Amazon.com Review

In this well-documented expose of AIDS and cancer research, Dr. Cantwell links the outbreak of AIDS in the late 1970s to the government-sponsored hepatitis B viral vaccine experiments that used gay men as guinea pigs in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. African AIDS traces back to smallpox vaccine programs conducted in Africa in the mid-1970s. The only book that clearly explains why AIDS is a man-made epidemic produced by a genetically-engineered, laboratory-produced virus.

Review

When Cantwell implicates agencies like the National Cancer Institute in a shadowy anti-gay conspiracy...his argument deserves thoughtful consideration. -- The Wilson Library Bulletin

I tell everyone I can about this book. You will never be the same after you read it. Especially if you've lost a loved one to "AIDS".

I have given this book to friends and donated it to libraries since its first printing. I have spoken to the author, a man dedicated to sharing this sometimes controversial information. This book makes perfect sense to me, as it follows the progression of aids around the country where hepatitis B vaccine trials were intiated. The green monkey theory is debunked as the book shows how AIDS began in Africa in the large cities with the smallpox vaccine push, not in the bush country.
A very interesting read.

Is AIDS really the Bovine and Visna Viruses spliced together?

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

The science community likes to stick with the Green Monkey theory about the origins of AIDS, but is that theory really sound? Personally, I don't think so, and you won't either after reading "AIDS and the Doctors of Death" by Dr. Alan Cantwell Jr.

Cantwell who "is a dermatologist and scientific researcher in the field of cancer and AIDS microbiology," makes a convincing argument (even though it's dated) that AIDS is a result of bioengineering in a lab, most likely in Fort Detrick, Maryland. And according to Cantwell, Dr Robert Strecker theorized that the AIDS retro virus was comprised of two other viruses that were spliced together. The first being the Bovine virus, which causes leukemia in cattle, and the second virus is Visna, which causes brain rot in sheep and replicates syphilis like conditions.

Strecker believed that the two viruses were somehow egregiously spliced together in the hopes of creating a bio-weapon for waging war. Some conspiracy theorist such as Milton William Cooper and Anthony J. Hilder (Founder of the Free World Alliance) believe that AIDS was created to eradicate Black people and Gays from the planet, considering AIDS' first appearance was in Africa and Haiti during the late 70's. And reemerged in the homosexual population, affected them in the early 80's in major metropolitan areas in the United States.
According to Cantwell, "Strecker's theory that the AIDS virus was introduced into gays via the hepatitis B vaccine trials sent shockwaves of disbelief that could only be quelled by a serious inquiry into his accusation." So, with this thought in mind, Cantwell and Strecker not only started theorizing about how the virus was created, but inquired why?

One of the reasons could have been that "The struggle for Gay Rights in the late 1970's brought about the inevitable anti-gay backlash symbolized by political groups such as the Moral Majority. To this day, the backlash persists in the form of the anti-gay Rightwing movement, and in the deadly sport of gay bashing," Furthermore, "The Gay Civil Rights Movement reached its apogee in November 1978. It was a tumultuous month, which began with the defeat of `Proposition 6' by California voters." It looked as though gays were about to become a powerful political force/lobby to be reckoned with, and the anti-gay rightwing would have had a lot to lose.

It becomes quite odd that AIDS, which started out as a heterosexual disease in Africa also started out as a homosexual disease in America. And how did African Children contract this disease if it can only be sexually transmitted or by sharing needles?
Cantwell thinks something is amiss, and for good reason. If you dissected the AIDS virus you'll quickly ascertain that it resembles the Bovine and Visna viruses, that it is a hybrid of both. Not to say that Strecker's overall theory is correct, but Cantwell seems to think this theory should be looked into more carefully because there could be a cure in it somehow.

Is there a nefarious reason for the creation of this virus, well, it's hard to determine that with no real evidence. Most of this book is just speculation, but it is speculation we should all ponder on.

Very Interesting...

Very interesting to read and gives a detailed alternative insight as to where Aids came from, why and the spread. Maybe considered a conspiracy theory by some, I am very open to other ideas and research and the points made in this book will amaze you... shock you...and certainly leaving you curious as to just what happened in the late 70's and early 80's with this epidemic.

Summary and Comments by Paul Tran

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2002

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!
