Original Note:
Video includes false and misleading claims. Kary Mullis was a known HIV/AIDS denialist. In this video he was speaking at an AIDS conference in 1997 and denied HIV causes AIDS. The HIV virus does exist and it does cause AIDS. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4172096/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20HIV%2FAIDS%20hypothesis%20is,when%20the%20hypothesis%20was%20proposed. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/01/06/fact-check-abundant-scientific-research-shows-hiv-causes-aids-kary-mullis-aids-denialism-conspiracy/10991064002/ https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/technology-history/man-who-photocopied-dna-and-also-saw-talking-fluorescent-raccoon
