Why thousands of top PhDs, MDs turned on Fauci

Frontline News recently covered the campaign to defund and then isolate the lead voice challenging the theory that the new AIDS disease was caused by the old and inactive (or absent) HIV virus (and, according to the theory, not by the recreational drug use that correlated with the rise of the disease). 

Dissension swells

Silencing and ignoring the findings of top virologist Peter Duesberg, on the harmless nature of HIV, however, turned out to be insufficient in the battle to keep that information sealed off from the public.

Even before the rise of the internet, word began leaking out and “big names” began joining the fight. Soon after the publication of Duesberg’s 1987 Cancer Research paper showing HIV to be harmless, other leading scientists turned against the official narrative.

Polio vaccine developer turns on the establishment

Albert Sabin, who famously refused to patent his polio vaccine to avoid exploitation by pharmaceutical companies, addressed a scientific conference with this blow to the AIDS establishment’s official view that AIDS is contagious.

"Presence of virus doesn't mean anything in and of itself because virologists know that quantities count." 

This meant, he concluded, that HIV itself, being extremely rare in AIDS patients, should be difficult to pass along between people. [p. 235].

Nobel Prize winners turn

Chemistry Nobel Prize laureate, Harvard professor Dr. Walter Gilbert, soon followed Sabin, declaring, “[Duesberg] is absolutely correct in saying that no one has proven that AIDS is caused by the AIDS virus.”

Harvard University biochemistry professor Charles Thomas, Jr. then put together a large group of scientists to sign onto the following demand that public health officials reopen the debate on the cause of AIDS.

It is widely believed by the general public that a retrovirus called HIV causes the group of diseases called AIDS.

Many biochemical scientists now question this hypothesis. 

We propose that a thorough reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis be conducted by a suitable independent group. 

Hundreds of PhDs and MDs challenge public health officials

Thomas eventually attracted 2,897 signatories to his group, which he named, The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis, including more than 600 PhDs and 300 MDs, in addition to 3 Nobel laureates.

NIH falls victim to its own “Trojan horse”

Particularly damaging was the public stance taken by Chemistry Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis.

We have not been able to discover any good reasons why most of the people on earth believe that AIDS is a disease caused by a virus called HIV. There is simply no scientific evidence demonstrating that this is true. 

We have also not been able to discover why doctors prescribe a toxic drug called AZT to people who have no other complaint than the presence of antibodies to HIV in their blood. In fact, we cannot understand why humans would take that drug for any reason. 

We cannot understand how all this madness came about, and having both lived in Berkeley, we've seen some strange things indeed. 

We know that to err is human, but the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is one hell of a mistake. [Emphases added; pp. xiii-xiv].

Mullis was awarded a Nobel Prize for his development of the PCR test, the only technique that can detect any trace of HIV in AIDS patients (though inactive and far from enough to cause illness), giving him the unwanted role of a modern day Trojan horse.

Mullis is a Trojan horse to the AIDS establishment, adored for his invention of the only technique to detect at least a gene of the elusive AIDS virus, but feared for his outspoken criticism of the virus-AIDS hypothesis. [p. 252].

How outspoken? Harper’s Magazine journalist Celia Farber interviewed the Nobel laureate.

"What ABC needs to do," says Mullis, "is talk to Fauci and [Dr. Robert] Gallo [one of the (alleged) discoverers of HIV] and show that they're a*holes, which I could do in ten minutes."

But, I point out, Gallo will refuse to discuss the HIV debate, just as he's always done.

"I know he will," Mullis shoots back, anger rising in his voice. "But you know what? I would be willing to chase the little bast*d from his car to his office and say, 'This is Kary Mullis trying to ask you a goddamn simple question,' and let the cameras follow. 

If people think I'm a crazy person, that's okay. But here's a Nobel Prize-winner trying to ask a simple question from those who spent $22 billion and killed 100,000 people. It has to be on TV. It's a visual thing. I'm not unwilling to do something like that." [Emphases added].

The final shoe drops

Notwithstanding the damage Mullis brought to the AIDS establishment, Luc Montagnier stood alone as the greatest thorn in the side of public health officials.

Montagnier, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the HIV virus, turned on the establishment, publicly declaring at the San Francisco International AIDS Conference of June 1990, “the HIV virus is harmless and passive, a benign virus." [Emphases added].

Backlash from NIH

How did the NIH and Anthony Fauchi react to the growing skepticism of their HIV-AIDS theory?
