“Unacceptable, intolerable, appalling”: indignant at the reactions to the death of Professor Montagnier, between “deafening silence” on the part of the authorities, whom he considers very far from having been up to the task, and deplorable denigration from certain media, Dr Gérard Guillaume, one of his relatives, wanted to do justice on our set to the Nobel Prize in Medicine who disappeared a week ago.
He recounts their meeting and his admiration for the “innovative therapeutic approaches” that Luc Montagnier had undertaken for neurodegenerative diseases. On the controversial aspect of his research, he is convinced that “history will eventually prove him right”. The extent of his work on AIDS, he recalls, allowed “a major advance”, “we must not forget it”. A “brilliant, extraordinary spirit”, recalls Gérard Guillaume, who recalls that, although physically diminished in recent years, the biologist was in full possession of his faculties and remained “an adventurer of the mind and of science”.
Admitting that he had been able to get lost in the “crossroads” that he explored as a “discoverer”, our guest who recalls that he “had a North” to which he returned. Gérard Guillaume thus notes with amazement that in certain media, “he was made to say things he never said”, and that a researcher of his level is branded with the supposedly infamous qualifier of “antivax” the makes you jump: “Montagnier was never an antivax, his fight was the safety of vaccines”.

Doctor Guillaume finally returns to the announcement of his death, the relationship he had with his family, who wanted discretion, and whose wishes he respected. Not unhappy to thumb his nose at certain media who had “dragged him through the mud”, and who continued after his death, he regrets.
It is therefore to the “Challenge of Truth” that Gérard Guillaume chose to say his own, to restore that of Professor Montagnier, and to pay a moving tribute to a man who embodied a “hope” for many people, a ” innovative, original spirit”; in short, he concludes, “an exceptional being”.
