Water Conference 2022

Dear water people,

It’s with great sadness that we communicate the passing of Luc Montagnier, on February 8, 2022. Luc was just shy of 90 years old.

In 2008, he shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his identification of HIV.

Probably you know him less as a virologist and more for his recent work, presented multiple times at our Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water, where he had been a consistent presenter. Conferees looked forward each year to his opening presentations. We were consistently awestruck by his demonstrations that information from DNA could be transmitted to water in the absence of any chemical communication. This finding may have earned him reflexive condemnation from much of the scientific establishment, but unending praise came from those of us who could appreciate the far-reaching impact of his findings.

Many of us saw Luc as a beacon of light shining on a world filled with increasing darkness. He saw incipient truth, and sought to illumine that truth with floods of bright light. He followed that passion for water and information for several decades, expanding in later years into concerns with the overreach of governments in the area of vaccine mandates. Whether his pursuits were popular or unpopular, Luc always relentlessly sought out, and fought for, what he saw as truth. His passion was insatiable.

From a personal point of view, those of us who had to honor to interact with Luc on a continuing basis understood that he was a man concerned with the welfare of humanity, not only on a global scale but also on a personal scale. He was there to help when we needed him. He was a man of deep humanity. It was indeed an honor to know him.

Luc Montagnier was a leading scientist and a treasured human being. We shall miss him greatly.
