luc montagnier has a long list of insane public claims for the past decades (things about "water memory" comes to my mind , but there are others).

He lost credit a long time ago, way before covid, so i would be really cautious about citing anything he has to say about the virus.

After further research...I am inclined to agree with you. I just found he also claimed 5G was helping spread Covid.

This phenomenon keep happening with old Nobel laureates. Linus Pauling for instance...

For any public binary question with weak information, you'll find crazy people arguing both sides.
