?An NCI grantee scientist, Dr. Peter Duesberg of California / Berkeley, has published a paper in a scientific journal which concludes that the HTLV-III / HIV virus identified by Dr. Gallo and Dr. Montagnier is not the cause of AIDS and that the disease is caused by ?a still unidentified agent? which may not even be a virus...The article apparently went through the normal pre-publication process and should have been flagged at NIH?This obviously has the potential to raise a lot of controversy (if this isn?t the virus, how do we know the blood supply is safe? How do we know anything about transmission? How could you all be so stupid and why should we ever believe you again?) and we need to be prepared to respond. I have already asked NIH public affairs to start digging into this.? ? Chuck Kline , MEDIA ALERT, April 28, 1987, US Dept of Health and Human Services, addressed to officials from the Health Department, the Surgeon General, the White House and a government PR operative. ?Having devoted a great deal of time to researching the subjects of HIV and AIDS, I am absolutely convinced that HIV does not cause AIDS, and that virtually everything that the public has been told about HIV and AIDS is a deliberate lie.? ?These two conclusions would become obvious to anyone with a little common sense who takes the time to read up on the counter arguments to the HIV myth. Everyone should come to the forum
