EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dr. Eleanor Storrs of Gulf South research Institute (GSRI) in New Iberia Louisiana initiated a multi-national program to develop a vaccine for the prevention of leprosy by growing vast numbers of the bacilli needed to produce it in nine-banded armadillos. Captain Waldemar Kirchheimer of US public health service (PHS), a former collaborator, sabotaged her program by spreading false rumors that GSRI had caused leprosy in wild armadillos by accident or design. We will show that Kirchheimer was a psychopathic liar who forged his medical credentials with the connivance of PHS. He was a risk to national security. His charges proved to be false, but PHS has refused to clear GSRI or Storrs by name of causing a leprosy zoonosis in Louisiana armadillos. The shock of his wild accusations triggered a biomedical tsunami that hurled mountainous waves of waste and frustration over India, Venezuela, and Malawi. It shook the headquarters of World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, and the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in London. A wave of allegations with the destructive power of Katrina engulfed the laboratory in New Iberia where Storrs had started her research. Her secret of growing vast numbers of leprosy bacilli in armadillos was lost forever because of the wanton destruction of her research program. Yields of bacilli plunged catastrophically. More than 321,000 people were injected with weak and watery vaccines prepared by Burroughs Wellcome Ltd in England from armadillo tissues containing woefully low numbers of leprosy bacilli. Some were so diluted that they were transparent to the naked eye. Medical teams toiled futilely under hot tropical suns for 14 years. Vast sums of money were squandered. The work of a generation of leprologists was swept away. Leprosy research still stagnates in the backwaters of medical science. Hordes of wild armadillos with the most contagious form of human leprosy now roam freely over the highways and byways of Louisiana and Texas. They must have contracted disease from patients at the National Leprosarium at Carville. They have infected Louisiana citizens, causing 30 to 40 cases of human leprosy each year. 2 We recorded these global catastrophes in prestigious international journals (1, 2). PHS executive officers did not contest our conclusions. Instead, they hid behind the skirts of their powerful Congressional colleagues. Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) and Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL), both practicing physicians before being elected to Congress, aided their colleagues in PHS instead of honoring their legislative and professional obligations. They deprived a heartbroken woman scientist (Eleanor Storrs) of her constitutional right to petition congress for the redress of grievances by refusing to grant her a hearing to clear her name of slanderous charges, and restore her miraculous discovery to its full potential for fighting disease. They violated the Hippocratic oath by refusing to help 1.4 billion people who are exposed to leprosy infection. They turned their backs on the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who bestowed special grace on leprosy victims by healing ten of them on his way to Jerusalem, and raising their Patron Saint, Lazarus, from the dead. Tragically, the leprosy tsunami is only one wave in long lines of thundering breakers that threaten to overwhelm world confidence in the integrity of American medical science. High-level crimes by PHS officers in cancer, Aids, and DDT research threaten the health of billions. The damage done by this tsunami did not stop with research on diseases. The collapse of Storrs’ laboratory dragged down with it budding programs on environmental sciences and oceanography that could have solved problems relating to global warming, hurricane damage, and the world petroleum shortage. The investment made by the Louisiana legislature and Iberia Parish to create a better Louisiana by founding GSRI to perform research in these fields was wiped out by the actions of PHS. Sen. Frist and Rep. Weldon have refused to investigate these crimes even though the consequences of them grow more ugly each day. This month a web site on this subject that I had painstakingly constructed was broken into and devastated. The home page is still there but all of the hyperlinks radiating from it to incriminating evidence were destroyed. Links to the life and works of Eleanor Storrs have vanished from Internet. Could PHS have attempted to erase the gifts of an Angel of Mercy from history? My castle has been invaded. Has the government declared total war on my civil rights by mangling my website? Is it guilty of breaking into, entering, and destroying my property? Do law enforcers sit back and laugh at our sorrows? I could repair this website or close it but it is more instructive to do neither. I will leave it in shambles, so that the entire world can see what American justice is really like by entering the virtual funeral parlor of democracy at http://pandoras-box.org/ to tinker with the broken links. PHS may choose to let this crippled website linger on as a warning to other whistle blowers, or blast it out of existence altogether. Only the shadowy men who pull the strings that control Frist and Weldon know what atrocities will come next. I beseech President Bush to order the Department of Justice to make a full- scale investigation of this rape of civil rights in order to protect the health of people of all 3 nations, the lives and property of citizens of Louisiana, and the inalienable right of Eleanor Storrs to a fair hearing so that she can redeem her miraculous discovery for the glory of God and healing of humanity. A. Triumph and Treachery The seeds of this tsunami were sown in 1974 when Dr. Eleanor Storrs of Gulf South Research Institute discovered that armadillos could produce vast numbers of leprosy bacilli. According to a definitive article in the journal Vaccine (3) The development of a possible anti-Mycobacterium leprae (leprosy) vaccine has been advanced by the isolation of organisms from the infected tissues of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus . The author of this paper made it abundantly clear that 125,000 doses of vaccine could be prepared from one infected armadillo. Storrs was the first and last person in the world to achieve this production level. She knew at once that her discovery made it possible to eradicate a crippling disease that has plagued mankind since the days when God struck Miriam with leprosy during the flight of the Children of Israel from Egypt. Storrs’ great humanitarian dream collapsed when Capt. Waldemar F. Kirchheimer and his associates at the PHS Hospital at Carville LA forced closing of her laboratory by spreading false rumors that she had let experimentally-infected armadillos escape or had otherwise contaminated the environment with leprosy bacilli (2). These charges have been disproved beyond a shadow of a doubt. Banishment of Storrs from leprosy research gave rise to a catastrophic decline in bacterial yields (1). Productivity remains at this low level as attested to in a web site sponsored by National Institutes of Health (NIH) (4). PHS, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and Congress have refused to take steps to restore the productivity of armadillos in order to protect the reputation of Capt. Kirchheimer and other PHS officers who caused this decline and consequent failure of a multinational vaccine program. In November of 1974, WHO officials began the most ambitious attempt ever made to develop and test a leprosy vaccine. It was based on Storrs’ discovery. They planned to evaluate it in 470,000 people on three continents. This number was later reduced to 321,000. The program lasted for 24 years from the time that WHO began laboratory work until the last people vaccinated were examined for symptoms of leprosy. The best minds in leprology, immunology, and epidemiology were mobilized to achieve this goal. A World Tissue Bank was established in London to receive and process armadillo tissues. An Immunology of Leprosy (IMMLEP) Committee was established in Geneva to guide the program.

  • HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What Is the Truth? Gary Null, Phd December 3, 2012
    HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What is the Truth? Gary Null, PhD December 3, 2012 In the May 4, 1984 issue of the prestigious journal Science, one of the most important research papers of the last quarter century was published. “Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS” would rapidly become the medical Magna Carta for the entire gold rush to develop diagnostic methods to identify the presence of HIV in human blood and to invent pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines in a global war against AIDS. This paper, along with three others published in the same issue of Science, was written by Dr. Robert Gallo, then head of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology (LTCB) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, and his lead researcher Dr. Mikulas Popovic. To this day, this article continues to document the most cited research to prove the HIV hypothesis in scientific papers and places like the nation’s Centers of Disease Control (CDC) website. For virologists, molecular biologists and other infectious disease researchers, particularly those tied to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and the national medical and health institutions, the news of Gallo’s discovery was manna rained down from heaven. All research into other possible causes for the AIDS crisis ended abruptly. As soon as the winds shifted away from earlier efforts to find the cause of AIDS —people’s lifestyles, immune suppressing illicit drug use and other health risks and illnesses that adversely affect the body’s immune system — to that of a single new virus, the case was closed.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science AIDS Denialism In
    The London School of Economics and Political Science AIDS Denialism in South Africa: A case study in the rationality and ethics of science policy Katherine Furman A thesis submitted to the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2016. 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract From 28 October 1999 to 26 September 2000 Mbeki publically endorsed the position of ‘denialist’ AIDS scientists – a marginal group who oppose the claim that HIV causes AIDS – and used their views as the basis for a policy of not providing ARVs (antiretrovirals – the treatment that prevents HIV from replicating) via the public health system. This policy persisted until 2004, with severe consequences – best estimates indicate that it resulted in 171, 000 avoidable new infections and 343,000 deaths over the 1999 – 2002 period. I use this case to address two questions.

