Moreover, the 'conventional' rules for retrovirus isolation laid down at a conference at the Pasteur Institute in 1974 were flagrantly ignored by the scientific team working at the very same institute in 1983, who claimed to have found a retrovirus in the tissues a homosexual man suffering from lymphadonopathy merely by finding what they claimed to be reversetranscriptase activity and other dubious surrogate markers. However, when subsequently challenged, Luc Montagnier, the leader of the team, admitted that they did not find or isolate any viral particles, and despite heroic laboratory efforts - described by Montagnier, as "Roman efforts" – no 'HIV' was found.

The Luc Montagnier that entered the discussion now?

Man, this is a very loooooong game they have been playing.

Same actors everywhere
