Gay Vaccine Experiments And The American (Not African) Origin Of AIDS

Ever since the AIDS epidemic became official in June 1981,
there have been rumors that AIDS is a man-made disease. Although this
theory has been discredited by "scientific
consensus," there is evidence linking the outbreak of this new disease
to a vaccine experiment conducted on gay men in New York City, as well
as in other U.S. cities, between 1978 and 1981.

The first epidemic cases of AIDS in America were uncovered
exclusively in young, previously healthy, and mostly white gay men
in Manhattan in 1979. The cause was unknown until 1984 when
a virus, later named HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), was accepted
as the infectious agent. How a sexually transmitted disease (STD), purportedly
originating in Africa, was transferred into a so-called "gay disease"
in New York City was left unexplained, except for preposterous stories
like the gay Canadian airline steward Gaetan Dugas, who was demonized in
the media and tabloids as "the man who brought AIDS to America."

THE GAY VACCINE EXPERIMENTS BEFORE AIDS
(1978-1981)

Beginning in 1974, workers in a bloodmobile
provided by the New York Blood Center in Manhattan began soliciting 8,
906 gay men for a hepatitis B vaccine research study (Koblin et al, 1992).
Over the next few years more that 10,000 blood samples were donated by
gays willing to participate in the development of a vaccine that might
prevent hepatitis B. This viral disease was an STD disproportionately
affecting sexually-active homosexuals.

The AIDS epidemic in the U.S. directly traces back to
this government-sponsored vaccine experiment! Eventually, 1,083 gay men
were recruited to be injected with an experimental hepatitis B vaccine
at the New York Blood Center. In the months before the actual experiment
began, the vaccine underwent preliminary testing for safety and immune
response on two hundred physicians at New York Medical Center, as well
as on twenty-eight employees of Merck & Co, which made the vaccine.

The first group of men in the actual
trial were inoculated in November 1978. The experiment was confidential.
Each man was given an anonymous identification number, which would be the
only way they could be identified by the investigators. Each man got an
initial dose of vaccine, then a repeat one month after,
and a final inoculation six months later. All were asked to
donate blood samples for two years after the three injections. Over a period
of months, all 1,083 men would be injected. Half the men were
given the experimental vaccine; the other half would serve
as the control group and were given useless placebo injections. In
this double-blind study, neither the men nor the investigators knew who
was getting the vaccine or the placebo.

This experiment ended in September 1980. The success
rate in preventing hepatitis B in the group receiving the vaccine was 92.3%.
Additional experimental hep B vaccine trials, all using gay men as
the guinea pig, were conducted in 1979 and 1980 in Chicago, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Denver and St. Louis.

In May 1981, the men in the placebo group (who did
not receive the vaccine) at the Blood Center were offered
a chance to take the vaccine. As a result, 270 men were inoculated with
the series of three shots and were asked to donate additional blood samples
for two more years. Because men in the vaccine-recipient group
and the placebo group were now both inoculated with the vaccine, it would
no longer be possible to compare the two groups in terms of future HIV
rates. Because the experiment was confidential and anonymous, the fate
of the individual men in terms of acquiring HIV/AIDS in the future,
could never be ascertained. In June 1981, after 41 cases
of a new disease in homosexuals were reported to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta (CDC), the AIDS
epidemic became official.

THE "GAY PLAGUE" BEGINS IN MANHATTAN IN
1979

The first few cases of a new disease characterized by
immunodeficiency, cancer and a previously rare form of pneumonia in young gay
men, were uncovered in Manhattan in 1979. By the end of 1981 there were
160 cumulative cases from New York City; a decade later, 9,000
cases had been reported in NYC. The early cases were termed "gay related
immune deficiency disease," or GRID, for short. Privately, it was
called "the gay plague," with homosexuals dying from "gay
cancer" in the form of Kaposi's sarcoma, and/or a rapidly fatal "gay
pneumonia" caused by a yeast-like fungus.

By the end of 1979, 6.6% of 378 men who had been "hepatitis
B trial participants" or who had donated blood in the experiment at
the Center were already HIV- positive. By 1981, it was 20%! (This was at
a time when the African AIDS epidemic was unknown.) By 1984 over 40% of
the trial participants were HIV-positive (Stevens et al, 1986).
These infection rates were determined in 1985 when the stored gay
blood samples were retested for HIV.

