). He began his career as a research scientist in 1955 and joined the Pasteur Institute in Paris in 1972. In 1993 he established the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention, and he later accepted an endowed chair at Queens College, New York City, where he headed (1998–2001) the Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology. He returned to the Pasteur Institute in 2001 as professor emeritus. Montagnier also served as president of the Administrative Council of the European Federation for AIDS Research.
