The Origins of AIDS

After much research over the past nine years scientists Edward Hooper and Bill Hamilton believe that they have traced the origins of the HIV/AIDS virus to the Polio vaccine created by Dr. Hilary Koprowski in the late 50's. The Polio vaccine contained tissue from chimpanzees which may have been infected with the SIV virus (the chimpanzee form of the disease). The scientists at the Lindi research camp are now thought to have grown the vaccine in chimpanzees (specifically their kidneys) which were infected, then tested it on people from the area which is now the Democratic Republic of Congo where the first case of the disease was found in Leopoldville from a blood test in 1959.

Dr. Hilary and his team, Paul Osterrieth and Stanley Plotkin, are denying ever using chimpanzees to grow their Polio vaccine.
