It's a hit piece. It's literally "now that he's dead, lets talk about what annoying shit he was..."

the comments are great:

If you want to discredit Mullis wouldn’t it be more effective to simply name the study upon which Gallo based his assertion that HIV is the cause of AIDS? Tell us the publication, date & author.

A grubby hit-piece on a man now dead who cannot defend himself.

Labeling someone a denialist is nothing short of a personal attack. If I wanted to be insulting, I’d call Coby McDonald a two bit media hack, but I’m so much better than that, believe me… And perhaps Coby could follow up and prove his point by addressing the mysterious paper by Robert Gallo no one can seem to find that proved beyond a reasonable doubt HIV is the cause of AIDS. Take your time. What’s another week compared to the over three decades of absentia.
