Montagnier declared that he now believes that HIV is “a peaceful virus” that becomes lethal only when combined with mycoplasma infertans.
They suggested that AIDS could be effectively treated and demolished with common patent-expired antibiotics instead of deadly and expensive chemotherapy concoctions.
Characteristically, the multibillion-dollar international research and development establishment opted to ignore his discovery.
“The minute someone suggests that the orthodoxy might be wrong, the establishment starts to call him crazy or a quack,”
Science has become the new church of America and is closing off all room for creative, productive dissent.”
The same for origins science.
In a rational universe, or in a functioning democracy, combatants would duke out the incendiary HIV/AIDS dispute in an open public debate in the scientific literature between the foremost establishment scientists and the best-credentialed dissenting ones. But in Tony Fauci’s authoritarian technocracy, the ruling medical cabal refuses to allow this sort of dialogue. Like Inquisition priests, HIV’s high clergy stubbornly resist the possibility that they might be wrong. From the outset, the HIV/AIDS religion has seen its survival in moral absolutism, outright discrimination, and merciless

This is often compared to religious orthodoxy but the irony is that this is being done by none other than a very large group of scientists. It's always about truth vs falsehood, not science vs religion.
It is not much of an exaggeration to state that when the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is finally recognized as wrong, the entire institution of science will lose the public’s trust, and science itself will experience fundamental, profound, and long-lasting changes.
“What people call science today is probably very similar to what was called science in 1634. Galileo was told to recant his beliefs or be excommunicated.
“The persistence of this intellectually bankrupt theory in the public mind is attributable entirely to the campaign of fear, discrimination, and terror that has been waged aggressively by a powerful group of people whose sole motivation was and is behavior control.
“Science advances one funeral at a time.”
scientists and administrators at the National Institutes of Health flagrantly disregard ethical and legal requirements of financial disclosure.
“Beginning around 1990, clinical trials became the profit center for the medical community. The insurance industry and HMOs were squeezing doctors so that it became hard to make big money practicing medicine. The most ambitious doctors left patient care and gravitated toward clinical trials. Everybody involved was making money except the subjects of the human experiments. At the center of everything was NIH and NIAID. While people were not paying attention, the agency quietly became the partner of the industry.”
Dr. Fauci’s NIAID and his Big Pharma partners turned Black and Hispanic foster kids into lab rats, subjecting them to torture and abuse in a grim parade of unsupervised drug and vaccine studies:
money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. . . . [We] must . . . be alert to the danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.
“The racism is cloaked inside carefully crafted philanthropic manipulations such as ‘access’ to drugs. It’s never access to clean drinking water, education, sanitation, nutrition.
Canadian regulators rejected Nevirapine—in 1996 and 1998—due to its potent toxicity and dubious efficacy.
“Dr. Fauci had to know all about the safety problems, but he must have either omitted or whitewashed them when he sold the program to Bush,”
Pharma researchers commonly employ the highly unethical gimmick of eliminating the placebo control group in order to mask injuries in the study group.
His power to deliver a $15 billion health program and to summon unprecedented accolades from a sitting president gave Dr. Fauci unchallengeable power over the entire US health bureaucracy unmatched in American history. He now enjoyed consolidated power over HHS and all its subsidiaries.
In its place was a safety section Tramont later admitted having ghostwritten.
forged in his own bleached conclusions that the drug was safe.
all babies born to mothers with HIV test positive at birth, and almost all babies shed the maternal antibodies by eighteen months.
They wouldn’t let her off the Nevirapine. It seemed like very clear medical murder at Dr. Fauci’s doorstep.
the studies suggested that Nevirapine was ineffective. None of the women experienced reduction of viral loads.
“The drug had grave risks for suicidal ideation, and capillary leaks. The study leadership was ignoring their legal duty to inform the study recruits and participants about these troubling signals.”
“It was a serious violation of protocols and the researchers were ignoring their legal duty to report the signal. They omitted and whitewashed all these safety problems.
Anthony Fauci personally owned patents to IL-2 and stood to make millions in royalties if the treatment won FDA approval.
