AIDS Science Inconsistencies
by John Kirkham
16th January 2003.
All the inconsistencies below are substantiated by independent
research.
The persistence of the HIV=AIDS=Death dogma is truly astonishing,
in the face of so many specific scientific flaws. |
|
|
| 1 |
|
A new medical definition (Idiopathic
CD4+ T-cell lymphocytopenia) was created to avoid the fact that
AIDS occurs in the absence of HIV |
|
| 2 |
|
HIV does not satisfy Koch's postulates, the criteria
that must be met in order to prove that a microbe causes a disease |
|
| 3 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs, including protease inhibitors, destroy
T-cells |
|
| 4 |
|
Septrin (also called Septra, Bactrim, Co-trimoxazole) and anti-HIV
drugs destroy mitochondria |
|
| 5 |
|
The PCP (Pneumocystis Carinii pneumonia) fungus
becomes resistant to Septrin |
|
| 6 |
|
Recreational drugs (heroin, poppers, crystal met, ecstasy,
cocaine) reduce CD4 cell numbers |
|
| 7 |
|
HIV positive patients recover after they stop taking
drugs |
|
| 8 |
|
Recreational drugs cause AIDS-defining diseases |
|
| 9 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs cause AIDS-defining diseases |
|
| 10 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs inhibit human enzymes |
|
| 11 |
|
HIV positive Africans in dire poverty in Uganda and no access
to anti-HIV drugs lived as long as HIV positives in the west who
took anti-HIV drugs |
|
| 12 |
|
There are no comparative studies of survival in HIV negatives
and combo-free HIV positive heterosexuals with no other risk factors |
|
| 13 |
|
Only 38% of healthy long-term positives had ever used AZT or
other nuleoside analogs Compared with 94% of progressors |
|
| 14 |
|
Decreases in AIDS cases preceded the introduction of new drug
treatments (Dec 1995) by three full years |
|
| 15 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs have anti-microbial effects |
|
| 16 |
|
The introduction of AZT (1987) did not cause a decline in the
AIDS death rate |
|
| 17 |
|
In
the only long term trial of AZT (The Concorde study) 172 participants
died, 169 while taking AZT, 3 while on placebo |
|
| 18 |
|
Nucleoside analog drugs suppress/destroy the bone marrow where
all immune system cells are born |
|
| 19 |
|
HIV+ children born to AZT treated mothers had a higher probability
of developing severe disease or severe immunsuppression |
|
| 20 |
|
"Drug holidays" recover immune responses |
|
| 21 |
|
AZT caused the same transient increase in CD4 count in HIV
negatives as in HIV positives |
|
| 22 |
|
There are no controlled studies showing that AIDS occurs in
the absence of all other possible non-HIV causal factors |
|
| 23 |
|
Long-living, healthy, drug-free HIV positives are mostly ignored
by AIDS researchers |
|
| 24 |
|
Apart from the early (fraudulent) AZT studies and the Concorde
study no efficacy studies compare drugs with placebo |
|
| 25 |
|
There are well documented, non-HIV causes for every AIDS disease |
|
| 26 |
|
The incidence of AIDS-defining diseases among Western non-drug
users has not been shown to exceed national backgrounds |
|
| 27 |
|
Early AIDS coincided with the cumulative effects of unprecedented,
intense use of volatile nitrite (poppers) as an aphrodisiac marketed
almost exclusively to homosexuals |
|
| 28 |
|
AIDS can be treated effectively without anti-HIV drugs |
|
| 29 |
|
On
average, viral load overestimates infectious HIV by a factor of
60,000 |
|
| 30 |
|
Even a PCR method that can detect 1 infected cell in 100000
found very little HIV DNA in HIV positives |
|
| 31 |
|
HIV could not be cultured from people with a detectable viral
load |
|
| 32 |
|
HIV has never been properly isolated |
|
| 33 |
|
After many billions of dollars of research effort over 20 years,
