They noticed - they just don't want to CURE anything, if they can help it. What would happen to all those drug companies if people got cured
Back in 1981 (I think it was) a scientist had a research grant from the government - to study the HIV/AIDS virus.
He did this for about 4 years, if I recall correctly. The last stage of his testing, was on chimps. 10 chimps. What the scientist had seen, was that there seemed to be a specific type of bacteria that quite often "hooked" itself to the HIV virus. His theory was that, if the bacteria was with the virus, then full blown AIDS developed. If it didn't have the bacteria, that it stayed in the viral stage. He had already done research on rats and hamsters - so, the next was the chimps. 5 chimps were injected with the HIV virus, without the bacteria. 5 chimps were injected with the HIV virus
WITH the bacteria. An astounding thing happened. All 5 chimps who were injected with the virus and bacteria, got full-blown aids. The 5 that
got the HIV virus without the bacteria, did not get anything. So, he needed to expand his study for the next step. He put in for his funds for the next step, and when the foundation found out that he was NOT looking for a treatment for AIDS, they did not care, one wit, about his 1000 page conclusions - they pulled his funding away from him, and put him out of business. And, of course, the funds came from a drug company. He tried several other drug companies - no go. What's that say? We know we can kill a bacteria, so, it could have been something great. I guess I should tell you that, he originally got the idea because there was a huge study done, and, as it turned out (another thing our government won't tell you), prostitutes - who should have a higher rate of AIDS then the average population - actually had a lower rate. His thought was that prostitutes might either develop an "immunity" to the bacteria, or, because some STD's are common, they got antibiotics more frequently than the average person, thereby killing not just the STD, but also the bacteria that attaches itself to the HIV virus.
As a second example, about 10-15 years ago - I think it was in the Reader's Digest - 2 girls were born to an AIDS mother. Both were infected. For some, unknown reason, within a year or two - both - both girls - were HIV-free. Several scientists asked the family (the mother had died), if they could take blood and tissue from the girls - hoping they had some natural occurring antibody to the virus. The family agreed, since the disease had taken their daughter. Within a year, the government-for some reason - stepped in, and stopped the testing, and effectively had closed the building that the scientists had been working in. (even though the building was not needed for anything else). The scientists involved tried for 2 or 3 years to get someone to finance the research - no drug company would touch it.
Now, we have a man, just a few months ago, who had HIV (not AIDS), and about a month ago, when tested - he had absolutely NO virus count in his body. Nothing - 0. Let's see if we can get some drug company to fund testing this time - the man has volunteered anything they need.
The drug companies do not want to give up their $2,100 a month "treatments", times about a million folks who have HIV in this country alone,
why would they want to give up $2,100,000,000 per month - by curing it?
