Hello, I’m Paul Franks and I’ve written a conspiracy-thriller called ‘A Dive Into Darkness’ based upon my four years researching HIV/AIDS. In this original podcast series, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the book and its four-year writing process, from inspiration to publication, and all points in between.

In Episode Ten of ‘A Dive Into Darkness’, ‘HIV denialists’ I will focus on some of the very many scientists who disagree with the official ‘HIV causes AIDS’ narrative. A narrative which I believe should have been declared null and void in 2002, when Montagnier admitted in a self-penned article that the only ‘AIDS virus’ he grew in his lab, from Patient LAI, a Kaposi’s sarcoma suffering male homosexual called Christope Lailler, was contaminated. I studied the HIV denier scientists because, although I am led by evidence and data, I am no scientist and no medic, and I wanted to know whether or not I had completely got hold of the wrong end of the wrong stick.

The first group of HIV denialists I looked at was the ‘Perth Group’. The Perth Group was formed in 1981 in Perth, Western Australia and consists of a biophysicist, an emergency physician, a Professor of Pathology John Papadimitriou, and several other scientists. The view of The Perth Group is that the HIV/AIDS experts have not proven the following: the existence of a unique, exogenously acquired retrovirus, HIV; that "HIV" antibody tests are specific for "HIV" infection; the HIV theory of AIDS, that is, that HIV causes acquired immune deficiency or that it leads to the development of AIDS; that the "HIV genome", (RNA or DNA) originates in a unique, exogenously acquired infectious retroviral particle; that HIV or AIDS are infectious, either by blood, blood products or sexual intercourse; the mother to child transmission of a retrovirus HIV or its inhibition with AZT. 

Another pair of HIV deniers are Peter Duesberg and Kary Mullis. Both deserve their own episodes but I’ll briefly touch on Kary Mullis today. In his 1996 interview with Garry Null, Mullis awarded ‘The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1993 for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method’, expounds on all things HIV/AIDS, including his belief that America’s AIDS czar Anthony Fauci, knows nothing about anything. He calls the official  ‘HIV causes AIDS’ narrative ‘dumb’ and ‘crazy’. ‘Every single thing’ about it was wrong, ‘there’s no evidence’. ‘Every bit of the data is wacky, and all of the conclusions are wrong.’ ‘The entire AIDS establishment is absolutely guilty of some hideous sins and everybody’s been fooled. Everybody on the planet has been fooled by a handful of greedy people without any scruples’. He told his mother ‘the entire medical establishment’ was wrong, that he had studied this really well and concluded ‘there wasn’t anything out there that was causing people to die that is called HIV.’

An emeritus professor of pathology and decades long retroviral researcher, Etienne de Harvan, wrote in 2010 that, Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) are confounding factors in HIV/AIDS research that cannot be ignored. Evidence suggests that “viral load” may actually be measuring retroviral nucleoside sequences associated with HERVs. HERVs also provide a valid explanation for the presence of retroviruses recognizable by electron microscopy (EM) in the original 1983 publication from the Institut Pasteur, and may account for claims of innumerable “mutations” of the putative HIV pathogen. The interference of HERVs in AIDS research brings into question the subject of study in so-called “AIDS Research,” and the very existence of an exogenous HIV pathogen itself.  The retroviral hypothesis linking HIV to AIDS received a precipitous acceptance, not on the basis of scientifically verifiable data, but based on a so-called “consensus”—a consensus enthusiastically supported by the pharmaceutical industry.’

As I said in the previous episode, once I had determined that the official HIV causes AIDS narrative was bogus, I then turned all my research energy into trying to discover the actual cause of AIDS. I will, I promise, begin telling you about that search in Episode Eleven of ‘A Dive Into Darkness.’

Thank you for listening to Episode Ten of ‘A Dive Into Darkness’. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please tell your friends about it and give the podcast a rating and a like.

Till the next time, goodbye and happy reading.
