A funny little mouse!
In the vein of scientists believing in stupid things, Kary Mullis is a biochemist who won a nobel prize for important improvements of the PCR technique.

He doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS (shares the view of the Duisburg guy mentioned in the syfy article), is a climate change denier and believes in astrology.

Crazy how it only takes 5 doctors sucking each other’s dick and publishing peer reviewed articles to make up an entirely new disease and cure that’s referencable as gospel truth by the entire scientific and medical community. It’s like wow now there’s copdceliacsfibromyaspergers and a whole industry of deadly medicine associated with it. Back in they day they’d just give you heroin cough syrup with mercury in it and you’d be dead in 2 weeks, reckon. :clint:

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

Can we discuss the fact that Marie Curie was a terrible scientist and female role model who spent her life fighting the emerging scientific consensus on radiation poisoning despite watching her husband and everyone else in their lab slowly succumb to it?

Also that she refused to let other people study radium because she liked having the monopoly on it and wouldn't release anything that suggested it was dangerous so it was sold as a magic cure all and thousands of people died from it, but it's ok because now she's a famous science hero for discovering a cool new way to poison herself and everyone around her.

A lot like the leaded gasoline guy, tbh.

actually her husband Pierre Curie slipped one day on Paris streets and fell under a oncoming horse cart and it splattered his head. but your right about everything else.
