Science Magazine Special News Report – Reviewing the Data
A 3-month investigation by the scientific journal Science evaluated claims made by UC-Berkeley virologist Peter Duesberg and his supporters, who continue to argue that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.
The four-part evaluation is preceded by an introductory piece entitled The Duesberg Phenomenon which also provides the conclusions
of the Science evaluation:
- In hemophiliacs (the group Duesberg acknowledges provides the best test case for the HIV hypothesis) there is abundant evidence that HIV causes disease and death.
- According to some AIDS researchers, HIV now fulfills the classic postulates of disease causation established by Robert Koch.
- The AIDS epidemic in Thailand, which Duesberg has cited as confirmation of his theories, seems instead to confirm the role of HIV.
- AZT and illicit drugs, which Duesberg argues can cause AIDS, don’t cause the immune deficiency characteristic of that disease.
Reviewing The Data (Parts I - IV):
- Duesberg and Critics Agree: Hemophilia Is the Best Test
- Fulfilling Koch’s Postulates
- The Epidemic in Thailand
- Could Drugs, Rather Than a Virus, Be the Cause of AIDS?
