6.3. Is HIV the cause of AIDS? Doubts Related To The Social History Of HIV/AIDS
Some social critics raise questions about the circumstances in which
the HIV/AIDS hypothesis was made public: After a decade of a massively
funded, but predominantly unsuccessful, search for viral causes of
cancer, in 1984 then Secretary of Health and Welfare Margaret Heckler
declared to the national press that an *American* discovery of the
(probable) viral cause of AIDS had been made -- without a single peer
reviewed article on HIV having appeared. Quickly thereafter, the word
"probable" was dropped by the press, and virtually all scientific
monies for AIDS research were directed towards HIV. Continuing this
trend, suspicious dealings between the US government and Burroughs
Wellcome assured the approval and usage of the "anti-viral" drug
AZT. In an ad hoc manner, many HIV-scientists thereafter conveniently
rejected Koch's Postulates in defense of the HIV/AIDS
hypothesis. References: John Lauritsen's 1993 _The AIDS War_
