John Maddox could have singlehandedly sunk most of Robert Gallo's claims regarding his work in 1982/1983, had Maddox published in Nature the interview he had with Gallo on September 19, 1986.
But John Maddox choose not to publish the interview, later stating that:
I think that it literally is impossible to tell who's right and who's wrong.That is John Maddox, standing up for science.
And from the "can't make this shit up" department:
The tapes of the Maddox/Gallo interview, that were kindly provided to John Crewdson, contained "a gap of several minutes during which the conversation is obliterated by music".

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
