A Place to Stand

Professor Duesberg


Remember all the scare stories about how AIDS is going to wipe out civilisation, probably in the 1990s? How it is going to grow at a geometric rate, as all infectious diseases do, until we find a cure? Sure you do - they were all over our media since 1980, 10s, perhaps hundreds of billions have been spent on it?

Well as you were. WHO have said there is no chance of this

A quarter of a century after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared.

In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations may have been misdirected, Kevin de Cock, the head of the WHO's department of HIV/Aids said there will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the heterosexual population outside Africa....

Whereas once it was seen as a risk to populations everywhere, it was now recognised that, outside sub-Saharan Africa, it was confined to high-risk groups including men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and sex workers and their clients.....

In 2006, the Global Fund for HIV, Malaria and Tuberculosis, which provides 20 per cent of all funding for Aids, warned that Russia was on the cusp of a catastrophe. An estimated 1 per cent of the population was infected, mainly through injecting drug use

This is completely inconsistent with any claim that it is primarily an infectious disease since it is at last admitted not to be spreading by infection. If AIDS was an infectious disease rather than the body reacting to injection of foreign substances as Peter Duesberg has been saying for 30 years then it would be infecting people. He has said that HIV is unrelated to AIDS & in fact harmless but because it was widespread in the gay & drug communities it was blamed & used a s marker. WHO have thus, by a back door method, admitted he was largely or entirely right. I would like to think the very brave Professor Duesberg's contribution & those of others ( see Virusmyth )who spoke the truth will be justly rewarded but I suspect the scammers are too deeply embedded.

Throughout Professor Duesberg has proposed double blind testing of HIV "positive" patients which would have proved or disproved the theory. Double blind testing is normal medical practice. Despite the billions going to researchers on a cure the few hundred thousand required to test if it was true was never available.

Considering the amount of propaganda put on this story for decades the fact that coverage is pretty much limited to a small article in the Independent (picked up much more extensively on the net) is disgraceful.

I must admit though I did do an article on this in 2005 & have mentioned on occasion since I have been unwilling to commit myself wholeheartedly to the theory that this "epidemic" was a scam. Despite it being clear a lot didn't fit & some people engaged in fraud were pushing it the officially expressed opinion was so overwhelming that I found it difficult to believe it was hysteria or worse. Well now there can be no serious reason to doubt it was a false scare & the most successful of them all. Neither Global Warming nor the Coming Ice Age, nor passive smoking nor peak oil nor any of the rest quite succeeded to overawing opposition so well as the AIDS scare.

Doubtless we will still keep hearing about the "AIDS epidemic" in Africa for a decent interval. Not only is it alleged to be widespread but it is diagnosed without any expensive HIV tests. Basically if you come down with some disease or malnutrition which weakens your immune system in Africa you've got "AIDS" & strangely enough quite a lot of Africans have these symptoms. Bit tough on those who actually died of AZT the medication that was said to "cure" them.
