If Duesberg's argument is that HIV can't cause AIDS because he doesn't see how a retrovirus could "mysteriously" become toxic to humans, maybe he didn't consider genetic engineering, similarly to the way SARS-CoV-2 was probably engineered (also in Montagnier's opinion). I have also heard that some people doubt the very existence of the coronavirus because it has not been "isolated." If you run across RFK's discussion of that I'd be interested. However, RFK is not a virologist, any more than I am, and however many footnotes he has, he is still listening to only one side, and I am quite certain an equally industrious scholar (not me!) could come up with just as many footnotes and studies to counter his arguments. I don't mean his attacks on Fauci. Fauci is obviously up to his eyeballs re the creating of the virus -- which to me is the most important point.

Kennedy himself states that he believes HIV is the cause of AIDS. He's just presenting Duesberg's work as evidence of the power Fauci has to totally shut down scientific debate. I'm aware of the theory that HIV was genetically engineered, but after reviewing Duesberg's original papers, I don't believe scientists had the technological capacity in the 1970s to genetically engineer retroviruses to turn them into attack viruses. The most common way to test for HIV is to measure antibodies against it - and a really high level of antibodies would indicate that body is fighting off HIV effectively (and that some other agent is responsible for the symptoms). It's clear Kennedy had a lot of high level input from virologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, etc (Dr Robert Malone especially) he lists in his acknowledgements section. Dr Malone (and I) believe that coronaviruses exist because they are the main cause of the common cold. Different coronaviruses are identified via genetic sequencing, which is how the Omicron, Delta, Alpha, etc. variants are detected.

Malone is the inventor of the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine.
