The clinical symptoms of African AIDS are high fever, a persistent cough, loose stools for thirty days, and a 10 percent loss of body weight over a two-month period. By that definition, a large percentage of Western tourists have AIDS while in Africa. The simple cure is to get on a plane back to New York, where no doctor would dream of bestowing an AIDS diagnosis based on that symptomology alone.
AIDS is a political disease here: we should be very skeptical.”
Former epidemiological director of WHO, Professor James Chin, in his 2006 book, The AIDS Pandemic: The Collision of Epidemiology and Political Correctness, admits unambiguously that the AIDS case figures for developing countries were massively manipulated in order to maintain the flow of billions of dollars.
“The African epidemic looks suspiciously nothing like the American and European epidemic, and closer inspection reveals it likely that this African epidemic is pure fabrication.”
WHO maintains twelve different descriptions of AIDS, depending on national boundaries.
And with that definition, there have been 182,000 Americans who are not ill diagnosed with AIDS, who would not have AIDS if they moved to Canada. Because in Canada, they don’t recognize that T-cell definition as a criteria for having an AIDS diagnosis.
Rather than allowing his HIV hypothesis to triumph in the marketplace of ideas, Dr. Fauci sent clear signals to the American press that debate on this theory could no longer be tolerated.
reliance on blood tests alone was likely to yield highly dubious results capable of dramatically overstating the spread of HIV.57
The researcher got his financing, and Dr. Fauci and the pharmaceutical company got proprietary rights on new discoveries. The self-interest of the researcher, the research institution, and the biotech company converged.
Usually, regulators measure a vaccine’s success by its ability to produce robust and durable antibodies. Now, for the first time in history, Dr. Fauci and Bob Gallo were asking the world to believe that antibodies were a sign of active, deadly disease. This begs the question, “What is the HIV vaccine supposed to do?”
the four criteria are: (1) The microorganism must be found in diseased but not healthy individuals; (2) The microorganism must be cultured from the diseased individual; (3) Inoculation of a healthy individual with the cultured microorganism must recapitulate the disease; and finally (4) The microorganism must be re-isolated from the inoculated, diseased individual and matched to the original microorganism.
he found HIV virus in fewer than half of the ailing AIDS patients
every one of the thirty discrete illnesses we now call AIDS occurs also in persons uninfected by HIV.
AIDS commonly occurs in people who test HIV negative. If HIV is truly the only cause of AIDS, this should not be possible.
Many physicians caring for AIDS patients were furious that the government agency had not informed them about the non-HIV AIDS cases. Curran confessed that the CDC had known about these cases for years.
Today, even Dr. Fauci’s most loyal clergymen acknowledge that there are over 165,000 Americans and millions of individuals globally who carry the HIV virus without ill effect.
Instead of civilly debating these dissidents and writers and common-sense questions posed by Duesberg and other critics, Dr. Fauci’s strategy has been to exercise his frightening capacity to silence dissent
History may credit him as the progenitor—even the inventor—of cancel culture.
These journals rely on the pharmaceutical industry for upward of 90 percent of their revenues and seldom publish studies that threaten the Pharma paradigm.
“The journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.”
Control of peer-reviewed publishing is a vital ingredient for constructing orthodoxies.
One of the most important statements of the book.
“I would prefer to be honest even against my own interests.”
A virologist who convincingly linked a “new” virus to an existing cancer or disease could enjoy relevance, rich financial remuneration, and professional glory.
“We all have tens of thousands of retroviruses in our germline and yet none of them has ever been demonstrated to be pathogenic.”
Most research scientists now—quietly—assume that AIDS must have a multifactorial etiology.
based upon appeals to authority—a feature of religion, not of democracy or science.
Not quite that simple.
But the AIDS cartel never attempted a reply. Instead, Dr. Fauci met this existential assault by simply ignoring it and by castigating anyone who credited it.
Very similar to the origins debate. Anyone questioning evolution must be silenced.
Dr. Fauci had a strong stake in the controversy. Blaming AIDS on a virus was the gambit that allowed NIAID to claim the jurisdiction—and cash flow—away from NCI.
college of cardinals,
Indeed scientists are flawed humans like us all and can easily have the same ideological biases as religion. It's not science vs religion but truth vs falsehood .
Prior to 1987, NIH had never rejected a single one of Peter Duesberg’s proposals. After 1987, Duesberg wrote over thirty research proposals; NIH refused every one.
He’s so far gone that he has actually come out and said he is science.”
Most of us have lost at least one family member to cancer, and none to AIDS.
In a 2009 documentary, Duesberg is somewhat empathetic, if not sympathetic, toward his detractors: “They are prostitutes, most of them, my colleagues–and to some degree, myself. You have to be a prostitute to get money for your research. You’re trained a little bit to be a prostitute.” He smiles and adds, “But some go all the way.”
gives him the ability to shut down all debate. When National Public Radio attempted to stage a conversation between Duesberg and a supporter of the HIV hypothesis, it could find no one willing to confront him.
“Participating in any public forum with the likes of Bialy would give him a credibility that he does not merit.
“Years from now, people looking back at us will find our acceptance of the HIV theory of AIDS as silly as we find the leaders who excommunicated Galileo,
the presumption that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS is the central presumption of a multibillion-dollar industry. Everyone agrees that at least part of the explanation for its stupefying resilience is Dr. Fauci’s relentless flow of cash.
“Science costs money and he who dispenses the money can control the science.”
there are tremendous financial and social interests involved. Billions of dollars in research funding, stock options, and activist budgets are predicated on the assumption that HIV causes AIDS. Entire industries of pharmaceutical drugs, diagnostic testing, and activist causes would have no reason to exist.”
How can AIDS be so evidently new, when viruses and homosexuality are as old as history?70 Recreational drugs, according to Durack, should be considered as causes: “They are widely used in the large cities where most of these cases have occurred.
substance abuse was so universal among AIDS patients that drug use, and not Dr. Fauci’s virus, must be considered the primary cause of AIDS.
“Everybody who got diseases seemed to snort poppers,”
Tony Fauci played traffic cop in this feedback loop. On the one hand, he was using his regulatory authority to promote AZT, and to kill its competition, effectively orchestrating Burroughs Wellcome’s monopoly control over AIDS treatment. At the same time, he was suppressing the study of the toxicity of poppers and directing the blame for AIDS on the virus, thereby shielding Burroughs Wellcome from significant liability.
“Chemotherapy,” says Duesberg, “is restricted to a few months. The hope is that the cancer dies before you die.”
Historically, there are many examples of prescribed medicines causing worse injuries than their target disease.
AZT killed tens of thousands of Americans between 1986 and 1996 before less toxic chemotherapy drugs were introduced, causing far more fatalities
the medical establishment is too rigid to change the direction of basic research and/or clinical trials.”
“We virtually killed a whole generation of AIDS patients without even noticing it because the symptoms of the AZT intoxication were almost indistinguishable from AIDS,”
We gave 1500 mg on a daily basis and that literally killed everybody that took this treatment. That is the reason why everybody believes that HIV is a deadly virus but there is still no proof of this assumption.”
He choked off any further funding for HHV6 research, despite Knox’s potentially lifesaving discovery of the efficacy of acyclovir against AIDS.
