SHOW me the data: Biologist Barry A. Palevitz and geneticist and autho r Ricki Lewis compare the case of Stanley Prusiner, whose controversia l prion theory recently earned him the Nobel Prize, with that of Peter Duesberg, whose equally controversial hypothesis that HIV does not ca use AIDS has not gained acceptance within the scientific community.
