The exchange between the author of Emerging Viruses: AIDS and >>Ebola-Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron Publishing Group, >>1997), Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard graduate, independent investigator, >>and internationally known public health authority, and Dr. Satcher, >>followed a recommendation for a moratorium on vaccines by the Nation of >>Islam's Health Minister, Dr. Alim Muhammad, and a special legislative >>committee meeting of the National Medical Association, representing black >>physicians of America, in which the book's main thesis, and supportive >>documentation, was considered. All parties agreed that growing fears over >>vaccine contaminations, and associated health risks, should be addressed at >>another meeting proposed, then cancelled, by Dr. Satcher. >> Dr. Horowitz, supported by thousands of concerned citizens in a >>rapidly growing grass roots coalition, accepted Dr. Satcher's invitation in >>writing contingent upon an official investigation into the role the CDC >>played in "developing the vaccine that most plausibly delivered AIDS to the >>world." In his book, two man-made theories of AIDS's origin are advanced >>and bolstered by astonishing government documents including National Cancer >>Institute reports showing how much U. S. taxpayers spent for contracts to >>develop and test immune system destroying viruses on monkeys and humans. >>According to Dr. Horowitz's theory, the CDC, >> >>Tetrahedron Release No. 97-EV/9 >>June 1997: pg. 2 of 2 >>FDA, and Merck & Company, a leading vaccine manufacturer, developed 200,000 >>human doses of a potentially contaminated experimental hepatitis B vaccine >>that was given to thousands of Central Africans, gay men in New York City, >>and mentally retarded children on Staten Island, simultaneously in 1974- >>perfect timing for the initial outbreak of AIDS cases in these areas by >>1978. >> In an official letter to Dr. Horowitz in which he withdrew his >>invitation to meet, Dr. Satcher stated the "CDC believes that scientific >>evidence is the foundation for sound public health policies," and that Dr. >>Horowitz's allegations "do not appear to be based on credible, >>evidence-based information." >> In response, Dr. Horowitz reported to thousands of >>internet-workers, and the press, that Dr. Satcher's comments were false and >>misleading. "If the CDC truly demanded rigorous scientific proof to support >>its public health policies," Dr. Horowitz said, then the CDC would also be >>calling for a moratorium on virtually all vaccinations "which, to date, >>lack definitive scientific analyses showing positive risk/benefit ratios." >>In fact, Dr. Horowitz wrote Dr. Satcher, CDC and pharmaceutical company >>experts "don't really know whether vaccines are harming or killing more >>people than they are helping or saving." >> Likewise, Dr. Horowitz questioned how much scientific evidence the >>CDC and FDA officials demanded when their "mutual consent was given to >>blood and pharmaceutical interests to sustain the use of HIV contaminated >>clotting factor VIII and blood supplies to the public between 1983 and >>1986," despite the fact that these officials predicted thousands would die >>as a result. Furthermore, in 1984, when the hepatitis B vaccine link to the >>AIDS epidemic was first advanced then investigated by CDC and Merck, Sharp >>& Dohme collaborators, homosexual men in New York City were known to be the >>primary and earliest test subjects for the suspected vaccine. Yet the CDC >>omitted the New York City gay men from their investigation and focused only >>on Denver and San Francisco populations that had not been immunized using >>the earliest, most implicated, vaccine lots. "No wonder your 'expert' CDC >>authors remained 'Anonymous' on this Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report," >>Dr. Horowitz chided. I too would feel ashamed to affix my name to such >>bogus 'science.'" >> Regarding Dr. Satcher's inability to see any "credible >>evidence-based information" in Dr. Horowitz's writings, the author replied, >>"If he did, he would also see himself and his agency are now fully exposed. >>And since rumor has it that President Clinton is considering Dr. Satcher >>for the Surgeon General post, putting on the 'Emperors new clothes' suits >>him fine-a black man who can watch his own people, and millions of others, >>die without seeing anything." >> -end - >>NOTE TO JOURNALISTS: For a feature article on Dr. Horowitz's investigative >>research, a list of internationally recognized experts who can verify Dr. >>Horowitz's research, or for a review copy of his book, please call Jackie >>Lindenbach at 508-546-6586. >> > >-> Send "subscribe snetnews " to majordomo@world.std.com >-> Posted by: "Byron Weeks, MD" <doc777@cyberhighway.net> > > > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew Mitchell : Counselor at Law, federal witness B.A., Political Science, UCLA; M.S., Public Administration, U.C.
