Rabies Past Present in Scientific Review---Millicent Morden (Physician & Surgeon)
"In the course of a vaccination trial that took place in France on October 1st, 1981, Professor Mercie, former director of the glamorous Pasteur Institute, was asked why the Institute kept producing and selling its anti-'flu vaccine despite its recognized worthlessness. Professor Mercie's candid reply: 'Because it helps financing the Institute's research'." - (Hans Ruesch, Naked Empress.)
CJD warnings ignored
A GROWTH hormone infected with cancer was dis-tributed to patients in France despite
warnings that it could cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. More than 60 French children with
growth problems who received the hormone have since died from CJD.
The Pasteur Institute, France's prestigious medical laboratory, was yesterday accused of
continuing to sell the product even though doctors had warned of the dangers. Dr Daniel
Hartmann, a biologist who worked at the institute for 20 years, said: "Even after
cancer cells were found in batches of hormones about to go on the market, our management
refused to destroy them. Instead, they were sent out to hospitals for use on
patients."
"Kary Mullis, Nobel
laureate in chemistry 1993 and inventor of the polymerase chain reaction, needed
a reference for "the generally known fact" that HIV was the cause of AIDS. While
working on a project he became aware that he didn´t know a scientific reference
for the statement he had just written down: HIV is the probable cause of AIDS.
So he asked the next virologist at the table after that basic paper. The
virologist told Mullis, he wouldn´t need a reference in this case; after all,
everyone knows that HIV leads to AIDS. Kary Mullis disagreed and thought such an
important discovery should be published in some paper. He learnt soon that it
was impossible to find such a paper. Instead, he was pointed to the press
conference of 1983 over and over again.
One day, he got the opportunity to
talk to Luc Montagnier from the Pasteur Institute, the [claimed] discoverer of
the virus, during an event in San Diego. HE should know the answer. Confronted
with Mullis´question, Montagnier said: "Why don´t you cite the report of the CDC
(Centers of Disease Control)?" Mullis answered: "This report doesn´t address the
question whether or not HIV is the cause of AIDS" - "Right", Montagnier
admitted, "but maybe you could cite the SIV study (Simian Immunedeficiency
Virus, which is very similar to HIV)." That paper didn´t convince Mullis either,
because the monkeys developed different diseases, also because the virus wasn´t
the same one, and thirdly, because the paper had been published only a few
months before. He looked for the original paper that should demonstrate in
whatever form that HIV was the cause of AIDS. At that point, Montagnier´s answer
consisted of running away, to greet a group on the other side of the room.
I had a similar experience this
year [2000] in South Africa on the AIDS Advisory Panel, which had been initiated
by president Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki had invited 33 scientists from all over the
world in order to shed light on the AIDS problem in his country. Among them were
22 scientists who believed in the virus hypothesis, and 11 so-called dissidents
(which I belong to), who cast doubt on the virus hypothesis and rather assume
that AIDS in Africa is the result of increasing poverty, while AIDS in the
developed countries is the result of drugs, and above all the result of the
therapy against AIDS (AZT) I asked Montagnier what convinced
him that AIDS is caused by a virus. Montagnier answered that over the years
apparently an effective treatment has been developed, and this was proof enough
for HIV leading to AIDS. In other words, the virologists have no virological
arguments for the theory that HIV leads to AIDS. Instead, they get the proof for
their hypotheses from physicians, who give a positive feedback by saying "Of
course AIDS is a viral disease that responds to antiviral treatment."
