Some of you may have seen a post regarding our new disk "AIDS - THE
TRUTH" which is based on information indicating considerable doubt about
the accepted HIV-AIDS correlation-cause relationship given HIV fails the
classic Koch test. I have been accused of crimes like those of Adolph
Eichman and other famous Nazis for daring convention in spite of the fact
that I have the facts and the data. While none of this belongs here, let
me tell you who I am and why I am doing this:
I was trained as a science teacher and taught from 1959 through 1967, eight
years. In 1960 I developed a filmstrip series that became the best
selling series in the history of that business, "The Microscope And Its
Use" for SVE. Then I went on to do series for Encyclopaedia Britannica
Films, MCA Universal Pictures UEVA, Doubleday & Co., Harcourt Brace
Jovanovich, Sea World, Prentice Hall, and others finally racking up more
than 300 screen credits while also doing over 100 magazine features and
columns for magazines ranging from SEVENTEEN to THE SMITHSONIAN with SKIN
DIVER and THE JOURNAL FOR THE ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY OF GREAT
BRITAIN, installed as a "Fellow" there. Published two books in New York
and did television commercials, in-service and marketing audiovisual
shows and and on...
In the 70's I had a homosexual business partner because he was the best
in the field and I was frankly flattered he, and a mutual friend Harvard
College MBA, would "partner" with me. He died of AIDS a few years ago.
His sexual proclivities were of no interest, bother or problem for me.
On the job, and in the business, he was the best, and that was what we
were all about in that relationship. We did well. That's business.
I would like to see the science relating to this disease get on a firm
footing, and today it is not, which is part of the reason no cure has
been found and none will ever be as long as the current attitudes
prevail. I will not be put down for this and those who oppose my
questions need only reflect on the matter that they are nothing more than
questions based on hard evidence. The responsibility is theirs and
putting me down will not solve the problem.
Sincerely, Adrian Vance
