Original Note:
Kary Mullis (1944–2019) won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1993 for his part in developing polymerase chain reaction (PCR), not "the PCR test". He was an AIDS denialist. Unlike Anthony Fauci, he had no medical training or expertise. https://www.nature.com/articles/nm0605-581b https://skepticalinquirer.org/2020/05/the-nobel-disease-when-intelligence-fails-to-protect-against-irrationality/ https://archive.ph/AZk0h https://skepticalinquirer.org/2020/05/the-nobel-disease-when-intelligence-fails-to-protect-against-irrationality/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/jg543y/joe-rogan-and-bret-weinstein-promote-aids-denialism-to-an-audience-of-millions