Dr. Fauci and his trusty longtime sidekick, Dr. H. Clifford Lane, “have received tens of thousands of dollars in royalties for an experimental AIDS treatment they invented [interleukin-2]. At the same time, their office has spent millions in tax dollars to test the treatment on patients across the globe.”
“Everyone was terrified of Fauci,” says Dr. Fishbein. “He runs the agency like a vindictive dictator. Everyone is frightened of him; everyone knows that you never cross Fauci.”
Six of its nine members were NIAID grant recipients then conducting their own trials for Dr. Fauci, with annual grants ranging from $120,000 to $2 million.
The statistical gimmick of getting rid of the inert placebo control group would become a tool wielded by Dr. Fauci to gain approvals for hundreds of new drugs and vaccines, from AIDS to COVID.
“We hope to have . . . a vaccine ready for testing in about two years.”2 Heckler was off the mark by a third of a century and counting.
attempted HIV vaccines are an ATM for NIH, whether they work or not.
In 1991, as part of a settlement ending years of litigation, Bob Gallo finally admitted that he had stolen the HIV virus from Montagnier.
published inaccurate data in the New England Journal of Medicine, claiming that an HIV vaccine they helped develop and tested on Walter Reed patients was effective.13 They both must have known the vaccine was worthless.
The trio—none of whom ever treated a COVID patient—adopted controversial strategies to confine the nation under house arrest, shut down the global economy, deny the public access to early treatment and lifesaving therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, excite persistent public terror through the broadcasts of deliberately exaggerated death and case counts, and repeatedly tell the world that “the only path back to normal is a miraculous vaccine.” With minimal scientific support, they imposed draconian quarantine, mask, and social-distancing mandates, purposefully or accidentally

Science actually gives the honor of having vanquished infectious disease mortalities to nutrition and sanitation.
the real heroes of public health were not the medical profession, but rather the engineers who brought us sewage treatment plants, railroads, roads, and highways for transporting food, electric refrigerators, and chlorinated water.50
“When the tide is receding from the beach it is easy to have the illusion that one can empty the ocean by removing the water with a pail.”
it seems to me that a mutually respectful science-based, evidence-based marriage incorporating the best of these two clashing dogmas would best serve public health and humankind.
philanthropy can have evil effect when it “places its beneficiaries under a boot rather than recognizing their equal right to foster their own independence, to realize their individuality.”
Furthermore, instead of preventing infection, the Merck/NIAID researchers reported data suggesting the vaccine actually raised the risk of contracting HIV!
Dr. Fauci admitted that after a decade of effort, “scientists realized that they did not know enough about how HIV vaccines and the immune system interact.”
These were stunning admissions, which seemed to validate the critiques by Duesberg and others who predicted the inevitable failure of a vaccine based on the defective HIV/AIDS hypothesis.
With every other disease, the presence of antibodies is the signal that the patient has vanquished the disease. With AIDS, Fauci and Gallo, and now Gates, claim it’s a sign you’re about to die. Think about it; if the objective of an AIDS vaccine is to stimulate antibody production, then success would mean that every vaccinated person would also have an AIDS diagnosis.
Since 1984, undeterred by thirty-seven years of broken promises, failed clinical trials, billions of squandered dollars, and uncounted human carnage, Dr. Fauci and his old crony Bob Gallo continue to ride the AIDS vaccine gravy train.
Dr. Fauci’s battle against AIDS is a religious crusade rooted in faith and appeals to authority rather than empiricism or rigorous scientific proof.
poverty is a complex conspiracy of social, historical, political, institutional, and technical maladies. It is most often best addressed through small-scale, locally tailored, trial-and-error experimentation. The optimal solutions are invariably homegrown with regular local input, disciplined self-assessment, accountability, frequent course corrections, and lots of humility by administrators, officials, and above all foreigners.
Too often, these are self-serving, one-size-fits-all vanity projects that, in the end, only compound calamity and magnify suffering.
“Virtually every significant decision at WHO is first vetted by the Gates Foundation.”
