What They Said: Peter H. Duesberg

The Brand New Virus With Brand New Features Never Seen Before In The History of Virology

”It is dormant all the time. It never becomes active. It is dormant to begin with, it is dormant when you suffer from it, it is dormant when you die from it. There is no report in the literature describing the virus [“HIV’] ever to be active in patient. In a human being. Only in cell culture. So it’s always dormant….There is no parasite that I know of--virus, bacteria, fungus, or anything--that is dormant while it is pathogenic.

This one is.”

[Note to readers: My purpose with this post is simply to hear the voice of Peter Duesberg, one of the central voices of my life, who I interviewed for the first time in late 1987, published in Jan 1988, [Interview with Duesberg: a.i.d.s.: Words From the Front”, SPIN, January 1988.]
It’s not to take a position on whether “retroviruses exist” or “viruses” for that matter, but the man is describing something extremely important. The revolutionary newness, the queasy newness, of the new thing, this new bugaboo, the way it was branded, with such wide-eyed occultic awe, to instill in us all the idea that the bio-world was now seized by a new and revolutionary “virus.”

Fear hinged entirely on this newness. The idea of the new thing acting as nothing previously known.

I ended the quote before Peter says “And that is why I don’t believe this virus is the cause of AIDS” because the quote has more tension that way.