HIV scientists still cannot explain how HIV causes AIDS |
|
| 34 |
|
After many billions of dollars of research effort over 20 years
there is no vaccine and no cure, there are only toxic drugs |
|
| 35 |
|
There was no increase in HIV seroprevalence outside risk groups
in the UK despite record STD rates and teenage pregnancy rates
|
|
| 36 |
|
HIV DNA was found to be constant from the time of seroconversion,
but CD4 count continually went down |
|
| 37 |
|
CD4 count goes down and viral load goes up while on the anti-HIV
drugs |
|
| 38 |
|
AZT is hardly triphosphorylated by the body so it cannot possibly
have an anti-HIV effect |
|
| 39 |
|
AZT has no effect on HIV DNA but makes viral load (HIV RNA)
go down |
|
| 40 |
|
Research throughout the 1970s showed that retroviruses do not
kill cells |
|
| 41 |
|
The probability of heterosexual transmission of HIV was found
to be very low (1 in a 1000) |
|
| 42 |
|
HIV antibody tests give repeated false positives and seroreversions
can occur |
|
| 43 |
|
HIV tests are sensitive to nonspecific antibody binding |
|
| 44 |
|
HIV tests involve an arbitrary dilution factor, everyone tests
positive (because of nonspecific antibody binding) if their serum
is undiluted |
|
| 45 |
|
All the proteins used in the HIV test are associated with retroviral
genes that are found naturally (endogenous) in all humans |
|
| 46 |
|
Endogenous retroviruses can generate immune responses in humans
|
|
| 47 |
|
None of the HIV proteins tested for have been proven to belong
to HIV |
|
| 48 |
|
There are over 60 different conditions, including pregnancy,
that have been known to generate false positives on the HIV test |
|
| 49 |
|
The Elisa, Western Blot and PCR tests for HIV all carry disclaimers
nullifying their detection of HIV |
|
| 50 |
|
The criteria for HIV-positivity used in the antibody tests
varies between countries and between organizations within a country
and can produce indeterminate (neither positive or negative) results |
|
| 51 |
|
The viral load PCR primers were found to be nonspecific for
"HIV" genetic sequences |
|
| 52 |
|
The viral load test gives false negatives |
|
| 53 |
|
The viral load test gives false positives |
|
| 54 |
|
The viral load test has low reproducibility |
|
| 55 |
|
Direct measurements showed no correlation between viral load
and CD4 count |
|
| 56 |
|
Many conditions cause reduced CD4 counts |
|
| 57 |
|
CD4 counts between 200 and 300 have been observed in healthy
HIV negatives |
|
| 58 |
|
There are no studies comparing CD4 cell variations in combo-free
HIV positives (with no risk factors) and HIV negatives |
|
| 59 |
|
According to the AIDS establishment, a heterosexual AIDS "epidemic"
of African origin started off in the West as a homosexual "epidemic" |
|
| 60 |
|
In
1985 HIV incidence in Southern Africa was confined to homosexuals
who had been to the US and those who had had sex with them |
|
| 61 |
|
The USA was found to be the world's most sexually promiscuous
nation |
|
| 62 |
|
Condoms (made from polyisoprene) have holes in much larger
than HIV |
|
| 63 |
|
Reducing STD incidence in Africa did not reduce the rate of
HIV seroconversion *
|
|
| 64 |
|
Only a minute proportion of Africans have actually been tested
for HIV, seroprevalence estimates are derived from extrapolations
based on unrepresentative samples from maternity clinics |
|
| 65 |
|
In
Africa a single positive ELISA test or even a single "rapid" (saliva/urine)
test is considered proof of HIV infection, "proof" in the developed
world requires a series of tests |
|
| 66 |
|
HIV seroprevalence was found to be much lower in South African
prisons than in the general population |
|
| 67 |
|
The vast majority of African "AIDS patients" tested HIV negative |
|
| 68 |
|
In
