From the opening of the conference arguments were launched against Hooper's theory. Then there was was a surprise announcement. Samples of Kopowski's CHAT vaccine had been located and tested and found not to have any trace of HIV, SIV or chimp DNA.
Originally posted by DrHoracidMost likely there was an overwhelming presence of prions in the cultures. They probably provided the original "link" between SIV and HIV.

Why would the prions have an affect on SIV? What would demonstrate this link? There is no mention of prions in the original link. The next link talks about misdiagnosing CJD caused dementia as HIV caused dementia
Were not the vaccine stocks checked, as well as they could be checked anyway, and found not to have siv?

Virus "use" their protein as a "sheild" against the immune system.
That is the source of the SIV invasion and crossover. The "contaminated" reproduction.
The Spongifrom Encephalopathy (SE) is a lesion, described for the human beings in the Creutzfeldt Jacob disease (CJD), the Gerstmann-Straüssler-Scheinker syndrome, the fatal familial insomnia, the Kuru, and for the animals, particularly in the frame of the epidemy of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), responsible for the actual crisis of mad cow. The pathologic form of prion (mutated form) would be the causal agent of these SE (SB. Prusiner, 1981). Other authors (L. Manuelidis, 1995) have suggested that a retrovirus (not yet identified) could intervene as a causal agent.
SE lesions have been described on histological sections from the brain of a patient suffering from AIDS dementia (J. Schwenk, 1987). These lesions have been since described (J. Artigas, 1989) for 5 other HIV+ patients. However, a publication recently reported 67 cases of SE on 200 autopsies of patients dead of AIDS (AJ Martinez et coll., Path. Res. Pract. 191, 427-443, 1995).
This lesion appears not to be an epiphenomenon, but maybe a major component of AIDS.
