A. SMALLPOX VACCINE AS AIDS TRIGGER
By Jon Rappaport
As the deadly menace of AIDS has spread throughout the world, so
too have theories on its origin. Some scientists point to swine
fever as the AIDS source, while others say it was green monkeys
or hepatitis research. Whatever the theory, the media --
especially in America -- have been quick to report the
speculation. But, the startling theory that AIDS was triggered
and proliferated by a smallpox vaccine administered during the
last 13 years throughout the Third World by the World Health
Organization (WHO) has received conspicuously little coverage
since it was first reported in the London Times, one of the world's
most respected newspapers.
The London Times investigation cited a WHO advisor who claimed
that he was hired when the organization began to suspect that its
own smallpox vaccination program might have caused AIDS. "That
advisor did his study, concluded that the suspicion was correct,
and filed his report with WHO," explained London Times
technical correspondent Robert Matthews in a telephone interview.
"It was then buried, so he came to us."
(WHO AIDS spokesman Jonathan Mann, according to Matthews, "has
denied our story's hypothesis that WHO vaccines caused AIDS")
Pierce Wright, London Times science editor and author of the
story, wrote that the advisor's smallpox vaccine theory makes
sense in light of what is known about the spread of AIDS. "It
would account for the position of each of the seven Central
African states which top the league table of most-affected
nations." he stated. "The greatest spread of HIV [the
AIDS virus] infection coincides with the most intense [smallpox]
immunization programs." Wright added that the only South
American country that received the WHO vaccines, Brazil, has the
highest AIDS incidence in that region, while 14,000 Haitians
received the vaccine while visiting Central Africa before
returning to their homeland, which emerged as one of the most
highly concentrated AIDS regions.
WHO argues that although there are superficial correlations
between the countries in which the vaccine was used and the
subsequent AIDS epidemic, these don't cover individual locales or
include a case-by-case study of AIDS victims and smallpox
inoculees.
Perhaps the most disturbing fact uncovered by Wright's
investigation is that "a meeting of 50[AIDS] experts near
Geneva this month revealed that up to 75 million [people in
Southern Africa], one third of the population, could have the
disease in the next five years." The African country of
Zaire, the world's leader in AIDS cases, has received as many as
3 million WHO smallpox vaccinations, with neighboring countries
like Zambia (19 million vaccinations) and Tanzania (15 million)
also especially hard hit..
The London Times article also cited the recent death of a 19 year
old American soldier just three weeks after he had been
innoculated for smallpox as mandated by the Army. "The
recruit who developed AIDS after vaccination had been healthy
through high school," wrote Wright. But after the
vaccination, He was admitted to Walter Reed [hospital] suffering
from meningitis and rapidly developed further symptoms of AIDS
and died after responding for a short time to treatment..."
Following the death, "the Walter Reed team gave a warning [in
The New England Journal of Medicine] against a plan to use
modified versions of the smallpox vaccine to combat other disease
in developing countries." In effect, the Walter Reed experts
now say that other vaccines may also cause AIDS, a belief shared
by many in the medical and animal rights community who feel that
vaccines often use contaminated animal parts that contain viruses
(some unknown) which can combine to form dangerous organisms. (Such
is the reasoning behind the theory that AIDS was spread when
green monkeys in which an AIDS-like virus has been found, were
used to make oral polio vaccines.)
The London Times story concludes that the smallpox immunizing
agent itself has triggered the AIDS virus, causing it to
transform "from a minor endemic illness of the Third World
into the current pandemic." Local medical experts doubt that
specific theory, telling the Weekly that the smallpox vaccine is
probably not the AIDS trigger, but that if it is related to AIDS
-- and there are many reasons to doubt it is -- it is instead a
carrier of unidentified AIDS-causing micro-organism. Still, it is
hard to understand why no mention of the smallpox theory has been
reported by the U.S. media in the three weeks since the London
Times broke the story. In fact, spokespersons for the Associated
Press in Boston, Washington and New York, Reuters at the United
Nations and United Press International in New York said they had
heard nothing of the story out of London.
B. THE POLIO VACCINE AND ITS ROLE IN THE ORIGIN AND
SPREAD OF AIDS
As we have observed in our "Net Notes," countless
theories have been published regarding the deadly AIDS virus, its
origin and spread. But none has been so astounding as the
contention that the virus entered human beings as a result of
experiments conducted by European scientists in Africa in their
campaign against various diseases on the Mother Continent. Yet,
just as journalist John Rappaport claims that the smallpox
vaccine may have triggered the AIDS virus in Africa (see article
in this issue), others have argued that the real trigger was the
polio vaccine, which was injected in Central Africans between
1957 and 1960, long before the smallpox campaign began.
The foundation of this argument was laid by Tom Curtis in an
article entitled, "The Origin of AIDS," that appeared
in the May 19, 1992 issue of Rolling Stone. The core premise of
Curtis' piece may be quoted as follows:
"As it happens, equatorial Africa was the site of the world's
first mass trials of an oral polio vaccine--a vaccine cultured in
monkey kidneys but different in at least one important respect
from the Sabin vaccine ultimately adopted worldwide. This
footnote in medical history took place from 1957 to 1960 right in
the middle of what was then the Belgian Congo, Rwanda and Burundi--the
epicenter of the future African AIDS epidemic. It was developed
by a naturalized American polio researcher named Hilary Koprowski--the
same Dr. Koprowski who four years later would warn congressmen of
the dangers of an almost infinite number of monkey viruses
contaminating polio vaccines." (Emphasis added)
The connection between the oral polio vaccine experiment and the
outbreak and spread of the AIDS virus is graphically presented in
the comparison of two maps of a certain region in Central Africa:
Writing in the British Medical Journal on July 26th, 1958,
Koprowski and his colleagues offered a preliminary report on
their mass vaccination campaign. They included in the paper a
detailed map showing where nearly a quarter million inoculations
had taken place in the northeastern part of the Belgian Congo.
The area outlined corresponds roughly to another map in a report
published thirty years later in the Reviews of Infectious
diseases--the one identifying the regions of highest HIV
infection in equatorial Africa. (Emphases added)
Curtis' outstanding but obscure article laid the groundwork for a
new 1,100 page book by British writer Edward Hooper entitled
"The River." In a review of the book published in the
Los Angeles Times on December 23, 1999, Times staff writer
Marlene Cimons presents Hooper's thesis as follows:
"[Hooper] reasons that although Africans have been killing
and eating the meat of primates for centuries, the earliest known
sample of the human AIDS virus is from 1959---After the polio
vaccine had been administered. He writes that areas in which the
polio vaccine was administered later became the epicenter of the
African AIDS epidemic. And he says the researchers giving out the
polio vaccine were also engaged in medical experiments on several
hundred chimps in an African camp.
" `It is, in short, not unreasonable to propose that some of
the [vaccine] batches fed in Central Africa between 1957 and 1960
could have been prepared in chimp tissue, and that some of this
tissue may have been infected with the...precursor of HIV,'
" he writes.
It literally boggles the mind to think that millions of African
people have been wiped out and the population of entire nations
are now at risk because the experiments of White scientists
conducted--NOT IN EUROPE--but in Africa went awry. It behooves
all Black people to become fully informed about this, one of the
GREATEST SCANDLES in human history. To this end, please find
below full citations of the articles and book discussed herein.
The entire world should be up in arms over this horrendous
mismanagement by modern medical science.
