A Way Out
Some suggestions for a paradigm shift
In December 2022, I published a post about the HIV disaster titled “This is the problem.” Here is an excerpt:
The entire epidemic has been misrepresented thanks to a series of sleight of hand maneuvers that have been happening since 1981. Perhaps the most scandalous — and effective — was Margaret Heckler and Bob Gallo’s 1984 press conference announcing that “the probable cause of AIDS has been found.” Not a single scientific paper had been published at that time implicating HIV in the aetiology of AIDS, yet that press conference cemented in minds the world over that The Science had Spoken. The papers that were later published in support of that statement demonstrated at best a weak to moderate correlation between the presence of HIV genetic material (never mind that correlation can never be invoked to prove causation), but the die had been cast.
The entire history of AIDS research is riddled with examples of wishful thinking on the part of the researchers. From the ridiculously inaccurate “HIV antibody tests” to AZT to combination therapy to PrEP, it is clear that decisions directly affecting patients are made with very little information regarding the efficacies and safety profiles of these therapies.
The “probable cause of AIDS” was announced 38 years ago, and it was this disastrous statement that has led us to the mess we now find ourselves in. Every case study, every clinical trial, every model constructed, depended upon the veracity of Gallo ‘s statement, and so over the years, a house has been constructed on sand. We can see it giving way but we cannot take that final step of recognizing the simple fact that HIV does not cause AIDS. It’s time.
So, what is the solution?
In the afterword of The Real AIDS Epidemic , one thing I did was to suggest several strategic actions that could be made to correct the trajectory we have been on for far too long, a trajectory that has been nearly cemented into place by the tragic HIV mistake. They include the following:
Congressional hearings to honestly and thoroughly examine the history of fraud and incompetence in AIDS research must be initiated.
There should be a Reproducibility Project in AIDS research that takes a careful look at whether the seminal findings on which the HIV AIDS and the treatment and prevention program (whether via HAART or PrEP) were based are reproducible, and if not, retractions must be sought. A reader suggested that the seminal papers—Gallo et al 1984, Levy, Weiss, Burke, and so on—be retracted but not removed from electronic sources; and that each page be stamped with the word “RETRACTED”, which I think is a very intriguing idea.
Class action lawsuits must be launched to obtain restitution for individuals that have been harmed by the antibody tests and the viral load test—both laboratory tests that might better be classified as “defective products.”
Class action lawsuits must also be launched—and in some cases, continued—to obtain compensation for those who have been harmed by HAART and PrEP. This is already happening.
AIDS funding must be freed from the laser focused chokehold of the “HIV only” theory. Specifically, funding must be made available to study non HIV AIDS, and issues pertinent such as the phenomenon of endogenous retroviruses capable of encoding superantigens, and other viruses known to be involved in acquired immune deficiency such as Epstein Barr virus and HHV6. The list goes on.
However, none of these will be possible without the enlightenment and cooperation of those that promote the HIV AIDS hypothesis, and those that have been harmed by it.
Journalists and the media need to widen their focus and reconsider the lockstep repetition of sound bites proclaimed by the public health authorities. A higher level of numeracy among “health journalists” is urgently required to assist in this.
Much of the Gay community needs to recognize that they are victims of a type of Stockholm Syndrome at the hands of “AIDS activists” and the pharmaceutical industry. This is a difficult one, but it must happen or the PrEP pushers will get their way and sacrifice an entire generation to the potentially disastrous public health experiment of using HIV medications as HIV vaccines.
The African American community must be reminded of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment and the drug trials at the Incarnation Children’s Center. The African American community, as well as the Gay community, must realize that the public health czars are not their friends.
I would love to hear what my readers think of these suggestions. Are there any other strategies you can think of that can help shift the paradigm? I’d love to hear your input.
Buy my new book here.
The move away from the “kill the germs” strategy is underway. We have about 37 trillion bacteria fungi and viruses on and in our bodies at all times as part of our natural healthy biome. Fear of illness, fear of infection, and fear of death are intrinsic parts of being human. However, when these fears are amplified people are much more likely to join in fervently unhealthy “Crowd psychology“.
These events of group psychological “mass formation“ have happened throughout human history. HIV and covid-19 are just the latest in an unending stream of infection fears that result in isolation, quarantine, and abandonment of sick people.
My approach is to constantly remind people that our own healing systems work quite well, especially if they are supported instead of being undermined. A great way to undermine them is to yell “supervirus“,, and then follow this up with strict protocols of isolation, “PPE”, and solitary confinement
Offering support and “TLC“ to people who are ill will help counter this narrative, one person at a time. All of us get sick now and then, as do our close friends and family, so there are lots of opportunities :-).
I just finished reading your book on Kindle! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing something beneficial to the world but that probably hasn’t given you much in return. For context, I *am* gay (Although it's annoying to see people parade around with their sexuality as their personality and identity.)
I have an undergraduate degree in applied mathematics, and studied pure mathematics in my first three years before picking up computer science courses. I’ve read many many AIDS dissident books and I truly appreciate your background and perspective. I always loved mathematics from a young age, and I think it was my understanding that objective truth is only found in mathematics. Or rather, the study of mathematic acknowledges truth is built only on chosen axioms and assumptions.
I already knew your book was worth the read when I read your comments on proof by contradiction in the preface. The HIV-AIDS hypothesis and COVID both present a house of cards of bullshit. When trying to convince people in the last 3 years of the lies surrounding COVID, I had to structure my arguments with the assumptions as a disclaimer: "Let’s assume Covid exists and the tests work, then X cannot be true."
Everyday I deal with the bifurcation of my reality and that of virtually all other gay men. The HIV/AIDS paradigm has become engrained in gay culture. For example, this past winter, the gay village in Toronto had 5 massive billboards spanning just two blocks for HIV medication. There are PrEP ads all over the village, and targeted in social media, as well as dating apps like Grindr. I am building a little photography portfolio of the insanity.
I'd like to offer my two cents on the way out...
First, one of the greatest barriers is the egotistic nature of the gay community (and humans) and their inability to recognize when they have been duped.
Second, as you recently pointed out in the post about RFK Jr's book, people largely ignore the HIV/AIDS debate. This should not be understated, and has implications outside of HIV / AIDS.
For example, in the summer 2022, there was a propaganda campaign surrounding monkey pox. I saw with my own eyes all of my gay friends become fearful of a disease that barely seemed to exist. Then, the monkey pox vaccine campaign started, and once again, virtually all gay men lined up at clinics in Ontario (and all over the world) to get the monkey pox vaccine. One of my friends went to New York to get a second one. The background and history of the monkey pox vaccine is not too different from the recent COVID vaccines, and not surprisingly, one of my good friends had to go to the hospital from side effects from the monkey pox vaccine. Fortunately, he is fine now.
All of this insanity has happened unbeknownst to the majority of the population. Most people didn’t pay attention to monkey pox. Yet all over the world the gay community is propagandized with it. I’ve actually visited upwards of 10 different major metros since summer of 2022, and monkey pox posters can be seen in the gay clubs and institutions. (Not too mention PrEP ads.)
This is all to say that even if the scientific community were to turn around an do right with the HIV/AIDS crisis, the gay community would probably reject it. The obsession over identity, which has created an easily controlled and targeted demographic, that self identifies and loves their victim hood, is the biggest barrier to the way out in my opinion.
