Without these aids and the controls that they offer, it has become apparent that what have passed as preparations of pure virions have in fact been contaminated not only with filterable forms of bacteria but also with cellular materials derived from the tissue-cultures in which the viruses have been cultured.? ?We find the paucity of evidence published in standard peer-reviewed primary scientific journals that leads to the conclusion that ?HIV causes AIDS? appalling. No amount of moralizing censorship, rhetorical tricks, consensus of opinion, pulling rank, obfuscation, ad hominem attacks or blustering newspaper editorials changes this fact. The conflation ?HIV-AIDS? may be good marketing but is it science? No. Yet certainly the political and economic implications of the term ?HIV-AIDS? are staggering.?

Peter Duesberg is a fine scientist, I have read his book and examined some of the scientific papers upon which it is based. From the CDC (Center for Disease Control) in Atlanta I have requested the scientific papers that prove the causal relationship between the HIV retrovirus and the IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME commonly known as AIDS. They have never sent even references to the peer-reviewed primary scientific literature that establishes the causal relationship because they can?t. Such papers do not exist. I have seen all four of
