(Natural News) Did you know that, just prior to the HIV and AIDS epidemic that swept the American homosexual population during the early 1980s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had conducted a hepatitis B vaccine experiment that’s believed to have triggered it?

Between the years of 1978 and 1981, the CDC specifically targeted homosexual men living in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles – three major cities where HIV and AIDS seemingly appeared out of nowhere – with hepatitis B vaccines that were manufactured with infected blood.

This blood was then injected into chimpanzees that were known to be infected with the cancer-causing simian virus 40, also known as SV40.

As you may recall, SV40 is the same virus that was identified in polio vaccines administered during the 1950s, which could explain the meteoric rise in cancer we’re now seeing roughly 70 years later.

Prior to the CDC’s administering of these hepatitis B vaccines among homosexual populations, HIV and AIDS didn’t even exist in the United States. But after this little experiment, the details of which remain largely under wraps, HIV and AIDS began to spread like wildfire.

By the time the CDC’s hepatitis B experiment reached its conclusion in 1981, the CDC actually declared AIDS to be an epidemic. Just one year prior, however, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a report proclaiming the CDC’s AIDS-tainted hepatitis B vaccine to be “safe and incidence of side effects low,” with an alleged 96 percent success rate.

How a vaccine that almost immediately resulted in some 20 percent of homosexual men living in Manhattan contracting HIV in 1980 – this figure doubled to 40 percent by 1984 – could be considered “safe and incidence of side effects low” is truly mind-boggling. But this is what was declared at the time, and the rest is history.

Did the CIA create HIV 10 years before the CDC began administering it in vaccines?
This type of human medical experimentation is really nothing new for our country. In fact, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is said to have intentionally created HIV as far back as 1970 when Dr. Donald MacArthur, the then-Deputy Director for Research and Technology at the Department of Defense, requested $10 million from Congress to develop a synthetic biological agent with resistance “to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease.”

Though it hasn’t technically been proven that the CIA is responsible for HIV, and thus AIDS, we know that CIA-supervised mycoplasma research that took place at Fort Detrick’s Special Operations Division had been working on creating a synthetic immunosuppressive agent, which very likely turned out to be HIV.

One year later in 1971, then-President Richard Nixon actually converted Fort Detrick from an “offensive biowarfare laboratory” into the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center, which today is known as the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at Frederick.

The handling of HIV appears to have then transferred hands to the CDC, which plotted to set it loose in many of America’s major cities in order to create a new public health crisis, specifically within the homosexual community.

Little-known PBS interview that was never aired linked HIV to Merck’s polio vaccine, which contained AIDS-causing SV40

Several years after the CDC declared AIDS to be an epidemic, medical historian Edward Shorter and Dr. Maurice Hilleman, the foremost vaccine developer at Merck at the time, appeared on PBS to discuss SV40 contamination in Merck’s polio vaccine.

Though this 1987 interview never actually aired, for reasons you’re about to learn, it was submitted to the Library of Congress making it available for access. In 2011, it was also uploaded to YouTube, though it has since been pulled “due to a copyright claim by Leonard G. Horowitz.”

Its contents, however, are now widely known by those who’ve been following this scandal, revealing that SV40 is not just associated with cancer, but also with AIDS. According to Dr. Hilleman, SV40 itself could be the source of AIDS, as he once declared, “I didn’t know we were importing AIDS” in reference to Merck’s SV40-contaminated polio vaccines.

Suffice it to say that HIV and AIDS, as well as other novel diseases that originated in primates, were delivered to human populations intentionally through the administration of vaccines. Since AIDS specifically can be traced to these CDC hepatitis B vaccine experiments, it’s safe to say that our own government is directly responsible for an untold number of injuries and deaths caused by diseases that were laced into government-mandated vaccines.

“Efforts to obtain this information have been rebuffed invoking the ‘confidential’ nature of the experiment to deny access,” the group goes on to explain, suggesting that folks who are interested in this scandal further investigate the works of Dr. Alan Cantwell, MD, and the books Gay Vaccine Experiments and the American (Not African) Origin of AIDS and The Virus Cancer Program.

With over two million HIV infected individuals, India is home to one-third of the world’s HIV population. Although the national level data shows a downward trend, the decline is not uniform across states and districts. A new study has found that underlying factors for the epidemic also vary from region to region, and region-specific strategies may be necessary for HIV control.

There is high prevalence of HIV in 63 districts in South and North-east regions of the country, the study has found. Of them, “better developed, urbanised districts with large population size, better socio-economic status of population are more likely to have consistently high HIV prevalence levels.” While planning HIV control strategies, the focus should be on districts which are showing signs of rapid urbanisation and socio-economic development, the study has suggested.

The factors responsible for the epidemic are complex and can be contrasting for different regions, restricting the use of a single approach for HIV control nationally. Therefore, continuous monitoring for prevalence and causes of disease at the district level is necessary for making control programs more effective.

Researchers used data from 2011 Census, HIV Sentinel Surveillance programme and District Level Household Survey-III and analysed trends from 2007 to 2012 in 640 districts. They correlated HIV prevalence with fourteen factors broadly belonging to categories – population profile; socio-economic factors; HIV and sexually transmitted infections, awareness and condom usage.

The analysis revealed that districts with high literacy, better socio-economic status, and higher proportion of population in reproductive age group and late marriages had consistently high HIV prevalence in all the regions except in southern states.

Elaborating on this trend, researchers explained that often young educated individuals move to urban areas for better opportunities and are separated from family. With better income, they are ready to explore and often have sexual encounters with multiple partners before they get married. This increases chances of HIV. Researchers believe that since south India was first to face HIV upsurge, the HIV epidemic has evolved over time in these states, therefore not affected by factors like better socio-economic indicators like in other states.

“Our study has highlighted inter-regional variations in factors responsible for HIV prevalence. While implementing common strategies for prevention and control of HIV/ AIDS at the national level, additional regional approaches may also be necessary,” explained Dr Rajneesh Joshi, who conducted the study at Pune-based ICMR-National AIDS Research Institute while on a study leave from the Indian army where he is working as a public health specialist.

The study also found that higher knowledge levels about the role of condom use for HIV prevention as well as the use of condoms correlates with reduced HIV cases in districts. However, high literacy and awareness about HIV/AIDS alone does not mean better low HIV prevalence, supplementing this knowledge with HIV prevention methods can only reduce the cases of HIV.

“Results of this study have been communicated to the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). We will continue our analysis to track the scenario following the introduction of test and treat policy by the program,” informed Dr Joshi while speaking to India Science Wire.

The study, among other things, has highlighted that the districts which are rapidly progressing towards urbanization and socio-economic development may see an increase in the number of HIV cases. The study further advocates the need to raise awareness of HIV prevention and use of condoms along with HIV in general.

The research team included Dr Sanjay M. Mehendale of Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi apart from Dr Rajneesh. The research published in the journal Plos One.
