An interesting pattern in the first two Nobelists you label as being
crackpots:

LUC MONTAGIER:
Won Nobel for discovering HIV

Supposed heresy:
“Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from
FAUCI and his minions.”

In the San Francisco International AIDS Conference of June 1990,
Montagnier had publicly declared “the HIV virus is harmless and passive,
a benign virus.”

KARY MULLIS:
Won Nobel for discovering RT-PCR.

Supposed heresy:

Skepticism regarding FAUCI's claims that HIV causes AIDS.

I think that instead of just blindly following the MSM and labeling
these Nobelists as crackpots, it is better to pay careful attention to
their views. These guys are unconventional thinkers and being
financially independent are in a position to "speak truth to power" to
"say it like it really is", not being subject to Upton Sinclair's rule:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary
depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair.

So, let's stop parroting the MSM, and encourage people to take a hard
relook at FAUCI's career and this whole HIV causes AIDS multi-billion
dollar industry.
