were, a er all, Mullis writes, specialists in retroviruses. This is how

the medical and science pyramids work. Something is announced or

assumed and then becomes an everybody-knows-that purely through

repetition of the assumption as if it is fact. Complete crap becomes

accepted truth with no supporting evidence and only repetition of

the crap. This is how a ‘virus’ that doesn’t exist became the ‘virus’

that changed the world. The HIV-AIDS fairy story became a multibillion

pound industry and the media poured out propaganda

terrifying the world about the deadly HIV ‘virus’ that caused the

lethal AIDS. By then Mullis was working at a lab in Santa Monica,

California, to detect retroviruses with his PCR test in blood

donations received by the Red Cross. In doing so he asked a

virologist where he could find a reference for HIV being the cause of

AIDS. ‘You don’t need a reference,’ the virologist said … ‘Everybody

knows it.’ Mullis said he wanted to quote a reference in the report he

was doing and he said he felt a li le funny about not knowing the

source of such an important discovery when everyone else seemed

to. The virologist suggested he cite a report by the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on morbidity and mortality.

Mullis read the report, but it only said that an organism had been

identified and did not say how. The report did not identify the

original scientific work. Physicians, however, assumed (key recurring

theme) that if the CDC was convinced that HIV caused AIDS then

proof must exist. Mullis continues:

I did computer searches. Neither Montagnier, Gallo, nor anyone else had published papers

describing experiments which led to the conclusion that HIV probably caused AIDS. I read

the papers in Science for which they had become well known as AIDS doctors, but all they

had said there was that they had found evidence of a past infection by something which was

probably HIV in some AIDS patients.

They found antibodies. Antibodies to viruses had always been considered evidence of past

disease, not present disease. Antibodies signaled that the virus had been defeated. The patient

had saved himself. There was no indication in these papers that this virus caused a disease.

They didn’t show that everybody with the antibodies had the disease. In fact they found some

healthy people with antibodies.
