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 />
