A new medical definition (Idiopathic CD4+ T-cell lymphocytopenia) was created to avoid the fact that AIDS occurs in the absence of HIV |
(65, 87) |
| 2 |
|
HIV does not satisfy Koch's postulates, the criteria that must be met in order to prove that a microbe causes a disease |
(90) |
| 3 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs, including protease inhibitors, destroy T-cells |
(4 - 10) |

|
| 13 |
|
Only 38% of healthy long-term positives had ever used AZT or other nuleoside analogs Compared with 94% of progressors |
(80) |
| 14 |
|
Decreases in AIDS cases preceded the introduction of new drug treatments (Dec 1995) by three full years |
(see fig.6 of 106) |
| 15 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs have anti-microbial effects |
(49, 50, 10) |
| 16 |
|
The introduction of AZT (1987) did not cause a decline in the AIDS death rate |
(105) |
| 17 |
|
In the only long term trial of AZT (The Concorde study) 172 participants died, 169 while taking AZT, 3 while on placebo |

|
Nucleoside analog drugs suppress/destroy the bone marrow where all immune system cells are born |
(26, 32, 111) |
| 19 |
|

"Drug holidays" recover immune responses |
|
| 21 |
|
AZT caused the same transient increase in CD4 count in HIV negatives as in HIV positives |
(55) |
| 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 |
(58) |
| 27 |
|
Early AIDS coincided with the cumulative effects of unprecedented, intense use of volatile nitrite (poppers) as an aphrodisiac marketed almost exclusively to homosexuals |
(102) |
| 28 |
|
AIDS can be treated effectively without anti-HIV drugs |
(39 - 42) |
| 29 |
|
On average, viral load overestimates infectious HIV by a factor of 60,000 |

|
There was no increase in HIV seroprevalence outside risk groups in the UK despite record STD rates and teenage pregnancy rates |
(25) |
| 36 |
|
HIV DNA was found to be constant from the time of seroconversion, but CD4 count continually went down |
(29) |
| 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 |
(30) |
| 39 |
|
AZT has no effect on HIV DNA but makes viral load (HIV RNA) go down |
(31) |
| 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) |
(34) |
| 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 |
(104) |
| 45 |
|
All the proteins used in the HIV test are associated with retroviral genes that are found naturally (endogenous) in all humans |
(72) |

|
The Elisa, Western Blot and PCR tests for HIV all carry disclaimers nullifying their detection of HIV |
|
| 50 |

| 53 |
|
The viral load test gives false positives |
(36) |
| 54 |
|
The viral load test has low reproducibility |
(36 - 38) |
| 55 |
|

(43) |
| 56 |
|

(86) |
| 57 |
|

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 |
(88, 89) |
| 61 |
|
The USA was found to be the world's most sexually promiscuous nation |
(27) |
| 62 |
|
Condoms (made from polyisoprene) have holes in much larger than HIV |
(28, 110) |
| 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 |
(1) |
| 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! |
(46) |
| 69 |
|
In "AIDS ravaged" South Africa many coffin makers are either doing a slack trade or have gone out of business |
(47) |
| 70 |

| 74 |
|
Non-human primates "progress" to AIDS (SAIDS) much quicker than humans do |
(107) |
| 75 |
|
SIV does not cause SAIDS in wild primate populations |
(108) |
| 76 |
|
SIV seroprevalence is too low in wild primate populations to account for SIV resistance in these populations |
(22) |
| 77 |
|
SIV seroprevalence in captive SIV naïve primate populations was found to be very low |
(22) |
| 78 |
|
Until the early 1930s many thousands of European men received transplants from chimpanzees and did not get AIDS |
(62) |

|
Uganda study showed HIV-positivity did not indicate a new cause of disease, only decreased mortality in HIV negatives |
(52) |
| 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 |
(58, Table 16

Infectious HIV (a delicate virus) does not survive the Factor VIII preparation process |
(76 - 78) |
| 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 |