A different (non-vaccine) hepatitis B study,
conducted from 1978 to 1980 at the San Francisco
City Clinic, recruited a cohort of 6,705 homosexuals. By 1982, 41% of
all reported AIDS cases in S.F. were from this cohort. By 1989, 75% of the
cohort was infected with HIV-and 1,479 had developed AIDS (Rutherford
et al, 1990). Activist Tom Keske has posted an essay on his website entitled:
"Was AIDS in the U.S. started intentionally?" He also provides
an incriminating statistical analysis linking the
AIDS outbreak in San Francisco to hepatitis B vaccine experiments conducted
in that city.

In 1984, the CDC was apparently oblivious to the extremely
high rate of HIV/AIDS infection in gay men who participated in the
hepatitis experiments and studies, particularly at a time when the African
AIDS epidemic was still largely unknown. In its Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report, dated Dec 14, 1984, the agency simply concluded
the hepatitis B vaccine was safe-and that "epidemiologic
monitoring of AIDS cases and high-risk groups confirms the lack of AIDS
transmission." When later studies revealed the high incidence of HIV
in these men, as noted above, there was no official comment by the CDC.

To my knowledge, the CDC never tested
the vaccine given to the men at the NY Blood center; and this CDC
1984 report is often cited to refute any connection between gay experiments
and the AIDS outbreak. New York City quickly became the epicenter for the
American epidemic, and has remained so to this day, with more that 100,000
New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS.

SIMIAN VIRUSES AND GAY VACCINE EXPERIMENTS

According to Luc Montagnier in his book "Virus"
(1999), the African AIDS epidemic did not begin until the Autumn
of 1982 at the earliest. There is also no epidemiologic or sexual connection
between gay cases and African AIDS cases.

Was HIV introduced into gay men via a contaminated vaccine? HIV is
not the first simian (i.e., monkey or chimp) virus to infect
mankind. Simian virus-40 (SV40) is a cancer-causing green monkey virus
that contaminated the polio vaccine, and was injected into millions of
people worldwide beginning in the 1950s. SV40 was also used extensively
in animals to induce cancer tumors conducted as part of the largely forgotten
Special Virus Cancer Program (1964-1980). For details of this Program,
see my Internet article entitled 'Blaming gays, blacks, and chimps for
AIDS.'

There are strong connections between simian viruses and
the experimental hep B vaccine, the gay participants, and the outbreak
of AIDS. The vaccine given to gays was designed by Maurice Hilleman
of Merck; and was "developed" by repeatedly injecting it into
chimpanzees, as part of the safety testing of the vaccine. Could a chimp
HIV-like virus have been transferred to the vaccine during the 65-week
manufacturing process?

Humans and chimps have 99% of their active genetic material
in common. As a result, chimps are used extensively in medical research.
In 1974 veterinarians produced an AIDS-like disease in chimps
by taking newborn chimps away from their mothers and feeding them virus-infected
cow's milk. As a result of this interspecies
transfer of virus, the chimps died of immunodeficiency, leukemia, and
pneumocystis pneumonia, later known as the "gay pneumonia"
of AIDS (McClure et al, 1974). Previously, leukemia had never been observed
in chimps.

Also in 1974 the New York Blood Center established Vilab
II, a little-publicized chimp research lab in Robertsville,
Liberia, West Africa. It contained captive chimps, all of which were
purposely infected with hepatitis. In 1978 Vilab began to release some
chimps back into the wild and onto several islands. The Blood
Center announced the closure of the lab in 2006 and the end to chimp research.
Alfred Prince, a hepatitis researcher and virologist
at the Blood Center, was also the Director of Vilab from
1975 to 2000.

Maurice Hilleman was well aware of simian viruses contaminating
vaccines, having personally discovered SV40 in 1960 in polio vaccines.
In a <http://youtube.com/>youtube.com video entitled "Merck
chief brings HIV/AIDS to America, " posted by prolific AIDS origin
researcher Leonard G Horowitz, Hilleman is recorded telling
his colleagues, "I brought African greens [monkeys] in. I didn't know
we were importing AIDS virus at the time [i.e., between 1970-1974]. His
colleagues are heard laughing. Someone says, "It was you who introduced
AIDS virus in." This shocking interview, conducted by Edward Shorter
for WGBH public television, was cut from the TV documentary, based on Shorter's
book "The Health Century" (1987), due to liability issues, undoubtedly
reflecting poorly on Merck where the vaccine for gays was developed. Hilleman's
assertion gives credence to the "conspiratorial" view that the
most likely source of an AIDS-causing simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) virus
was from a laboratory, and not from the wilds of Africa.

