critical scientific views on AIDS Is HIV - the AIDS virus - harmless?  Is AIDS not contagious?  Are the HIV/AIDS tests worthless? Is AIDS medication killing patients? Find out what the AIDS establishment and media do not want you to know...” source... AIDS CONTROVERSY * Dr. Kary Mullis, Biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry: "If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document." (Sunday Times (London) 28 nov. 1993) * Dr. Heinz Ludwig Sänger, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Biology and Virology, Max-Planck-Institutes for Biochemy, München. Robert Koch Award 1978: "Up to today there is actually no single scientifically really convincing evidence for the existence of HIV. Not even once such a retrovirus has been isolated and purified by the methods of classical virology." (Letter to Süddeutsche Zeitung 2000) * Dr. Serge Lang, Professor of Mathematics, Yale University: "I do not regard the causal relationship between HIV and any disease as settled. I have seen considerable evidence that highly improper statistics concerning HIV and AIDS have been passed off as science, and that top members of the scientific establishment have carelessly, if not irresponsible, joined the media in spreading misinformation about the nature of AIDS." (Yale Scientific, Fall 1994) * Dr. Harry Rubin, Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California at Berkeley: "It is not proven that AIDS is caused by HIV infection, nor is it proven that it plays no role whatever in the syndrome." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994) * Dr. Richard Strohman, Emeritus Professor of Cell Biology at the University of California at Berkeley: "In the old days it was required that a scientist address the possibilities of proving his hypothesis wrong as well as right. Now there's none of that in standard HIV-AIDS program with all its billions of dollars." (Penthouse April 1994) * Dr. Harvey Bialy, Molecular Biologist, former editor of Bio/Technology and Nature Biotechnology: "HIV is an ordinary retrovirus. There is nothing about this virus that is unique. Everything that is discovered about HIV has an analogue in other retroviruses that don't cause AIDS. HIV only contains a very small piece of genetic information. There's no way it can do all these elaborate things they say it does." (Spin June 1992) * Dr. Roger Cunningham, Immunologist, Microbiologist and Director of the Centre for Immunology at the State University of New York at Buffalo: "Unfortunately, an AIDS 'establishment' seems to have formed that intends to discourage challenges to the dogma on one side and often insists on following discredited ideas on the other." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994) * Dr. Gordon Stewart, Emeritus Professor of Public Health, University of Glasgow: "AIDS is a behavioural disease. It is multifactorial, brought on by several simultaneous strains on the immune system - drugs, pharmaceutical and recreational, sexually transmitted diseases, multiple viral infections." (Spin June 1992) * Dr. Alfred Hässig, (1921-1999), former Professor of Immunology at the University of Bern, and former director Swiss Red Cross blood banks: "The sentence of death accompanying the medical diagnosis of AIDS should be abolished." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994) * Dr. Charles Thomas, former Professor of Biochemistry, Harvard and John Hopkins Universities: "The HIV-causes-AIDS dogma represents the grandest and perhaps the most morally destructive fraud that has ever been perpetrated on young men and women of the Western world." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994) * Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, New York Physician, founder of the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR): "The marketing of HIV, through press releases and statements, as a killer virus causing AIDS without the need for any other factors, has so distorted research and treatment that it may have caused thousands of people to suffer and die." (Sunday times (London) 17 May 1992) * Dr. Andrew Herxheimer, Emeritus Professor of Pharmacology, UK Cochrane Centre, Oxford: "I think zidovudine [AZT] was never really evaluated properly and that its efficacy has never been proved, but it's toxicity certainly is important. And I think it has killed a lot of people. Especially at the high doses. I personally think it not worth using alone or in combination at all." (Continuum Oct. 2000) * Dr. Etienne de Harven, Emeritus Professor of Pathology, at the University of Toronto: "Dominated by the media, by special pressure groups and by the interests of several pharmaceutical companies, the AIDS establishment efforts to control the disease lost contact with open-minded, peer-reviewed medical science since the unproven HIV/AIDS hypothesis received 100% of the research funds while all other hypotheses were ignored." (Reappraising AIDS Nov./Dec. 1998) * Dr. Bernard Forscher, former editor of the U.S. Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences: "The HIV hypothesis ranks with the 'bad air' theory for malaria and the 'bacterial infection' theory of beriberi and pellagra [caused by nutritional deficiencies]. It is a hoax that became a scam." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)   source... A growing group of bio-medical scientists claim the cause of AIDS  is still unknown. “These heretics do not believe in the lethal AIDS virus called HIV. They claim that the virus is indeed harmless. Most of them think AIDS is also not sexually transmitted; it probably has toxic causes. People die because they are poisoned to death by toxic antiviral drugs. Part of the AIDS dissidents even    question the existence of a virus entity. These HIV skeptics say that the AIDS virus has never really been isolated, and the AIDS tests are worthless...” source...

SUPPORT  PRESIDENT MBEKI !! PETITION OF SUPPORT                                                                                                                                            “In science, no theory should be immune from challenge, and a debate over an issue affecting millions of lives should never be declared over. I support South African President Thabo Mbeki's intention to investigate the definition, causation, treatment and prevention of AIDS”.     sign the petition Debating AZT - Mbeki and the Aids Drug Controversy

Welcome to Peter Duesberg's HIV/AIDS research web site. Peter H. Duesberg, Ph.D. is a professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley On the basis of his experience with retroviruses, Duesberg has challenged the virus-AIDS hypothesis in the pages of such journals as Cancer Research, Lancet, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science, Nature, Journal of AIDS, AIDS Forschung, Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapeutics, New England Journal of Medicine and Research in Immunology. He has instead proposed the hypothesis that the various American/European AIDS diseases are brought on by the long-term consumption of recreational drugs and/or AZT itself, which is prescribed to prevent or treat AIDS. See The AIDS Dilemma: Drug diseases blamed on a passenger virus.   source...

