Continued from page 10 – Gay Vaccine Experiments and the<br />

American Origin of AIDS<br />

infection such as HIV." The full Times story never appeared<br />

in the major media in the U.S., but is available<br />

online.<br />

<strong>Research</strong>ers have known for a long time that the particular<br />

strain of HIV that infected American gays is<br />

"subtypes B." The prevalent strains in Africa are<br />

different, again suggesting that American AIDS cases did<br />

not <strong>com</strong>e from Africa cases. Unlike some strains in<br />

Africa, which date back to the 1930s, a recent study by<br />

Perez-Losada et al (2010), indicates "subtype B" is quite<br />

new, dating back to around 1968, a decade before the hep<br />

B experiment Max Essex claims the American B strain<br />

has an affinity for anal tissue and is more easily<br />

transmitted by homosexual contact and intravenous drug<br />

use, whereas the HIV subtypes in Africa tend to fuel<br />

heterosexual epidemics via a vaginal mucosal route.<br />

THE LAB ORIGIN OF HIV IN AMERICA<br />

Hilleman's hepatitis B vaccine was intentionally made<br />

from the pooled blood of 300 highly sexually-active gay<br />

and intravenous drug abusers in Manhattan. These men<br />

were the carriers of the hepatitis virus Hilleman required<br />

to manufacture his vaccine.<br />

As mentioned, the vaccine was developed in chimps, and<br />

took 65 weeks to make. His vaccine brew was collected<br />

in 1977. The specific year is important because there are<br />

no reports of AIDS cases at that time; and no stored<br />

American blood testing positive for HIV before that year.<br />

In ”Vaccinated" (2007) Paul Offit, a pediatrician and<br />

vaccine developer who works for Merck, theorizes that<br />

although "HIV was likely present in the blood from<br />

which he made early preparations of his vaccine,<br />

Hilleman's choice of pepsin, urea, and formaldehyde had<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletely destroyed it."<br />

In "Vaccinated," Offit is critical of my AIDS origin<br />

research. He writes, “The publisher of Alan Cantwell's<br />

book, Aries Rising Press, was founded by Cantwell<br />

himself to promote his uninformed views on the origin of<br />

the AIDS epidemic.” Offit claims the American blood<br />

supply was "heavily contaminated" with HIV in the mid-<br />

1970s. He offers no documentation for this statement, nor<br />

are there any studies (or epidemic AIDS cases) which<br />

document this.<br />

The earliest HIV-positive blood specimens in<br />

the American epidemic were uncovered in 1978-they are<br />

those deposited into the Blood Center by gay participants<br />

of the hep B experiment. There is no record of any other<br />

stored blood in the U.S testing positive for HIV, with one<br />

exception. According to "Virus Hunters of the CDC"<br />

(1996), author Joseph McCormick states six hundred blood<br />

specimens from Zaire, Africa, were sent to the CDC in<br />

1976 during the Ebola virus outbreak. When re- tested in<br />

the mid-1980s for HIV, five of the specimens were<br />

positive. One has to wonder if other labs in the U.S were<br />

also harboring HIV-infected <strong>African</strong> blood used in animal<br />

(or human) research.<br />

Unlike Offit, I have never promoted the idea that HIV was<br />

contained in Hilleman's blood brew in 1977. Yet Offit<br />

insists HIV first entered the U.S. a few years before<br />

Hilleman began working on his vaccine. He notes Hilleman<br />

would be "the first (and last) to use human blood to make a<br />

vaccine. He didn't know until years later that the blood was<br />

heavily contaminated with HIV."<br />

Offit makes no mention of Hilleman importing HIV/AIDS<br />

via his monkeys and chimps, nor does he cite the 20% HIV<br />

infection rate of the men who participated in the trial at the<br />

Blood Center in 1981. He simply assures us the vaccine<br />

given to gay men was safe and free of HIV.<br />

UNETHICAL MEDICAL EXPERIMENTATION<br />

The development of a hepatitis B vaccine has a dark<br />

history. Less than a decade before the gay experiment, sixty<br />

mentally retarded children at Willowbrook State School, on<br />

Staten Island, NY, were fed live hepatitis B virus. In<br />

another experiment, the serum from a patient with hepatitis<br />

B was injected intravenously into 25 retarded children<br />

with dire results. They sickened, some severely, and turned<br />

yellow with jaundice. According to Hilleman, "They were<br />

the most unethical medical experiments ever performed in<br />

children in the Unites States."<br />

It is indeed shameful to read the history of covert human<br />

experimentation over the past decades, which likely<br />

continues up to the present. Most appalling were "the<br />

human radiation experiments" of the Cold War era<br />

affecting millions of unsuspecting Americans, and<br />

extending into the mid-1970s. For all the morbid details,<br />

google: human medical experimentation.<br />

I will mention only one recent revelation (2010) uncovered<br />

by Susan Reverby, quite by accident, while researching the<br />

notorious Tuskegee Syphilis study. According to the<br />

Wikipedia entry, "In a 1946 to 1948 study in Guatemala,<br />

U.S. researchers used prostitutes to infect prison inmates,<br />

insane asylum patients, and Guatemalan soldiers with<br />

syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, in order to<br />

test the effectiveness of penicillin in treating sexually<br />

transmitted diseases. They later tried infecting people with<br />

"direct inoculations made from syphilis bacteria poured into<br />

the men's penises and on forearms and faces that were<br />

slightly abraded . . . or in a few cases through spinal<br />

punctures. The study was sponsored by the U.S. Public<br />