The close timeline between the hepatit...
B vaccine trials, as well as the high incidence of HIV/AIDS in the participants, and
the outbreak of the "gay plague" can hardly be denied. There
are few sources, outside of medical journal reports, that reveal details
of the experiment. The best source is June Goodfield's "Quest for
the Killers" (1985), in a chapter entitled 'Vaccine on trial.' She
emphasizes the dangerous aspects of the vaccine experiment, due to the
pooling of the blood, as well as the concern regarding possible contamination
of the vaccine. Hers is the only source revealing that
some of the vaccine was made by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"Was something wrong with the vaccine, possibly contamination? This
was no theoretical fear, contamination having been suspected in one vaccine
batch made by the National Institutes of Health, though never in Merck's."

THE SIMIAN VIRUS ORIGIN OF HIV

Determining the simian ancestry of HIV is not the same
as determining the origin of the AIDS epidemic in America. HIV is emphatically
a "new virus" in humans, although its origin in simians may be
ancient. The American AIDS epidemic clearly began in the late 1970s. The purported
African origin of American AIDS is largely based on the genealogy
of the AIDS virus in Africa. I could never understand why scientists never
looked for a simian ancestor of HIV in the various primate virus labs and
primate colonies in the U.S.

The simian "roots" of HIV depend on who is doing
the genetic analysis. Some researchers claim that HIV has been circulating
in humans since the 1930s, others date it back a century or more. A new
"phylo-geographic" study suggests monkey SIVs are ancient and
date back 32,000 to 75,000 years (Worobey et al, 2010).

The public was first told &...
HIV originated in Africa in green monkeys. This changed in 1999 when
a SIV found in chimpanzees was widely
accepted as the closest ancestor virus of HIV (Gao et al, 1999). Four
years later, geneticists reversed themselves again, claiming HIV
"didn't start its life in chimps" but arose through hybridization
of two monkey strains of SIV that recombined in the chimpanzee host (Bailes
et al, 2003). In other words, the ancestors of HIV were a mix of monkey
immunodeficiency viruses transferred into chimps, which subsequently recombined
to form a new hybrid virus with mixed genetic material. By the
way, chimps are considered apes, have bigger bodies than monkeys, and are
most closely related to humans. Monkeys have tails and are structurally
closer to four-legged animals like cats and dogs.

Lost in all this conflicting genetic mumbo-jumbo, that
few people can comprehend (including myself), was the
fact that extensive mixing of simian viruses and the creation
of hybrid viruses was going on for years in labs around the
world in the years immediately preceding AIDS. This, in fact, is the basis
of the AIDS "conspiracy theory," which proposes that...
ancestor of HIV most likely originated in animal species transfer experiments
in a virus laboratory. Yet this explanation is never considered
by scientists. These genetic studies of HIV origin,
widely reported in the major media, continue to reinforce the
public perception that HIV/AIDS started in Africa.

There is no attempt made here to fully explain the origin
of the horrible outbreak of AIDS in Africa beginning around 1983. This
will up to future medical historians to unravel. Suffice it to say that
sub-Saharan Africa has been the testing ground for pharmaceuticals
and vaccines for many decades, and for massive vaccine programs with reuse
of needles which could also spread HIV from person to person.

In "AIDS and the Doctors of Death" (1988), I
mentioned a London Times explosive front page article connecting AIDS
to extensive vaccine programs in Africa, and entitled "Smallpox
vaccine triggered AIDS virus" (May 11, 1987). Robert Gallo, the co-discoverer
of HIV, was quoted as saying, "The link between the WHO program and
the epidemic is an interesting and important hypothesis. I cannot say it
actually happened, but I have been saying for some years that the use of
live vaccines such as that used for smallpox can activate a dormant infection
such as HIV." The full Times story never appeared
in the major media in the U.S., but is available online.

Researchers have known for a long time that the particular
strain of HIV that infected American gays is "subtype
B." The prevalent strains in Africa are different, again
suggesting that American AIDS cases did not come from Africa cases. Unlike
some strains in Africa, which date back to the 1930s, a recent study by
Perez-Losada at al (2010), indicates "subtype B" is quite new,
dating back to around 1968, a decade before the hep B experiment. Max
Essex claims the American B strain has an affinity for anal tissue and is more easily
transmitted by homosexual contact and intravenous drug use, whereas the
HIV subtypes in Africa tend to fuel heterosexual epidemics via a vaginal
mucosal route.

