Michael Ellner on the Historical Politics of AIDS

It’s not every day that someone associated with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) succinctly describes the historical politics involved in the AIDS hysteria. Michael Ellner’s comments are politically incorrect, but accurate:

How can anyone identify a cause for an imaginary infectious syndrome? You can’t. If we want to end this murderous and terrifying AIDS fraud, I believe that we must be willing to deconstruct the original, intentional fraud, since that’s what the present fraud grew out of. I'll do it here. (Warning: my language reflects the popular mindset and culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s - no offense intended.)

There would have been very little, if any compassion at all, for a Community Acquired Syndrome that was killing queers, junkies, their partners and children, hemophiliacs and the very poor. Many considered "AIDS" a godsend and one can only imagine how these zealots would have exploited a Gay Related Immune Deficiency syndrome (GRID, if you recall). The average person would not feel directly affected and probably would not have given a flying flock.

I only mention this because I personally believe the Fraud is the direct consequence of the name change from GRID to AIDS. “Idiopathic GRID” did not require an infectious agent; “idiopathic infectious AIDS” however, along with the claim that "everyone is at risk", did! The name change transformed the problem from a rare, non-infectious, mojo-less social problem into a potentially common, highly infectious, mojo-rich syndrome, one that quickly rose to the top of the heap of health concerns and social evasions.

GRID would have been the kiss of death for Gay Rights; AIDS on the other hand promised to de-gay the syndrome. The CDC used AIDS to frighten the public into modifying their sexual behavior, meanwhile creating a windfall of funding and a whirlwind of gay-related "HIV" hysteria. The AIDS industries therefore were natural, opportunistic outgrowths of the socially necessary viral mythology.

Present company excluded - forget the scientists, forget the medical doctors, forget the editors and forget the journalists. They are unknowingly part of the problem. If we want to end this murderous fraud, we must operate as human beings and find creative and effective ways to reach the hearts and minds of our neighbors, friends, co-workers and so on.

On the other hand, telling people that they are infected with HIV but not to worry about it because HIV is harmless, borders on cruel and unusual punishment! "HIV" promotes uncertainty, doubt and lots of UNNECESSARY FEAR! No one has ever ISOLATED an HI-Virus.
