This is an incredible website - nearly 1000 scientists names are there!

Many scientists don't agree that HIV causes AIDS:

                THE CONTROVERSY

      Dr. Walter Gilbert, professor in molecular biology, 1980 Nobel prize
for chemistry:
                              

           "I would not be surprised if there were another cause of
           AIDS and even that HIV is not involved." (Omni June 1993)

      Dr. Kary Mullis, biochemist, 1993 Nobel prize for chemistry: 

           "If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be
           scientific documents which either singly or collectively
           demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There
           is no such document." (Sunday Times (London) 28 nov. 1993)

      Dr. Harry Rubin, professor of molecular and cell biology, University
of California at Berkeley:
                              

           "It is not proven that AIDS is caused by HIV infection, nor
           is it proven that it plays no role whatever in the syndrome."
           (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)

      Dr. Richard Strohman, emeritus professor of cell biology at the
University of California at Berkeley: 

           "In the old days it was required that a scientist address the
           possibilities of proving his hypothesis wrong as well as right.
           Now there's none of that in standard HIV-AIDS program
           with all its billions of dollars." (Penthouse April 1994)

      Dr. Roger Cunningham, immunologist, microbiologist and director of
the
centre for immunology at the
      State University of New York at Buffalo: 

           "Unfortunately, an AIDS 'establishment' seems to have
           formed that intends to discourage challenges to the dogma
           on one side and often insists on following discredited ideas
           on the other." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)

      Dr. Luc Montagnier, discoverer of HIV, Institute Pasteur Paris: 

           "There are too many shortcomings in the theory that HIV
           causes all signs of AIDS" (Miami Herald 23 Dec. 1990)

      Dr. Steven Jonas, professor of preventive medicine, Suny Stony Brook,
NY: 

           "Evidence is rapidly accumulating that the original theory of
           HIV is not correct." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)

      Dr. Harvey Bialy, editor of the science journal Bio/Technology: 

           "HIV is an ordinary retrovirus. There is nothing about this
           virus that is unique. Everything that is discovered about
           HIV has an analogue in other retroviruses that don't cause
           AIDS. HIV only contains a very small piece of genetic
           information. There's no way it can do all these elaborate
           things they say it does." (Spin June 1992)

      Dr. Gordon Stewart, emeritus professor of epidemiology University of
Glasgow:
                              

           "AIDS is a behavioural disease. It is multifactorial, brought
           on by several simultaneous strains on the immune system -
           drugs, pharmaceutical and recreational, sexually transmitted
           diseases, multiple viral infections." (Spin June 1992)

      Dr. Alfred Hässig, emeritus professor of immunology at the University
of Bern, former director Swiss
      Red Cross blood banks: 

           "The sentence of death accompanying the medical diagnosis
           of AIDS should be abolished." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April
1994)

      Dr. Charles Thomas, former professor of biochemistry, Harvard and
John
Hopkins Universities: 

           "The HIV-causes-AIDS dogma represents the grandest and
           perhaps the most morally destructive fraud that has ever
           been perpetrated on young men and women of the Western
           world." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)

      Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, New York physician, founder of the American
Foundation for AIDS Research
      (AmFAR): 

           "The marketing of HIV, through press releases and
           statements, as a killer virus causing AIDS without the need
           for any other factors, has so distorted research and
           treatment that it may have caused thousands of people to
           suffer and die." (Sunday times (London) 17 May 1992)

      Dr. Bernard Forscher, former editor of the U.S. Proceeding of the
National Academy of Sciences: 

           "The HIV hypothesis ranks with the 'bad air' theory for
           malaria and the 'bacterial infection' theory of beriberi and
           pellagra [caused by nutritional deficiencies]. It is a hoax that
           became a scam." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)
