The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis.

[Sheri Nakken]

So - time will time, now won't it.
It often takes a long time to get rid of establishment thinking and in this day and age of pHARMa control, it may take longer than a long time.

As for me, I will continue to question and read all I can.

"It is widely believed by the general public that a retrovirus called HIV causes the group of diseases called AIDS. Many biochemical scientists now question this hypothesis. We propose that a thorough reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis be conducted by a suitable independent group. We further propose that critical epidemiological studies be devised and undertaken."

For political reasons, the AIDS establishment has refused to fund a single scientific study designed to resolve the scientific controversy as outlined by the statement above.

In 1987, Dr. Peter Duesberg published a paper on cancer research in which he made the case, almost as an aside, that HIV (a retrovirus, the same class of virus suspected at the time to cause cancer) cannot be the cause of AIDS.

Four years later, in 1991, after mounting criticism over Duesberg?s position, and simultaneous support from a growing number of scientists who felt that HIV science just didn?t add up, a number of scientists formed ?The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis? (usually shortened to simply "The Group"), and crafted a letter for submission to the editors of Nature, Science, The Lancet, and The New England Journal of Medicine, all of whom refused to publish the letter.

Yet another four years later, The Group was able to have this statement, signed by 32 scientists with advanced medical degrees, published in Science (17 Feb. 1995, vol. 267, pp. 945-946):
Since this letter was published, over 2,100 people have signed their names in agreement to this statement. This list comprises "The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis."

Also since this statement was published, The Group established a long-running newsletter titled " Rethinking AIDS " (renamed "Reappraising AIDS" for a time, and then back again), and subsequently established itself as a 501(3)(c) [non-profit] organization, with the official combined name: "Rethinking AIDS: The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis." As a result of the newsletter's name and its synonymity with the organization, The Group is also known as "RA".

A subset of the 2,100 signatories comprise the RA Board of Directors .

And, in alphabetical order (by last name):

Peter H. Duesberg, PhD
Professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1968-1970 he demonstrated that influenza virus has a segmented genome. This would explain its unique ability to form recombinants by reassortment of subgenomic segments. He isolated the first cancer gene through his work on retroviruses in 1970, and mapped the genetic structure of these viruses. This, and his subsequent work in the same field, resulted in his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1986. He was also the recipient of a seven-year Outstanding Investigator Grant from the National Institutes of Health from 1985-1992. He is also a member of South Africa's Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel.

From 1991-95, he chaired the History of Science Section of the AAAS and was a member of its Executive Council. He is also a member of South Africa's Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel.

IS ?HIV? REALLY THE CAUSE OF AIDS?
ARE THERE REALLY ONLY ?A FEW?
SCIENTISTS WHO DOUBT THIS?

Over 2,000 scientists, medical professionals, authors and academics are on record that the ?Hiv-Aids? theories, routinely reported to the public as if they were facts, are dubious to say the least.

following is the list of names and quotes
