Wikipedia says he still has a lab, and that the Gates Foundation handed him $15M last year. It also has two broken links to a "Lab_Rat_color.pdf" on this very site (refs 3 and 11) but none to the virusmyth site. The article linked is on an HIV denialist site, apparently not updated since 2002. Did they decide in 2002 that the HIV-AIDS link is OK? I didn’t know this about Gallo.

Scott, Gallo repeatedly claimed -- before yesterday -- that he had been cheated out of two Nobel Prizes. Yesterday surely makes three. Thanks, Jeremy.
