M. Montagnier's statement that COVID-19 was "Deliberately" created in the Wuhan Lab, that made him a purveyor of a conspiracy theory...the point made by others in the Wiki page I posted...and one that I personally concur with.
Here's hoping we can maintain enough cooperation with China to get to the truth of how the pathogen came to be...meanwhile, I fully support all efforts to learn that truth...we need to understand this to be better prepared for the future...btw, Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration are pushing for this...but...China is the roadblock.
Back to the fundamentals of this thread...Luc Montagnier's criticism and characterization of Dr. Fauci is IMO based on a personal vendetta against him...and the product of a scientific mind gone awry.
