The Real AIDS Epidemic: How the Tragic HIV Mistake Threatens Us All is now out in a new edition. Mathematical biologist Rebecca V. Culshaw compares the AIDS debacle with Dr. Fauci’s handling of the COVID pandemic.

Fauci’s AIDS empire was based on the hypothesis that HIV causes AIDS.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) boss claimed that HIV can “infiltrate and kill” T-cells and “stimulate the response of other immune cells so that they eventually collapse from “overwork or confusion.” This caught the attention of Charles Thomas, who told reporters “No other virus is credited with such a dazzling repertoire of destructive skills.” HIV was “a simple retrovirus with a very simple genetic organization.”

In similar style, Peter Duesberg wondered, “What kind of virus, one day, out of nowhere, springs into action to destroy a person’s immune system with no provocation?” Never had a retrovirus been shown to cause a human disease, or even a disease in animals.

“The nails in the coffin of the HIV/AIDS paradigm have been hammered long ago by a long list of scientists and medical researchers,” Culshaw confirms. “The AIDS orthodoxy’s only counter to the points made and the questions raised consisted of ad hominem attacks including the word ‘denialist,’ as well as stating that the dissenting views have been ‘discredited,’ without any reference as to where those views have been discredited.”

Culshaw lists the empire’s failed predictions including, “HIV will spread rapidly through the population.” It didn’t and it wasn’t even close. During the 1980s people were also told that “By 1990, one in five heterosexuals will be dead from AIDS.” They weren’t, but Fauci retained his powerful position, with no accountability.

As NIAID director, Fauci controlled both public health policy and government spending on medical research. That dangerous concentration of power would deploy in force during the COVID pandemic.
