From Jerry Coyne:

Well, if Chopra ever had any scientific credibility, it’s now in shreds. Listen to the part of this video (laughably labeled “Two great minds question HIV/AIDS—Scam/Hoax?”) that starts at 22:15. Chopra is interviewed by Tony Robbins, wealthy lifestyle guru and “self help” author. Here’s a bit of the interchange:

Chopra: HIV may be a precipitating agent in a susceptible host. The material agent is never the cause of the disease. It may be the final factor in inducing the full-blown syndrome in somebody who’s already susceptible.

Robbins: But what made them susceptible?

Chopra: Their own interpretations of the whole reality they’re participating in.

Robbins: Could that be translated into their thoughts, their feelings, their beliefs, their lifestyle?

Chopra: Absolutely. . .

It goes on and gets worse as Chopra discusses what he calls “so-called AIDS”

In other words, "it's their own fault they got the AIDS".

Jesus fucking christ, I thought AIDS denialism lost it's spark a decade ago.

Well if anyone can revive it, it would be Dipshit Chopra.

Thank bob for the internet. Now he's said it, and it can't be unsaid or wiggled out of.

This is Chopra's "capsizing Guam" moment, the days of sword-fighting the fart are over.

He deserves kicks on his back side for next 50 yrs every day, just light ones with selfies every time with his butt in the view.
He has been abusing Indian philosophies for far too long that I had to cringe every time he opened his mouth on the subject. He makes it look bad, even the issues of meditation, he is a total screw up!. I could have done a better job on all those, but this Indian guy marketed himself and sold bull shit, his own fart and belief system tied to them. Which Indian philosophy says we are creating them?.At best its pantheism, at worst the world is not real. Fucked up, but the truly fucked up thing is that he gets called here to sometimes to talk. He is a professional con man who should be spanked!

I hope he gets AIDS.

Perhaps he'd be willing to put his money where his mouth is, by injecting himself with HIV and then "interpreting" it away?

I had to look up "capsizing Guam". I'm so glad I did. That really was an award winning brand of imbecility.

Chopra's wankery is truly a "capsizing Guam" moment.

Deep packed Chopped rat once again demonstrates his utter lack of understanding of anything remotely scientific. The man is a complete bell end.

Can I reinterpret reality so that Chopra goes away?

If I were to punch Deepak Chopra in the face and it went to court; could I claim in my defence that his broken nose was not caused by my fist, but by his own interpretation of reality?

That military guy is one hell of a straight man.

It's really a wonder there's been no military coup, given the fuckwittery of the elected representatives they're forced to serve.

That interview has made my morning.

But before we start writing the obituary for Deepak's career, we should remember this: Hank Johnson was re-elected.

Alright, I give up. How does one fight stupid of this magnitude?

His kids, Randi Johnson and Alex Johnson, are the same.

Their kids will be the same.

There is no fixing it, with our current technology.

Deepak, I don't see as being so much stupid, as an inveterate wiggle-bullshitter - and his son has turned his own verbally pugilistic bent towards fighting with his own dad, even making a documentary exposing him. David Icke's son might do something similar, when he gets old enough.