"AIDS ravaged" Zambia since 1980 the population has increased
and even the rate of increase in population has increased! |
|
| 69 |
|
In
"AIDS ravaged" South Africa many coffin makers are either doing
a slack trade or have gone out of business |
|
| 70 |
|
The total number of AIDS cases in Africa consists almost entirely
of estimated cases rather than known, registered cases |
|
| 71 |
|
PCP is the typical AIDS defining disease in Western adults
but it is almost entirely confined to young children in Africa |
|
| 72 |
|
There is no Western heterosexual AIDS epidemic |
|
| 73 |
|
IVDUs who consistently used a clean needle exchange program
were 10.2 to 22.9 times MORE likely to test HIV positive than
nonusers |
|
| 74 |
|
Non-human primates "progress" to AIDS (SAIDS) much quicker
than humans do |
|
| 75 |
|
SIV does not cause SAIDS in wild primate populations |
|
| 76 |
|
SIV seroprevalence is too low in wild primate populations to
account for SIV resistance in these populations |
|
| 77 |
|
SIV seroprevalence in captive SIV naïve primate populations
was found to be very low |
|
| 78 |
|
Until the early 1930s many thousands of European men received
transplants from chimpanzees and did not get AIDS |
|
| 79 |
|
Uganda study showed HIV-positivity did not indicate a new cause
of disease, only decreased mortality in HIV negatives |
|
| 80 |
|
One thousand medical staff a year accidentally contract hepatitis
from needles yet by 1998 there were no documented cases of surgeons
or emergency medical technicians/paramedics getting AIDS, or even
HIV, from occupational exposure |
|
| 81 |
|
All AIDS patients have lowered levels of glutathione, the major
water soluble intracellular antioxidant |
|
| 82 |
|
The antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine inhibits "HIV replication"
|
|
| 83 |
|
Reactive oxygen species are implicated in the induction of
HIV expression and cell death |
|
| 84 |
|
Treatment with oxidizing, mitogenic***
agents is necessary for HIV "isolation" from cell culture |
|
| 85 |
|
Rectally deposited sperm can be immunosuppressive, mitogenic,
oxidizing and a stimulator of antigen production |
|
| 86 |
|
Low T-cell counts were shown to occur before HIV seroconversion
and to predict seroconversion |
|
| 87 |
|
HIV-like genetic sequences have been found in the HIV negative
human genome |
|
| 88 |
|
Epitopes**
of HIV regulatory proteins tat, rev and nef are expressed in normal
human tissue |
|
| 89 |
|
Toxic intracellular stresses can create novel genetic sequences |
|
| 90 |
|
HIV showed over 40% variation in an essential gene (protease)
sequence (103) |
|
| 91 |
|
Foreign protein transfusions were found to be immune suppressive
|
|
| 92 |
|
Hemophiliacs can have hypergammaglobulinaemia which can cause
false HIV positive test results |
|
| 93 |
|
Up
to 99.9% of HIV genomes in plasma may be defective |
|
| 94 |
|
Mortality in hemophiliacs began to increase in exactly the
same year they began taking AZT |
|
| 95 |
|
The AIDS risk of hemophiliacs on AZT was 4.5 times higher,
and mortality 2.4 times higher, than untreated controls |
|
| 96 |
|
Infectious HIV (a delicate virus) does not survive the Factor
VIII preparation process |
|
| 97 |
|
HIV theorists have made incorrect predictions throughout the
HIV era |
|
| 98 |
|
Corticosteroids and endogenous cortisol suppress cellular immune
responses and cortisol destroys immature T-cells |
|
| 99 |
|
Effective cellular immunity relies upon nitric oxide gas defense,
see for example Eur. J. Immunol. 2002, 32(5):1455-63 |
|
| 100 |
|
AIDS spreads non-exponentially, unlike infectious disease |
|
|
These
inconsistencies have been researched and compiled by John
Kirkham, who
has a Master of Research Degree in Science and has been peer-review
published.
