“HIV Test Victim” Tommy “The Duke” Morrison
Demands “Proof” of “Active HIV Infection”
WHAT
Tommy Morrison –Two Time Heavyweight Boxing Champion of The World and Co-Star in Rocky V –aka Tommy Gunn– is being denied his basic human right to pursue the career he loves and earn a living the way he chooses. He is being pressured to take an “HIV-test” while being denied the right to evaluate whether the “tests” to be used are actually proof of an “active HIV infection”.
Questions: Morrison Asks:
Do I have the right and responsibility to demand and receive Scientific Proof that a “blood test” health officials will use to determine my very future is “accurate”?
That the “test” can demonstrate what health officials claim it can “demonstrate”?
My boxing future is to be determined by whether or not I have an “active infection”.
I therefore do have a right to know what “test” officials will use to make such a determination. Without that right, it would indicate that life-altering choices in matters of love and work, health and illness and life and death belong in the hands of state officials, and not in the hands of free human beings.
I am no doctor nor scientist – I am a Fighter – Could I have possibly have uncovered something by simply asking for something that is such a normal request? : THE ACTUAL ACTIVE HIV VIRUS TEST???
Question: Morrison Asks:
Is there a test in existence that actually tests for and definitively proves the presence of an “active HIV infection”?
Answer Received from Doctors & Scientists: There are 2 kinds of “infectious-disease blood tests”
There are tests for PATHOGENS. A pathogen test demonstrates” viremia”, i.e., an active, pathogenic and contagious viral infection.
2. There are tests for ANTIBODIES to those pathogens. Antibody tests, on the other hand, are tests for past exposure to a virus and indicate not the presence but the absence of an active infection, pathology or contagion.
Question: Morrison Asks:Is testing positive on the ELISA and Western Blot HIV antibody tests PROOF of an “active HIV infection”?
Answer Received from Doctors & Scientists: “antibody tests”, both the ELISA and Western Blot test CANNOT prove the presence of an “active HIV infection” The manufacturers themselves acknowledge it is impossible to detect the presence of an “active infection” . Disclaimers in their test packets read:
ELISA: At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence or absence of HIV-1 antibody in human blood.” (Abbott Lab HIV Test – ElA)
WESTERN BLOT: Do not use this kit as the sole basis of diagnosis of HIV-1 infection.” (Epitope, Inc. HIV Test – Western Blot)
Question: Morrison Asks: Is testing positive on the PCR, HIV “Viral Load” test PROOF of an “active HIV infection”?
Answer Received From Doctors & Scientists:The “PCR viral load” test is a DNA-fragment replicating test that was never meant to be used – and that still cannot be used – to detect “whole infectious virus”, as pointed out by the tests’ inventor himself, Dr. Kary Mullis. The manufacturers themselves acknowledge it is impossible to detect the presence of an “active infection” with the PCR “viral load” test and confirm this with this Disclaimer in their test packets:
PCR VIRAL LOAD TEST: The AMPLICOR HIV-1 (PCR “Viral Load”) MONITOR test, is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection” (Roche, Amplicor HIV Monitor Test Kit).
Manufacturers Disclaimers Provided By the FDA
* “At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence or absence of HIV-1 antibody in human blood.” (Abbott Lab HIV Test – ElA)
* “The risk of an asymptomatic person with a repeatedly reactive serum developing AIDS or an AIDS-related condition is not known.” (Genetic Systems HIV Test – Peptide EIA)
* “The AMPLICOR HIV-1 (PCR “Viral Load”) MONITOR test, is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection” (Roche, Amplicor HIV Monitor Test Kit).
* “Do not use this kit as the sole basis of diagnosis of HIV-1 infection.” (Epitope, Inc. HIV Test – Western Blot)
*“Clinical studies continue to clarify and refine the interpretation and medical significance of the presence of antibodies to HIV.” (Abbott Laboratories HIV Test – ElA)
Note: The disclaimers are found within the package inserts for HIV tests. These limitations MUST and SHOULD be prominently displayed to avoid serious violation of consumer protection laws.
SSI Endorses 1984 SCIENCE Report Retraction
Washington DC, Dec 9 – Nearly 25 years after the publication of four foundational articles on HIV and AIDS, prominent scientists, physicians and legal experts are now asking for their removal from the journal Science.
Their request is based upon new evidence that Dr. Robert Gallo – the former National Cancer Institute (NCI) researcher who declared he had found the probable cause of AIDS – had actually based his claims on his own unverified last-minute alterations to lab reports and experiments.
The letter’s 37 signatories include medical doctors, chemists, oncologists, university professors, virologists, researchers, pathologists, AND biologists.
After fellow researcher Matthew Gonda PhD informed Gallo that his electron microscopy showed no evidence of a virus in 1984, Gallo used Gonda’s name and photographs to corroborate his claim that he had isolated the virus. Because the majority of all subsequent AIDS research is predicated on the assumption that Gallo’s research was legitimate, the ramification of these findings of fraud raises serious questions regarding past and current US policy toward AIDS research.
It now appears that Gallo never produced any evidence or proof that HIV attacks cells or causes AIDS. As a result of his unchallenged claims, Gallo was officially declared one of two co-discoverers of the HIV in 1984.
Gallo left NCI after the Dept’s of Health’s Office of Research Integrity (ORI) accused him of committing scientific misconduct (1992). Although the evidence against him was considerable a legal technicality prevented criminal charges from being filed.
Gallo shares a patent for HIV tests that generates millions of dollars in annual revenue, although the tests do not detect the presence of the virus itself or any unique or specific components of HIV. No HIV test manufacturer has ever claimed that their tests detect HIV or AIDS.
The new findings were first admitted into evidence during a Congressional investigation (Dingell-1993) that focused on questions related to Gallo’s alleged theft of cell culture samples. Those hearings never examined the actual fabrication of research.
The ORI reported that Gallo’s “irresponsible laboratory management has permanently impaired the ability to retrace the important steps taken.” Not only did Gallo’s conduct prevent fellow scientists from verifying his research, but Gallo distributed research materials with the express stipulation that his experiments not be repeated.
Semmelweis Society International (SSI) has determined that the new evidence does not conflict with the findings of its own investigation, which was initiated after a former medical student raised questions about AIDS in Africa.
