    The problem arises when people confuse that for the notion that making enemies is somehow inherently virtuous.

    I speculate tactics that his "friends" at work used form their politburo against him.
    “When you take a position that is at odds with the scientific clerisy, your life becomes a living hell,” he said at the conference.
    “You face a deeply hostile work environment.”
    He received death threats, hate mail and questions on where he receives funding,
    which he noted, “most of my money has come from the NIH for most of my life.”
    “The policy of the university, when push comes to shove, is to permit this kind of hostile work environment,” he said. “What if there had been open scientific debate on campus, sponsored by the university on this? So that people could know there were legitimate alternate views?”
