Topic: AIDS origin


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  AIDS origin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AIDS is thought to have originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the 20th century.
AIDS was suspected as early as 1984, and in 1987, researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine confirmed this, finding HIV-1 in his preserved blood and tissues.
Although AIDS was first recognized and named as a disease in 1981 and the first confirmed death from HIV was in 1959, it is possible that HIV may have spread from chimpanzees to humans as early as the late 1600s.

 AIDS conspiracy theories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They believe this claim was originally disseminated in the West by Soviet agents seeking to undermine the faith of citizens in their own government (see: propaganda, fl propaganda, disinformation).
The AIDS conspiracy alleged against her is that the medical establishment seeks to suppress her theories and cures, now offered in Tijuana, Mexico.
Mbeki drew on the ideas of AIDS dissidents, such as Peter Duesberg, Robert Root-Bernstein, and Kary Mullis (inventor of polymerase chain reaction), who have argued that HIV does not cause AIDS, or is not the sole factor in AIDS etiology.

 AIDS reappraisal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AIDS reappraisal movement (or AIDS dissident movement) is a loosely connected group of activists — journalists, scientists, doctors, HIV-positive persons, and concerned citizens — who deny, challenge, or question aspects of the mainstream scientific view that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
The AIDS dissident arguments are considered pseudoscience by mainstream scientists and public health workers, who argue that dissidents selectively ignore evidence in favour of HIV's role in AIDS and endanger public health by dissuading people from utilizing proven treatments.
AIDS has progressed relatively slowly in comparison with some other known infectious diseases; this is taken by dissidents to be evidence that AIDS is not caused by an infectious agent.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Medical (The Origin of AIDS)
American scientists created AIDS in a laboratory as a weapon to be used on enemies of the United States, and they began testing it on unsuspecting populations in Africa and Haiti, where they lost control of the experiment.
That the first victims of AIDS were members of groups some deemed contemptible (homosexuals and drug users) supported belief that the disease had been deliberately manufactured for the purpose of ridding society of particular classes of undesirables.
Part of the prevalence of the AIDS origin rumor that pins responsibility for the virus on the CIA (or another group within the American government) may be due to deliberate Soviet misinformation designed to discredit the USA.

 The Origin of AIDS and HIV May Not Be What You Have Learned
Key among these HIV origin theories is the so called "cut hunter theory" in which a human, allegedly African native, received a bloody wound or infected splash while preparing a chimpanzee carrying a similar virus (i.e., SIVcpz).
In 2001, The Royal Society of London's conference proceedings, which sought to determine the initial cause of AIDS and the origin of HIV, were published for the world to behold.
By the end of the symposium, the esteemed delegates concluded the HIV origin and AIDS was not likely to have come from polio vaccine transmissions as chimpanzees were not proven to have been used during the manufacture of this vaccine.

 The Origin of AIDS
AIDS is a broad term for any or all of some twenty-seven known diseases and symptoms.
Then there were those that believed AIDS was a myth after a talk show host claimed it to be a myth and many people stopped their medication and treatment.
The origin of HIV has also developed into myths such as being created by contaminated polio, smallpox, hepatitis, and tetanus vaccines, the African green monkey, African people, their cattle, pigs and sheep as well as the United States CIA.

 Curtis: The Origin of AIDS
When a researcher took a simian AIDS virus from a healthy mangabey, a monkey species in which it typically causes no symptoms, and injected it into a group of macaques, the disease became progressively more virulent each time it passed through the body of another macaque.
Some others in the AIDS establishment - like Dr. David Heymann, who heads the office of research for the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS, and Harvard pathology professor William Haseltine are so hostile to the possibility that a vaccine could have introduced AIDS that they refuse to discuss it.
Among the reasons Gallo cites supporting what he considers the settled question of the origin of AIDS in Africa was "the greater divergence in people of the virus." "The more divergent a microbe is in a population, the more time it's had to diverge, all things being equal," Gallo says.

 Early Hepatitis B Vaccines and the “Man-Made” Origin of HIV/AIDS:
AIDS is undoubtedly “man-made.” We can now assert this “very apparent iatrogenic origin,” versus the “theoretic iatrogenic origin” of HIV/AIDS because of the rapidly increasing, now substantial, scientific support for this conclusion.
Opponents of iatrogenic (or “man-made”) theories of AIDS have routinely confused hearsay and sporadic media propaganda with hard science, such as that “discussed, debated” and not “dismissed” recently at the Royal Society of London’s inquiry into the origin of this pandemic.
If early polio vaccines had not triggered the origin of HIV/AIDS as scientific consensus now holds,6 then some other, chimpanzee-related, “iatrogenic event” must be available to explain the staggering array of deadly recombinants that were proven by Myers et al to have arisen virtually simultaneously during the early to mid-1970s.

 Polio vaccines and the origin of AIDS
One theory of the origin of AIDS is that it developed from contaminated vaccines used in the world's first mass immunisation for polio.
The earliest known cases of AIDS occurred in central Africa, in the same regions where Koprowski's polio vaccine was given to over a million people in 1957-1960.
It has generated widespread discussion and debate and has established the polio-vaccine theory of the origin of AIDS as by far the strongest contender to the cut-hunter orthodoxy.

 BBC News | Sci/Tech | Aids origin 'discovered'
The origin of the main HIV virus that causes Aids in humans has been discovered by an international team of scientists.
In the early days of Aids research, dozens of chimps were deliberately infected with the HIV virus to see if they developed the disease.
It is not yet known whether the chimps do not develop Aids because of their genetic differences with humans or because their immune systems deal better with the virus.

 The Secret Origin of AIDS & HIV
At the international AIDS conference held in 2000 in South Africa, one scientist claimed the chimpanzee virus (SIVcpz) was "ancient" and jumped species as early as 1675 but didn't establish itself in the human population until 1930.
Originally designed to study leukemia and lymphoma forms of cancer, the program was soon enlarged to study all forms of cancer.

In 1999 I wrote a book, The River, which proposed the hypothesis that AIDS might be iatrogenic (caused by physicians), and that scientists might have unwittingly started the pandemic through an experimental oral polio vaccine (OPV) administered in central Africa in the 1950s.
I trust that my response to Beatrice Hahn’s latest article “The Hollywooding of Science” has not only restored some balance in the “origins of AIDS” debate, but that it has highlighted the flimsy nature of some of the claims that are routinely made by key advocates of the bushmeat hypothesis.
Once again, the claims by Hahn and her buddies that "the OPV theory has been laid to rest" are revealed as empty bluster.

 The Secret Origins of AIDS: Facts, Fallacies & Conspiracy Theories
AIDS experts routinely blame primates and human sexuality for the origin and spread of HIV, but they never consider the possibility that HIV could have originated in an animal cancer virus laboratory.
The primate origin of HIV was further obscured by titling the virus as a “human immunodeficiency virus” (HIV), rather than calling it “primate immunodeficiency virus” (or PIV) in humans.
One of the contentions of the man-made theory of AIDS is that the experimental hepatitis B vaccine was contaminated with an immunosuppressive AIDS-causing agent and/or the Kaposi’s sarcoma virus.
