In 2009, Montagnier published two controversial papers claiming that DNA can send “electromagnetic imprints” of itself into distant cells and fluids.

Montagnier’s claims are consistent with those made by that illustrious group of shysters and woomeisters, homeopaths. As the saying goes, extraordinary claims must be supported by extraordinary evidence and, as evidence goes, Montagnier’s is extraordinarily bad.
