I think GP was referring to Montagnier's support of the water memory theory (a fraudulent theory made up to support homeopathy), rather than his comments on covid 19.
- anitil 5y agoOh woops I'll admit I didn't read that far down the wikipedia entry.
- selcuka 5y agoExactly [1]: > In January 2009, Luc Montagnier, the Nobel Laureate virologist who led the team that discovered the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), claimed (in a paper published in a journal that he set up, which seems to have avoided conventional peer review as it was accepted three days after submission) that the DNA of pathogenic bacteria and viruses massively diluted in water emit radio waves that he can detect.

- vkou 5y agoThis makes me wonder if that team discovered HIV despite his contributions, not because of them.
- wruza 5y agoOr it is uncorrelated. I personally met a successful local technical innovation guy who believed in perpetual motion / free energy devices and told me stories about their “presentations”.
- selcuka 5y agoHighly likely. Very smart people can believe in very weird stuff without seeing any proof.

Looks like he'd gone that route well before any of the COVID-19 stuff.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoHo, M. W. (2014). Large supramolecular water clusters caught on camera-A review. Water, 6, 1-12. Here they show pictures supposedly in support of water structure. Quite a bit of work in the area.
- shrikant 5y agoThe paper by this author? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae-Wan_Ho#Institute_of_Science_in_Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae-Wan_Ho#Institute_of_Scienc... Not the most ringing endorsement.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoYes. That’s why the pictures and article are worth checking out. Anything having to do with “water structure” rankles scientists. But see for yourself.
