Growing Evidence HIV Not The Cause Of AIDS

Key points
- The last ten years of AIDS research has spent $22 billion and produced no cure, no hope and no proof that HIV causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
- "The HIV causes AIDS dogma (is) the most morally destructive fraud that has ever been perpe- trated on young men and women of the Western world," according to Dr.
- Duesberg who first threw down the gauntlet in 1987 to challenge the huge and growing industry around the "HIV causes AIDS" theory when he published a paper in the Journal of Cancer Research.
- Yet his arguments based on statistics and verifiable data have never been refuted.
The last ten years of AIDS research has spent $22 billion and produced no cure, no hope and no proof that HIV causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Prevention efforts have focused on teaching five year olds about con- doms and frightening the world about sex, homosexuals and a chi- merical demon called HIV, a retro- virus for which no accurate test exists.
Dr. Peter Duesberg, an expert in retroviruses at U.S. Berkeley, is the most famous of the heretics who have charged that HIV does not cause AIDS, but he is far from alone. Over 450 scientists, doctors, researchers and patients signed a letter last summer demanding that the entire thrust of AIDS research be reconsidered, that the increasing evidence discrediting the HIV hypothesis be published and that science, not dogma be the criterion for funding AIDS research.
The Most Destructive Fraud Ever Perpetrated
"The HIV causes AIDS dogma (is) the most morally destructive fraud that has ever been perpe- trated on young men and women of the Western world," according to Dr. Charles Thomas, a former Harvard professor of biochemistry and a signer of the letter which sent shock waves through the AIDS bureaucracy. "It is a hoax which became a scam, "according to Dr. Bernard Forscher, former editor of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, "It ranks with the 'bad air' theory for malaria and the 'bacterial infection' theory for beriberi and pellagra (B vitamin deficiencies)."
No Chimps Have AIDS
It was Dr. Duesberg who first threw down the gauntlet in 1987 to challenge the huge and growing industry around the "HIV causes AIDS" theory when he published a paper in the Journal of Cancer Research. He pointed out that HIV does not destroy immune system T cells in laboratory petri dishes even at thousands of times the concentration found in humans, that none of the 150 chimpanzees injected with HIV have AIDS, the growing number of HIV negative AIDS cases (now over 4,000 documen- ted), that only two perc ent of HIV positive hemophiliacs have AIDS symptoms, the same percentage as HIV negative hemophiliacs, that AZT (at that time the most expensive and only drug approved for HIV infections) was a known toxin with documented side effects which were attributed to AIDS, and that nearly every AIDS patient was known to be a frequent user of hard drugs.
For his efforts, he was ridiculed, slandered, stripped of his grant funding and generally ignored by the media which pounced on the sex equals death headlines.
Discos And Death
Yet his arguments based on statistics and verifiable data have never been refuted. He claims that nearly all people who die of the grab bag of diseases placed under the AIDS diagnosis umbrella have been users of heroin, cocaine, AZT (developed for cancer chemo- therapy but abandoned as too toxic), and amyl and butyl nitrates ("poppers" widely used by many homosexuals as an aphrodisiac in the disco days). Alcohol and tobacco use also significantly de- crease the lifespan of people with AIDS as does AZT.