THE LAB ORIGIN OF HIV IN AMERICA

Hilleman's hepatitis B vaccine was
intentionally made from the pooled blood of 300 highly sexually-active
gay and intravenous drug abusers in Manhattan. These men were the
carriers of the hepatitis virus Hilleman required
to manufacture his vaccine. As mentioned, the vaccine was developed in
chimps, and took 65 weeks to make. His vaccine brew was collected in 1977.
The specific year is important because there are no reports of AIDS cases at
that time; and no stored American blood testing positive for
HIV before that year.

In "Vaccinated" (2007) Paul Offit,
a pediatrician and vaccine developer who works for
Merck, theorizes that although "HIV was likely present in the blood
from which he made early preparations of his vaccine, Hilleman's choice
of pepsin, urea, and formaldehyde had completely destroyed it."

In "Vaccinated," Offit is critical of my AIDS
origin research. He writes, "The publisher of Alan Cantwell's
book, Aries Rising Press, was founded by Cantwell himself to promote his
uninformed views on the origin of the AIDS epidemic." Offit claims the
American blood supply was "heavily contaminated" with HIV in
the mid-1970s. He offers no documentation for this statement, nor are
there any studies (or epidemic AIDS cases) which document this.

The earliest HIV-positive blood specimens in the American epidemic were
uncovered in 1978-they are those deposited into the Blood Center by gay
participants of the hep B experiment. There is no record of any other stored
blood in the U.S testing positive for HIV, with one exception. According
to "Virus Hunters of the CDC" (1996), author Joseph McCormick
states six hundred blood specimens from Zaire, Africa, were sent to
the CDC in 1976 during the Ebola virus outbreak. When re-tested
in the mid-1980s for HIV, five of the specimens were positive. One has
to wonder if other labs in the U.S were also harboring HIV-infected African
blood used in animal (or human) research.

Unlike Offit, I have never promoted the idea that HIV
was contained in Hilleman's blood brew in 1977. Yet
Offit insists HIV first entered the U.S. a few years before Hilleman
began working on his vaccine. He notes Hilleman would be "the first
(and last) to use human blood to make a vaccine. He didn't know until years
later that the blood was heavily contaminated
with HIV."

Offit makes no mention of Hilleman importing
HIV/AIDS via his monkeys and chimps, nor does he cite the 20% HIV infection
rate of the men who participated in the trial at the Blood Center in 1981.
He simply assures us the vaccine given to gay men was safe and free of
HIV.

UNETHICAL MEDICAL EXPERIMENTATION

The development of a hepatitis B vaccine has
a dark history. Less than a decade before the gay experiment, sixty mentally
retarded children at Willowbrook State School, on Staten Island, NY, were
fed live hepatitis B virus. In another experiment, the serum from a patient
with hepatitis B was injected intravenously into
25 retarded children with dire results. They sickened, some severely,
and turned yellow with jaundice. According to Hilleman, "They were
the most unethical medical experiments ever performed in children in the
Unites States."

It is indeed shameful to read the history of covert human
experimentation over the past decades, which likely continues up to the
present. Most appalling were "the human radiation experiments"
of the Cold War era affecting millions of unsuspecting Americans, and extending
into the mid-1970s. For all the morbid details, google: human medical experimentation.

I will mention only one recent revelation (2010) uncovered
by Susan Reverby, quite by accident, while researching the
notorious Tuskegee Syphilis study. According to the Wikipedia
entry, "In a 1946 to 1948 study in Guatemala, U.S. researchers
used prostitutes to infect prison inmates, insane asylum patients, and
Guatemalan soldiers with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases,
in order to test the effectiveness of penicillin in treating sexually transmitted
diseases. They later tried infecting people with "direct inoculations
made from syphilis bacteria poured into the men's penises and on forearms
and faces that were slightly abraded . . . or in a few cases through spinal
punctures. The study was sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service,
the National Institutes of Health and the Pan American Health Sanitary
Bureau (now the World Health Organization's Pan American Health Organization)
and the Guatemalan government.

Further details of the experiment that recruited 5,500
people and infected 1,300 people (including orphaned children) with sexually
transmitted diseases were released on August 30, 2011. In one instance,
a dying woman was deliberately infected with gonorrhea bacteria in her
eyes and elsewhere. Seven women with epilepsy were injected with syphilis
germs into the back of the spine, resulting in bacterial meningitis in
all cases. Eighty-three people died. The U.S. Public Health Service is
the former name of the CDC. The fact that this government
study was initiated by both the CDC and the NIH, the two leading and most
prestigious health organizations in America, is chilling.

