This woman Becky McClain is mentioned in the first article. I'm just
now reading about her now, but I can't tell if this woman just didn't

you should understand the risks you're accepting.
At 12:30 here she says HIV has DNA inside the protein coat... that
could be an easy slip-up, but a little sloppy I guess:
