...That's exactly what anti-HIV drugs, known as antiretrovirals (ARVs), are designed to do: interrupt the virus at various points along its nefarious journey. The FDA has approved four different classes of ARVs, each of which blocks a separate step in HIV's life cycle. The strategy is to build up a security detail of pharmacological agents that together thwart the virus at every turn, making sure that every receptor, protein and enzyme that the virus co-opts to sneak into a cell is covered...

The results were enough to convince Pfizer to apply for approval to the Food and Drug Administration, which will begin its review next month.

Yet, both Weiss and Finkelstein play on their Jewish backgrounds to draw attention to their fringe opinions. By doing so, they become, in effect, traveling sideshows, "iconoclastic" anti-Jewish Jews, of interest only to groups seeking to delegitimize Israel...
