Why There is Still an HIV Controversy
VWNOV 10 '93 1:47PMT ADARC P.7 4 2- The persons who come into closest contact with the virus or the persons it infects -- virus researchers and health care workers -- are not at risk for AIDS. The CDC claims only seven or eight (poorly documented) occupationally caused cases of AIDS from among the millions of health care workers who have been exposed to the bodily fluids of AIDS patients [15]. Health care workers as a group have no greater incidence of AIDS than the population at large, despite the fact that no vaccine exists to protect them from infection. In contrast, each year there are more than 1500 cases of hepatitis infection [estimated] by accidental needle sticks [20]. Medical researchers work with HIV every day with no risk greater than that of the general public. 3. Statistics are manipulated to maintain the impression that "everyone is at risk" (which maximizes funding), and to conceal the discrepancies between the HIV theory and the facts. Almost all AIDS cases in North America fall within the major risk groups, and almost 90 per cent are male- a percentage hard to reconcile with the official story that a newly mutated virus is rampaging through a defenseless population via heterosexual intercourse [15, 19]. To reconcile these facts with the "everyone is at risk" ideology, the HIV establishment enlists statistics from Africa, where the distribution of AIDS cases between the sexes is equal. Yet the African figures are very soft, based mainly on projections from clinical determinations and ELISA tests that yield a high percentage of false positives ~21-22], When Africans die from diseases that have long been common, many of these deaths are now attributed to HIV [21,25]. This is convenient for public health officials who depend upon the HV theory for their funding, but does it reflect the facts? 4. Although the HIV theory depends entirely on correlation, the CDC keeps statistics carelessly, as if its officials do not want to know any facts that might conflict with the theory. This situation was briefly exposed at the Amsterdam Conference in 1992, when the existence of dozens of suppressed "AIDS without HIV" cases first became publicly known [16]- instead of considering the obvious implications of these cases for the WIIV theory, the researchers quickly buried the anomaly by inventing a new disease called "TOL" ("Idiopathic 0CD4~ Lymphocytopenia"). In a recent article published in Rio/Technology, Peter buesberg documented the consistent failure of the ODO to report on the true tncidence of positive HIV tests in AIDS cases [21, *1ow many cases have been diagnosed on the basis of unreliable ELISA tests, or without any testing at all? What efforts have been made to determine if persons who once tested positive are still positive, or to validate the antibody tests against the only real "gold standard" -- the presence of active, replicating HIV in the body [22]?
