  19.   Would it be too bold to suggest that the "establishment's" failure
  20. to "cure this disease" has instead been a product of BIOLOGY?  There
  21. are no true "cures" for ANY viral disease, and therefore one might
  22. suggest that basic science, not political infighting, is needed to
  23. cure AIDS.
