I'm not sure if this is the quote you're looking for but I found this:

 

“Kary Mullis… is thoroughly convinced that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. With regard to the viral-load tests, which attempt to use PCR for counting viruses, Mullis has stated: ‘Quantitative PCR is an oxymoron.’ PCR is intended to identify substances qualitatively, but by its very nature is unsuited for estimating numbers. Although there is a common misimpression that the viral-load tests actually count the number of viruses in the blood, these tests cannot detect free, infectious viruses at all; they can only detect proteins that are believed, in some cases wrongly, to be unique to HIV. The tests can detect genetic sequences of viruses, but not viruses themselves.”

 

The key part being "quantitative PCR is an oxymoron" i.e it can not measure how much of a virus is present in a patients body.

 

I've seen that quote in several places, all alternative media sites.  Is anybody aware of an "official" source for that statement?  I've searched and have been unable to find one.  Before showing this quote to sheep-friends I'd like to have a source they would consider "credible".

 

Thanks in advance.
