The OPV Theory

I've found myself writing about stuff that's not on my list of interests. Today, I'm tackling my first listed interest on my profile: The OPV theory.
Oral Polio Vaccination
In the 1950s, vaccines were just getting started. There were only 10 known vaccines by 1952 (the year of the polio vaccine). So, needless to say there was no real expertise with them.
When developing a vaccine, you have to actually harvest the disease in order to create/discover the antibody. The scientists involved harvested in chimpanzee cells... I think it was kidneys...
Chimpanzees carry SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) which is proven to be the ancestor of HIV.
The OPV theory proposes that HIV-1 crossed into humans by way of an oral polio vaccine (OPV) called CHAT that was prepared in chimpanzee cells and administered to nearly one million "volunteers" in central Africa (the Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi) in the late 1950s.
The television documentary, "The Origins of AIDS", shows that the denials by the vaccine-makers are far from compelling. There are substantial gaps and inconsistencies in their accounts of what they did and did not do, and these accounts are directly contradicted by numerous other witnesses. (uow.edu)
The scientists deny that they used chimps at all during this process, but their low rung assistants still living in Africa tell another story.
All three scientists involved conducted research at a chimpanzee camp at Lindi, where up to 600 chimps were housed and 400 of were "used" during the polio research.
What about the "bushmeat" theory? This theory is the most widely known and believed theory (as the government, and scientists who are paid and funded by the government would have you believe... cause it is their nature to lie when they do something terrible). The "bushmeat" theory proposes that HIV was crossed to humans by way of hunting, butchering and eating chimps. The one MAJOR problem with this theory is that hunting, butchering and eating chimps has been going on for ever.
The question is: Why did the four documented outbreaks of AIDS occurr only in the twentieth century, and not before?
There has been no REAL answer to this question.
Edward Hooper wrote a book (The River) supporting his extensive research on the OPV theory. This book caused such great controversy within the scientific world, that a "Royal Society" (the world's greatest scientists) meeting was convened to discuss. The meeting was postponed so they could "run more tests".
At the meeting, Professor Weiss would deliver the concluding remarks.
The closing speech is traditionally the moment at which a senior scientist, supposedly a neutral arbiter, attempts to pull together all the evidence that has been presented at a scientific meeting, and to arrive at some balanced conclusions. Weiss, however, gave an extremely one-sided analysis. He even admitted that his opinions were just his "plain personal prejudice", although these words did not appear in the final published version of the speech. What did appear in the published version was the following judgement: "I am not saying that the OPV hypothesis is conclusively disproved; but there is such a burden of doubt that the arguments needed to sustain the hypothesis become increasingly distorted." (uow.edu)
It has been said that the OPV theory is dead... and has been proven inaccurate. I think its bullshit... The biggest science magazines have ALWAYS rejected any articles that support this theory and are completely prejudice. They are trying to kill the theory by not letting it be recognized at all. It's like telling us that there is no genocide in Africa right now.... just fucked up!
