Summary: Summary and Comments by Paul Tran
Review: In the past 3 months, I have been doing research on theories about the origin of AIDS and HIV. Upon finding different beliefs, Dr. Alan Cantwell's proposal that AIDS is a man-made disease startled me significantly. I was totally stunned, however, I was very impressed with his examples and his courage, to publish such a controversial book. In this book, Cantwell presents the idea that HIV was created in a lab, which later spread into humans through the early hepatitis B vaccines in the 1970's.
As one of his arguments, he discusses about the early virus experiments that occurred in the 1960's. During this time, many famous researchers and scientists, such as Max Essex, Peter Duesberg, and Robert Gallo, were involved in developing a cancer-like virus that had the ability to create deficiency in the immune system. These tests were practiced on many different animals, including monkeys. With some success, they were able to create viruses that was immuno-supressive. Occasionally, these animals would be shipped from one laboratory to another one, and also some were eventually let back into the wild. One could infer that Cantwell believed that the virus developed in the lab and slowly introduced into the wild. However, Cantwell did not go into further detail about what happened after the release of these infected-animals, nor does he have any record of these animals. Therefore the possibility of this hypothesis is very slim, but could be possible.
Cantwell then later discussed about the possible outbreak of AIDS into society through hepatitis B vaccination, which was directed on gays. He argued that AIDS developed right after the vaccination, which was during the early 1980's. He also pointed out that the vaccinations took place in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City and contrasted these facts to the evidence that AIDS started in the same cities. Therefore, Cantwell came to a conclusion that HIV was created in laboratories and used on gays to develop the outbreak of AIDS.
Cantwell's proposal that HIV was man-made and that AIDS was introduced into the human population through the hepatitis B vaccination, is a very interesting and amusing theory. His claims seem to be very radical because his beliefs were based on assumptions. He has no real evidence that suggests and can prove that AIDS was man-made. This makes the first part of his argument questionable. He also wasn't able to prove that hepatitis B vaccinations caused AIDS, which makes the reader question the credibility of his argument. However, his claim cannot be looked down upon either because his arguments were reasonable. In other words, his arguments cannot be proven; however, it provides information that leads the reader into believing the cliché, "anything can happen." Therefore, I think that it is a good book to read for those who are interested, but it shouldn't be taken to seriously.
Overall, I recommend this book to readers who are open-minded, since the topics discussed are very controversial and resemble the science fiction novels. It's a good book to increase ones knowledge about the various theories on AIDS and the ongoing virus experiments that occurred in the 1960's. However, for those hard-core-evidence audience, the zoonosis theory seems to be more appropriate. Don't believe what I say, find out for yourself!

Summary: READ IT, READ IT, READ IT
Review: Look, I've been nosing around this epidemic for decades, and anyone out there who DARES to think that all is not kosher in the world of research and drug money, well... read on.This is no raving fringe lunatic writing a screed. This is terrifying, and should come as no surprise to anyone who knows about previous and similar clinical trials foisted upon unsuspecting minorities.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This book is a good start on studying how the aids virus came about. This along with Dr. David Horowitz's Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola--Nature, Accident or Intentional? should be enough to suggest that AIDS is man-made disease. For those of you who barf at the possiblity that it was targeted towards blacks and gays I urge you to go do your homework and see what percentage of those infected are black or gay or both. The numbers alone speak for themselves.
