AIDS made in a laboratory According to sources, "AIDS virus originated in a U.S government biological warfare research laboratory in early 1989." (By Contrast, I Had Read about the Storm of Controversy That Peter. "Was There an AIDS Contract? [Morrissey]." Was There an AIDS Contract? [Morrissey]. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Oct. 2016.) If this is true, that would mean that AIDS was created by the government. AIDS virus is identical to two other diseases/ viruses. The first is Visna and the second HTLV-1 (human T-cell Leukemia Virus.) Visna causes a fatal disease in sheep, and does not infect humans but is still extremely fatal. "AIDS patients who do not die of the consequences of immune deficiency show the same damage to the brain, lungs, intestines, …show more content…
Segal gives us too much credit since this is the most complex virus we have seen. We can’t even make a simple one. If it were as he says we would also have the technology to eliminate it and we do not, at least, not yet." (Antonio L. DiAngelo) (By Contrast, I Had Read about the Storm of Controversy That Peter. "Was There an AIDS Contract? [Morrissey]." Was There an AIDS Contract? [Morrissey]. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Oct. 2016.) HTLV is similar to Visna but is much more complex. This can be used on either side of the debate. Every different point of view we hear contradicts another side that we've seen. The only people who know the truth are the scientists in the labs who may or may not have created the AIDS virus. There are multiple people who have different theories about this conspiracy. Julie Overbaugh wrote an article that demonstrated the idea that it’s possible to produce a new virus in the lab. Which made it appear that Segals conspiracy could not be ruled out. The other portion of people who do not support or agree with the theorie(s) usually have their own version of the story. Many of facts presented by the AIDS conspirator (Segal) can be flipped to then support the opposing viewpoints. Such as AIDS being "closely related" to Visna. Close, may not be close enough for opposing …show more content…
DiAndelo says that Segal does not know what the effects of combining two current, or already existing viruses could potentially create. Segal says that the effect was AIDS. Accusations were made towards Segal’s credibility, although his information has been back up thus far. Contrary to Segal’s theory, the official first reporting go AIDS, or death because of AIDS, was in 1959. At the time it was not referred to as AIDS because the virus had not yet been named or identified. Since Segal claims that the first reporting of AIDS was in New York in 1979, people are skeptical. People could argue that AIDS is not a manmade virus because doctors work so hard to cure and help the people who suffer from it. Although nobody can give positive reasoning towards their version about why science was on the good side, and Segal on the bad side, or vice versa. Scientists, such as a German researcher and an environmental activist had their beliefs. But as stated before, could not give reasoning. The German researcher said it was possible to mix viruses. The Environmental Activist said that it would have been possible to create AIDS but that it was most likely a mistake made in the