DEBATING AZT MBEKI AND THE AIDS DRUG CONTROVERSY Anthony Brink - Foreword by Martin Welz On 28 October 1999, South African President Thabo Mbeki ordered an enquiry into the safety of the AIDS drug AZT. He did so after reading this debate. Debating AZT has now been updated to reveal the President’s remarkable personal involvement in the subsequent controversy. It also takes a critical look at the roles of rape survivor Charlene Smith, acting Constitutional Court Justice Edwin Cameron, and AIDS Law Project director Mark Heywood, and it exposes the dereliction of the medical experts and journalists on whom the South African public has relied. Described by South Africa’s top investigative journalist, Martin Welz, as “extraordinary”, Debating AZT tells the inside story and provides the shocking facts.   source...

Does the Perth Group really believe HIV does not exist?

The Perth Group does not broker beliefs and has never claimed HIV does not exist.  (Neither have we claimed AIDS does not exist although we and our colleagues are often referred to as "AIDS Denialists").  What we have argued on numerous occasions in our publications and presentations is there is no proof for the existence of a retrovirus HIV. Not in test-tubes, not in AIDS patients and not in anyone who is "HIV" positive.  Of course we may be wrong but to date no HIV expert has responded with any argument that has convinced us otherwise.  There is a tradition in science that those who propose theories provide the proof.  According to this tradition it is up to the HIV protagonists to come up with proof that HIV does exist. A scientist cannot employ the "Martian" argument.  That Martians exist because there is no proof they do not exist. It is our long held view that the laboratory phenomena documented by Montagnier and Gallo in Science in 1983/84 (which are still the best papers on this particular topic) are not specific for retroviruses and do not constitute proof of isolation of a retrovirus.  source...

There are dozens of picture of HIV.

If these are not a retrovirus what have we been looking at all these years?

At its inimical website "Focus on the HIV/AIDS Connection" the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases present their evidence "Why is there overwhelming scientific consensus that HIV causes AIDS?". The answer to this question of "consensus" includes an invitation to visit http://www.virology.net/Big_Virology/BVretro.html in order to see "Electron micrographs and other images of  HIV". Of these 25 images the majority are diagrams, artists' renditions or computer graphics.  Only eight images are electron microscopic pictures and none identify the source or nature of the material photographed.  Significantly, none have a size bar, that is, in no EM is it possible to measure the size of the particles or determine the dimensions of any other morphological feature. From the scientific point of view this is both highly unprofessional and unsatisfactory because the dimension of particles is critical to taxonomy.  The best conclusion one can draw from the EMs (the other images are irrelevant) is the existence in unidentified cell cultures of minute quantities of matter, that is, particles of indeterminate size which also possess certain other morphological features.  Since these are the pictures "we have been looking at all these years", let us examine the proposition "These EMs are a retrovirus HIV".   source...

"To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live."
Ruth Hubbard US biologist b.1924

Considering how AIDS saturates our public discourse, galvanises our politicians, thrills our gee-whiz journalists, inspires our musicians, worries our clergy, agitates our AIDS-activist lawyers, perturbs the judges of even our highest court, engages the South African Law Commission's energies in cooking up imaginative new bills, dominates our medical research effort, infuses exciting new relevance into tired careers in virology departments, and siphons off our tax rands into the pockets of our condom missionaries and 'AIDS counselors' proselytizing indefatigably to a stubborn public, your regular guy might be excused for believing that our country and the world were in the throes of a dire public health crisis, a new Black Death, and for thinking that the fact of it was as certain as any in science about which there obtains a universal consensus.

In fact, hundreds of scientists of the highest rank disagree with the HIV-AIDS causation hypothesis. They think 'AIDS' as a medical construct is a passing fad, a fashionable new name for age-old ills, and that boiled down, AIDS is just money spinning political kitsch. In their most assiduous dissents they emphasize that 'HIV' has never been isolated under the well-settled rules for viral isolation, assert that 'HIV' has never been shown to exist as an infectious entity of exogenous origin, and demonstrate that every protein claimed uniquely to be constituent of 'HIV' is actually cellular, not viral - in other words, that all HIV-positive test results are false positives. In short, they consider the HIV-AIDS paradigm a scientific blunder of biblical proportions, and its experts foolish quacks. These AIDS dissidents include professors emeriti at the pinnacle of their specialities in cell-biology, virology and related fields. They also include leading mathematicians, actuaries, and law and history professors. Among them are two exceptionally distinguished Nobel laureates in our time, Walter Gilbert (Chemistry 1980), and the Einstein of modern biology, Kary Mullis (Chemistry 1993).  source...

Conspiracy of Humbug Hides The Truth On Aids

By Gordon Stewart - The Sunday Times (London) 7 June 1992

Much humbug is being spoken and written about HIV and AIDS. Critics of recent articles in The Sunday Times questioning whether the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the true cause of the disease seem to assume they alone hold the moral high ground. They say the public welfare is so intimately involved that nobody should question their utterances, except perhaps within the confines of specialist journals.

But what if the orthodox view is manifestly and tragically wrong? And what if those journals refuse to publish even verifiable data that puts the conventional view into question?  source...
