The AIDS and Covid-19 Connections

First, some definitions:

HIV – the virus that is widely assumed to be the cause of the disease AIDS.

Sars-Cov-2 – the virus (a coronavirus) that is widely assumed to be the cause of the disease Covid-19.

Though one would never know it from the mainstream media, there is considerable disagreement as to whether or not HIV has been isolated and, more importantly, as to whether it is the cause of AIDS.

For example, Etienne de Harven, MD, the scientist who produced the first electron micrograph of a retrovirus has said, “The fact that after 25 years of intense research HIV has been neither isolated nor purified in terms of classical virology indicates to us that the infectious view of AIDS as a contagious viral disease is based on an apparently non-existent microbe!”

There are two movies that discuss the mainstream theory as well as the numerous researchers and patients who do not believe the hypothesis that HIV is the cause of AIDS.

These documentaries are:

House of Numbers and Behind the Fear

Watching these movies made certain parallels between the HIV / AIDS story and the Sars-Cov-2 / Covid-19 story apparent:

In both cases, classical virology was not used to prove the existence of a virus. Classical virology relies upon Koch’s postulates which were not used to isolate HIV or Sars-Cov-2.
In both cases, rather than Koch’s postulates, the PCR test was used. The inventor of PCR – Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for it – has said that the technology should not be used as a measurement or a diagnostic tool. It is really meant as a manufacturing tool. See this article for details about the PCR test. Yet PCR was the technology used to proclaim that HIV was the cause of AIDS. PCR is now being used to proclaim the existence of Sars-Cov-2 and that it is the cause of Covid-19.
In both cases, there is little emphasis on other possible explanations for the disease. For example, the use of poppers, an inhaled drug that was commonly used in the gay community, is linked to Kaposi’s Sarcoma, a cancer that is considered to be AIDS-related. In the case of Covid there is little discussion about how the impact of the lockdown can negatively impact health outcomes.
In both cases, simple lifestyle choices that could improve the immune system such as taking vitamins, getting exercise and sunshine are ignored.
In both cases, expensive and exotic treatments are the focus of the medical community. In the case of AIDS it was anti-retroviral drugs. In the case of Covid it is Remdesivir and potential vaccines.
In both cases, the treatments can be worse than the disease. AZT was used to treat AIDS in the early days though its side effects were indistinguishable from AIDS. Today, ventilators are used for advanced Covid-19 patients though the treatment can be lethal.