When asked about the Guatemala experiment, Harold Jaffe of
the CDC was quoted as saying: "Are there other stories that haven't
come to light? We don't want to feed on the paranoia in the media, for
example, of biological warfare, or AIDS as a cooked-up infection in a foreign
country, but stories like this have to remind people of these stories"
('Presidential panel slams 1940s Guatemalan STD study,' by Louisa
Kasdon, posted on the BU.edu website, Aug 31, 2011). Jaffe has been the
top officer at the CDC covering AIDS since the very beginning. However,
this is the first time I ever heard a CDC official blaming AIDS on a "cooked-up
infection in a foreign country."

SIMIAN VIRUSES AND VACCINES

Vaccines are big business with worldwide sales of 25 billion;
and AIDS has spawned a huge industry as well. A CBS news report (Jan 8,
2010) declared: "Got AIDS? Lifetime cost: $618,900."

I am not anti-vaccine, although I would like to know exactly
how a vaccine is produced-from start to finish-before it is injected into
me. And such knowledge is impossible to obtain, due to proprietary concerns
of the manufacturers. Ordinarily, I decline vaccines unless absolutely
necessary. I stopped taking yearly flu shots in 1991 when I read in The
New York Times that some people were testing HIV-positive after injection
with the "Beijing flu" shot that year. This was deemed to be
a false-positive reaction, but the CDC was not sure what was causing
the peculiar result.

Childhood vaccinations are necessary, of course, to
prevent certain diseases. And more and more pediatricians are refusing
to treat children whose parents refuse to vaccinate them according to the
prescribed schedule, which includes 11 vaccines, and as many as 20 shots
by 2 years of age (Offit et al, 2002). For some of my personal negative
views on vaccines, see 'Vexing over vaccines' on the net.

For anyone who thinks that vaccine makers are always your
friend, I would recommend "The Virus and the Vaccine:
The True Story of a Cancer-Causing Monkey Virus, Contaminated Polio Vaccine,
and the Millions of Americans Exposed" by Debbie Bookchin and Jim
Schumacher (2004). They explore the history of the polio vaccine, the contamination
problems with SV40 , the ensuing vaccine-related cancer problems, and the
government's cover-up of the problem over the past three decades. I discovered
that federal regulations require only that vaccine manufacturers screen
for viruses by observing the effects of viruses on tissue cell cultures,
as viewed with an ordinary light microscope. This was surprising to me
because viruses are too small to be seen microscopically. Thus, vaccines
are not directly tested for virus contamination, but are tested indirectly
with a light microscope. Apparently virus contamination of vaccine lots
is suspected only if cells (viewed in the light microscope) undergo evidence
of viral infection. If a contaminating virus in a vaccine has no effect
on cells, this testing procedure would obviously be ineffective.

When the gay experiments ended in 1981, HIV was already
in the nation's blood supply. And there was no way to test for it. Within
a year, the disease was no longer confined to male homosexuals. It was
clearly an STD that could also be transmitted by body fluids and by blood
transfusion. In 1982 the first AIDS
cases in blood transfusion recipients and hemophiliacs were recorded.

So why were gay men the only sexually-active Americans
originally infected with HIV? In my view, the most likely explanation is the&nb...
was contaminated with an SIV that escaped detection during the long and
dangerous manufacturing process, which included repeated safety test in
chimpanzees. An alternate explanation is that a laboratory-derived SIV
was introduced deliberately as a genocidal agent against gay people that
would eventually spread to the "general population." In other
words, a covert Guatemala-type STD experiment using gays as guinea pigs.

Sometimes, despite great care in the manufacturing process,
a virus will slip through and wreak havoc. Such was the case with Cutter
Laboratories in Berkeley, California, in 1957 with their polio
vaccine that was accidentally contaminated with a live, virulent polio
virus. The result was 200,000 infected people. Seventy thousand people
became ill; 200 were permanently paralyzed; and 10 died, according to
Offit's "The Cutter Incident" (2005).

