Igor, thanks for the interesting data on SARS-CoV2. However, I may seem unappreciative based upon the comments I'm about to give. I intend them constructively & cordially.
There is a good reason that Peter Duesberg has been a thorn in the side of those promoting the AIDS narrative for 40 years, and that Kary Mullis was an irritant until he died 2.5 years ago. They asked a simple question that could not be answered: "where is the paper that shows HIV causes AIDS?" No one, including Luc Montagnier, could point to the paper (or series of papers working as a whole) that showed HIV caused AIDS. This was true in the early 1990s and its true today. HIV as the cause of AIDS didn't get accepted by publishing a paper. It got accepted when Robert Gallo & Margaret Heckler (Secretary of HHS under Regan), held a press conference and declared it so in April, 1984. AIDS and HIV is the scam that preceded COVID19. It saddens me to see new understandings about SARS-CoV-2 be placed against the backdrop of the AIDS scam. We are going to have a difficult enough time peeling back COVID without tainting it with HIV comparisons.
I again refer you to Peter Duesberg's book, "Inventing the AIDS Virus", which can be downloaded for free:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261948355_Inventing_the_AIDS_Virus
In the early 1980's researchers were determined to find the virus that caused cancer. Duesberg was one of these researchers, but he had enough integrity to come out and say it wasn't so, without regard to what it would do to his career or getting future grants. But many were determined to find the cancer causing virus. Robert Gallo was one such researcher. But when it was discovered that some people were showing signs of a depleted immune system, he turned his attention to that. Instead of waiting for a new virus to be found, he first tried to shoehorn his HTLV-I virus (that was supposed to cause cancer) into the virus that caused (what would later be called) AIDS.
There were many problems with this theory. First, retroviruses (which HTLV-I) is one, do not kill T-cells. In fact, retroviruses are not known to kill any cells. Retroviruses are "lazy" in the words of Mullis. They don't do much. Mullis called them "harmless passenger viruses" that have been with humans for thousands of years. Furthermore, cancer is a state of cells not dying - they are unable to die, but instead replicate at an uncontrollable rate. So we have a contradiction. If a virus causes cancer, then how can it also kill a cell? How can that virus also cause AIDS?
While Gallo was working on HTLV in the US, Luc Montagnier was doing his own work in France on another virus, that would eventually be called HIV. Gallo offered to help Montagnier with his research. There was a long drama between Gallo & Montagnier that I won't detail here, but it's safe to say that Gallo stole HIV from Montagnier and laid claim to its discovery. It was a huge international issue that resulted in a settlement paid by the US to France, and it was agreed that royalties for HIV tests would be shared with France. Gallo was snubbed the Nobel in 2008 as he should have been. Gallo claimed to have created a cell line cultured from a patient with AIDS to grow HIV. This turned out to be a lie. The virus Gallo had was given to him by Montagnier, and Gallo stabbed him in the back.
There are many with immune deficiency who test negative for HIV antibodies. There are people who test positive for HIV antibodies without any signs of immune deficiency or diseases lumped into AIDS. There are people with low CD4+ cell counts without any signs of deficient immune systems or AIDS related diseases. There are people who are HIV antibody positive with diseases associated with AIDS but HIV cannot be cultured in them. The AIDS narrative is a testimony to crowd madness & groupthink. 40 years later and perhaps multiples of that in billions of dollars of research and we still don't have a single paper showing that AIDS is caused by HIV. The theory does not pass Koch's Postulate, the gold standard for determining if a pathogen is responsible for a disease. I can't represent Duesberg's position adequately in a brief post, but I'll leave you with a question. If HIV causes AIDS by causing T-cell death, how is it that HIV is lab-grown in an immortal T-cell line?
I think it is more helpful to report on what research shows SARS-CoV-2 does to the human body without the linkage to what HIV is claimed to do. We end up paying homage to one murderous scam while trying to unravel another. I'm not an expert on this subject, so if you have any good counter arguments, I would refer you to Duesberg's book. Duesberg, once considered one of the world's best virologists, is now listed in many wiki sites as a "quack" or "AIDS Denialist." But the army of scientists who make a living consuming government funding to do their AIDS research cannot or have not, alone or as a group, been able to counter Duesberg's simple, straight-forward, fact-based case against AIDS.
