Kary Mullis won a Nobel prize for inventing the PCR test we use for covid.
He died just before pandemic so his comments on Fauci cannot have any covid bias.
Carl and Geoff should take note when he says the vast majority of the people don't know who is and isn't a good scientist.
Take note of his comment on funding to get result you want which might explain why nobody bothered to comment on Conversation article by a shill for mask makers.
Mullis was certainly a worthy recipient of the Nobel Prize for his
critical improvement of the PCR test, and was also credited with several
other research breakthroughs.
Of course, that doesn't make him an unimpeachable commentator on
everything else happening in the world of science—such as his petty
criticism of Fauci—who stole the sort of limelight that Mullis always
craved.
Apparently he was a bit of a nutter at times.
He claimed that climate change theories were promulgated as a form of
racketeering by environmentalists, government agencies, and scientists
attempting to preserve their careers and earn money.
He also questioned the scientific validity of the link between HIV and
AIDS, despite never having done any scientific research on either
subject, leading some researchers to call him an AIDS denialist.
And in 1992, he founded a business to sell pieces of jewelry containing
the amplified DNA of deceased famous people such as Elvis Presley and
Marilyn Monroe. Mullis is also a believer in astrology as a determinant of
a person's character!
In 2007,
The New York Times listed Mullis as one of several scientists
who, after success in their area of research, go on to make unfounded,
sometimes bizarre statements in other areas.
The Washington Post says of Mullis; "He's a fun guy to drink with, but
you wouldn't want to bet your life on his theories".