  • THE CASE AGAINST HIV-Last Updated 1403-869 References (PDF)
    THE CASE AGAINST HIV October 2013 (Last updated March 2014) Collated by Henry Bauer www.henryhbauer.homestead.com Additions and corrections are welcomed, indeed solicited, at our comments page . That HIV causes AIDS has been the officially sanctioned view for about 3 decades, believed almost universally but questioned openly by thousands of people, some of whom are expert in relevant sciences 1,2,3. These dissidents point out that a comprehensive reading of the mainstream literature together with analysis of mainstream data demonstrates conclusively that HIV is neither a necessary nor a sufficient cause of AIDS. An annotated bibliography of dissident books and other writings was published in 1993 4; dissident books not listed there or published since that time include Bauer 5, Bialy 6, Crewdson 7, Culshaw 8, De Harven 9, Duesberg 10 , Farber 11 , Fiala 12 , Hodgkinson 13 , Konotey 14 , Kremer 15 , Lauritsen 16 , Lauritsen & Young 17 , Leitner 18 , Maggiore 19 , Root-Bernstein 20 , Shenton 21 . The Immunity Resource Foundation ( IRF ) offers important archival material including many documentary films and videos; many issues of Continuum magazine; many links to other AIDS-Rethinking or HIV-Skeptical websites; and a blog and newspage . The 2013 award- winning film, “ Positively False — Birth of a Heresy ” can be rented or bought at the IRF website. Another award-winning documentary is " House of Numbers ." At first sight, that HIV does not cause AIDS must seem unbelievable in light of the officially promulgated view that has so thoroughly pervaded the media and the public sphere. How could medical science be so wrong for so long about something so important? Moreover, haven’t the miracle antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) saved countless lives and changed AIDS from an invariably fatal death sentence into a chronic, manageable, condition? Aren’t Africans dying in hordes from AIDS only because they can’t get enough of those drugs? Those questions can all be answered, but not in any brief way.

  • The Scorn of Heretics Anthony F. Liversidge Conference on Science
    The Scorn of Heretics 1 Anthony F. Liversidge Conference on Science and Democracy Naples, April 2001/NYC 2002 THE SCORN OF HERETICS My topic is the unexpected closemindedness of scientists, and people generally, when confronted with new ideas, and why this may occur. But now I feel at a small disadvantage. The previous speaker has challenged our own open mindedness by telling us that nuclear fusion in a bottle is a promising avenue of research, and would be known as such but for its concealment by military interests. Like many people, I am afraid I find this difficult to credit without knowing more. After all, mainstream sources inform us that the claimed phenomenon, once it was announced by two scientists, was investigated by many others, who were unable to replicate it. This, of course, is how professional science works. We confirm or deny the truth of a new claim after a review of the logic and the evidence. But the theme of my own talk is the origin of the unreasonable closemindedness that I and others have documented in the science establishment today, the combination of politics, system flaws and psychology which shores up ruling paradigms against review. Surely, if I reject nuclear fusion in a bottle without researching the issue, I will be acting no differently from the mainstream scientists in, for example, AIDS, my case study, who reject dissent out of hand? The difficulty in AIDS, however, is that an unproven scientific claim has not been dismissed, as in fusion in a bottle. On the contrary, it has been universally adopted as valid, even though conventional scientific review has called it into very serious, in fact, overwhelming doubt.

Viruses are too small to be seen with the light microscope. To visualise and study viral particles scientists need the resolving power of electron microscope which is about 200 times greater than the light microscope. The main property of viruses is their being microscopic particles of particular sizes and shapes and endowed with other defining features, collectively referred to as morphology. Virus particles are too small to be seen with the light microscope. Hence to study their morphological features scientists must use the electron microscope which is capable of enlarging objects 200 times smaller than those that can be seen with the light microscope.

  • Marvel Comics Avengers Chronological Appearances by Bob Wolniak
    Marvel Comics Avengers Chronological Appearances By Bob Wolniak ased initially on the Bob Fronczak list from Avengers Assemble and Avengers Forever websites. But unlike Mr. B Fronczak’s list (that stops about the time of Heroes Reborn) this is NOT an attempt at a Marvel continuity (harmony of Marvel titles in time within the fictional universe), but Avengers appearances in order in approx. real world release order . I define Avengers appearances as team appearances, not individual Avengers or even in some cases where several individual Avengers are together (but eventually a judgment call has to be made on some of those instances). I have included some non-Avengers appearances since they are important to a key storyline that does tie to the Avengers, but noted if they did not have a team appearance. Blue (purple for WCA & Ultimates) indicates an Avengers title , whether ongoing or limited series. I have decided that Force Works is not strictly an Avengers title, nor is Thunderbolts, Defenders or even Vision/Scarlet Witch mini- series, although each book correlates, crosses over and frequently contains guest appearances of the Avengers as a team. In those cases, the individual issues are listed. I have also decided that individual Avengers’ ongoing or limited series books are not Avengers team appearances, so I have no interest in the tedious tracking of every Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, or Hank Pym title unless they contain a team appearance or x-over . The same applies to Avengers Spotlight (largely a Hawkeye series, with other individual appearances), Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Vision, Wonder Man, Hulk, She-Hulk, Black Panther, Quicksilver, Thunderstrike, War Machine, Black Widow, Sub-Mariner, Hercules, and other such books or limited series.
