Disinformation Lyrics by David Gilbert

AIDS Conspiracy? Tracking Down the Real Genocide

1996

Douglass goes beyond such misconceptions and distortions to perpetrating fraud. His "smoking guns" to prove the conspiracy are two key articles, one from Bulletin of the World Health Organization, the other from Science. If you take the time to read the actual articles, they don't say anything like what he claims they do. Douglass must be consciously promoting a disinformation campaign.
His centerpiece is that WHO actually called for engineering a retrovirus to cause AIDS. He "proves" this by citing a 1972 article in the WHO Bulletin (A. Allison, et. al., "Virus-Associated Immunopathology: Animal Models and Implications for Human Disease," 47:1, pp. 257-264). Douglass is emphatic: WHO is talking about "retroviruses" and is calling for scientists to "attempt to make a hybrid virus that would be deadly to humans." As Douglass sums it up:
"That's Aids. What the WHO is saying in plain English is 'Lets cook up a virus that selectively destroys the T-cell system of man, an acquired immune deficiency. '"
(The above quotes are from Douglass's "WHO Murdered Africa," and the underscorings are all his. He presents an almost identical description in his book, p. 80.)
On the surface, it is astonishing that any conspirators would reveal themselves by openly publishing a call for such an evil project. If one takes the time to find and read the WHO article in question, it becomes totally obvious that Douglass completely flipped the whole meaning and intent. The article in question (1) is NOT primarily about retroviruses; (2) is NOT at all about engineering new viruses; (3) NEVER discusses making hybrids; and (4) is absolutely NOT about making a virus to destroy the human immune system.
Instead, the article is all about a number of viruses already known at the time that cause various illnesses (in humans and other mammals). Evidence was emerging by 1972 that some of these known viruses, in addition to their direct damage, worked in part by selective effects on the immune system – in some cases by impairing and in other cases by overstimulating immune responses. There is a call to study these secondary effects. The article is simply a legitimate inquiry into existing diseases and has absolutely nothing to do with creating some new virus to cripple the immune system.
Douglass offers only one quote from the original article. Not only does he completely change the context, he also makes a crucial deletion from the quote: the list of viruses they are studying (Bulletin , op. cit., at p. 259). All the listed viruses were related to already recognized illnesses most are not retroviruses; none is a retrovirus that affects humans; and none is suspect in any of the proposed scenarios for HIV-splicing. Douglass has created a bogeyman out of thin air.
The other key and verifiable fraud is Douglass's oft-repeated claim that "Seventy-five million Africans became infected, practically simultaneously." [his emphasis] (p. 83 of his book). The cite offered for this figure is an article by T.C. Quinn, J.M. Mann, et. al. in Science 234, p. 955. But this 1986 article never mentions 75 million people infected or anything like that, not on the page Douglass cites, not anywhere else. The authors, who've done very valuable work on AIDS in Africa, don't offer a specific figure because not enough was known at the time. But they do cite, on p. 962, "estimates of several [i.e. two to ten] million infected in Africa." Incidentally, Douglass never mentions that this same Science article presents strong evidence contradicting his allegations that HIV can be transmitted by mosquitoes and that HIV was spread by vaccinations.
