A Chapter Summary of ‘Emerging Viruses’ for Reporters

A C a t r S u0 r f E m r i g V r u e o0e p r e a c i a i g a a l fa d c i n t f i i I OverviewReconciling the origin of AIDS and Ebola is important for at least three reasons: 1) victims of AIDS should not be blamed for starting the epidemic, 2) new therapies might be developed from a better understanding of HIV's origin; and 3) the events precipitating such epidemics should never be allowed to happen again. This is the first in-depth exploration into the origins of HIV and Ebola. Claims that these "emerging viruses" naturally evolved and then jumped species from monkey to man seem grossly unfounded in light of the compelling evidence assembled in this extraordinary text. Alternatively, the possibility that these bizarre germs were laboratory creations, accidentally or intentionally transmitted via tainted vaccines in the U.S. and Africa-as numerous authorities have alleged-is investigated herein. This book reviews the bounty of viral vaccine studies conducted simultaneously in New York City and Central West Africa by a narrow network of virologists working for major military-medical contractors under the auspices of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Included is Dr. Robert Gallo, the co-discoverer of the AIDS virus. The text presents bizarre and horrifying facts about the biological weapons race of the 1960s and early 1970s when these researchers developed countless immunesystem-ravaging viruses, and experimented with an assortment of antidote vaccines allegedly for "defense" and cancer prevention. * The accidental and intentional theories of AIDS are meticuously explored within the social and political context of this stormy period of American military science. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) activities and foreign policy initiatives in $29,95 Central Africa in response to the threats posed by communism, (+ s & H) black nationalism, and Third World populations are examined. The important roles played by political leaders including National Security Advisor Dr. Henry Kissinger, Department of Health, Education and Welfare directors Frank Carlucci, Jr. and rid Joseph Califano, presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, g Group and economic notables Nelson and Laurance Rockefeller are considered. The text hauntingly dissects the potential motives 508 5469226 and administrative mechanisms underlying the prevalent belief iedron.org that HIV and Ebola may have been deliberately deployed.
