국제소식] HIV를 증명하는 사람에게 1천 파운드의 상금을 수여하기로!   [국제소식] HIV를 증명하는 사람에게 1천 파운드의 상금을 수여하기로! HIV가 독립적인 실체라면 △조직배양과 초원심분리기에 의한 정제가 가능해야 하며 △일정 농도에서 물질의 전자현미경 사진을 찍을 수 있고 △역전사 효소함유 세포와 세포 전염성의 증거 등이 밝혀져야 한다. HIV 가설을 부정하는 에이즈 연구자들이 편집하는 <콘티누움>(continuum)은 이런 증거를 제시하는 연구자에게 1천파운드의 상금을 주겠다고 선언했지만 아직까지 상금은 그대로 적립돼 있다. 원문을 보고자 하는 사람은 클릭하시오. http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/award.htm MISSING VIRUS! ￡ 1000 Reward Blind romantics still believe HIV causes AIDS. But if 'HIV' has never been isolated, what is AIDS? Never isolated? You bet! A cash prize of ￡ 1000 is offered to the first person finding one scien- tific paper establishing actual isolation of HIV. If you or a friendly 'AIDS expert' can prove isolation, ￡ 1000 is yours. In cash. In public. Interested? Pledge the money to your favourite AIDS charity, why not? We bet you'll be surprised to discover the truth. c o n t i n u u m CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT AIDS The Rules of Isolation The rules for isolation of a retrovirus were thoroughly discussed at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, in 1973, and are the logical minimum requirements for establishing the independent existence of HIV. They are: 1.Culture of putatively infected tissue. 2. Purification of specimens by density gradient ultracentrifugation. 3. Electron micrographs of particles exhibiting the morfological characteristics and dimensions (100-120nm) of retroviral particles at the sucrose (or percoll) density of 1.16 gm/ml and containing nothing else, not even particles of other morphologies or dimensions. 4. Proof that the particles contain reverse transcriptase. 5. Analysis of the particles' proteins and RNA and proof that these are unique. 6. Proof that 1-5 are a property only of putatively infected tissues and can not be induced in control cultures. These are identical cultures, that is, tissues obtained from matched, unhealthy subjects and cultured under identical conditions differing only in that they are not putatively infected with a retrovirus. 7. Proof that the particles are infectious, that is when PURE particles are introduced into an uninfected culture or animal, the identical particle is obtained as shown by repeating steps 1-5.