Once HIV was seeded into gays, it could easily spread
sexually and through body fluids. A decade before the epidemic, in a lab
accident involving green monkeys in 1967, a highly dangerous simian hemorrhagic
virus infected 31 workers in a vaccine
facility in Marburg, Germany, resulting in 7 deaths. In several instances,
the virus was transferred to sexual partners. Four cases were
acquired by hospital personnel caring for victims. Infection in these instances
most probably was incurred through contact with the patients' blood (Luby
and Sanders, 1969).

Since 1984, gay men have been excluded from donating blood.
This policy includes any man who has had sex with another man since 1977.
This was the year Hilleman began work on his vaccine made from pooled blood.
This also is the "accepted" year when HIV first entered the nation's
blood supply, although the source of this SIV has never been determined.
However, the most likely source was close by- in primates held
in laboratories and primate centers. Or in African blood samples,
like those stored at the CDC.

THE MAN-MADE ORIGIN OF AIDS

There is a great deal of evidence pointing to AIDS as
a man-made disease on the Internet, but the theory is routinely pooh-poohed
as paranoia and conspiracy theory. See the Wikipedia page
entitled 'Discredited AIDS origin theories.' However, it is fact that
there was fear concerning the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine. When the
commercial vaccine made by Abbott Laboratories became available to the
public, it was unpopular. Many health professionals refused the vaccine
because it was made from pooled gay blood; and they were
afraid the vaccine could transmit AIDS. As a result, a new
vaccine was eventually engineered using yeast cells instead of human
blood.

Every African-American has heard the rumor that AIDS was
engineered to kill off the black race.
Thirty percent of blacks in New York City polled
by The New York Times (October 29, 1990) actually believed that AIDS might
be an ethno-specific bio-weapon designed in a laboratory to
wipe them out.

George W Merck, president of Merck during World War 2,
was America's biological weapons industry director. According to Leonard
Horowitz's, New York University Medical Center was listed among
the top biological weapons contracting labs by 1969. The NY Blood Center
is affiliated with NYUMC. In 1971 a large part of
the Army's biological warfare unit at Fort Detrick was transferred over
to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) by president Richard Nixon. As
a result, bio-warfare experimentation went under cover at the NCI, which
is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

As noted, Goodfield mentions that
the NIH made part of the hep B vaccine used on gays, and contamination was
suspected. In his later years, Hilleman himself wrote extensive articles
on biological warfare, convinced that vaccines could be developed to protect
people against bioterrorism.

In the Spring of 1986, Robert Strecker, was promoting
his view of AIDS as a "bio-attack" against humanity. He
briefly received negative media attention in TIME magazine ('Infectious
propaganda', November 17, 1986). When I asked how it was possible
for AIDS to start as a purely gay disease, when such an event
was biologically improbable, he told me: "Because they put it there.
Do you recall the hepatitis B vaccine trials in gay men? That's
where the virus was introduced."

After a quarter century of study, Strecker's explanation
still makes more sense to me that any other theory of AIDS origin. Ridiculous
stories like "Patient Zero" and a handful of suspected "old
cases" of so-called AIDS from the 1950s and 60s were
sensationalized by the media in an attempt to show that AIDS existed long
before the actual epidemic. Indeed, very rare cases of Kaposi's sarcoma
("gay cancer") and pneumocystis pneumonia have always existed,
but never in epidemic form, nor as an STD. In my view, these reports reeked
of misinformation and disinformation; and they served to obfuscate the
real origin connected to government experiments conducted on gay men.

Despite my intense interest in this, I have discovered
over the past three decades that most
people are not interested in AIDS and where it came from. The idea of
man-made AIDS, I suspect, is simply too painful for people to consider.
In essence, the subject is taboo. However, it seems to me that after 25
million AIDS deaths worldwide, and over 500,000 dead Americans, that some
better explanation is required than merely blaming a "species jumping"
monkey virus in the African jungle-or gay sex.

This was most evident in April, 2008, when the outspoken
Reverend Jeremiah Wright accused the government of inventing the AIDS
virus as a genocide program against people of color. As the spiritual advisor to
Barack Obama, Wright almost derailed Obama's run for the presidency.
The future president quickly disassociated himself
from his former pastor, and the accusation was quickly squelched by the
major media without discussion. Wright had read Horowitz's
book on man-made AIDS, "Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola" (1996).
He had carefully studied the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study, and he bluntly
told the media. "I believe our government is
capable of doing anything."

The rumor that AIDS is a man-made
disease will never go away. The reason is simple: It is the most logical explanation
of how and why the AIDS epidemic first erupted as the "gay plague"
among the most hated minority in America.
