When their leaders cannot be relied upon, people believe what they are led to believe. Truth and knowledge become perverted by political expediency, by the needs of the day.

The paper presented by Edward Hooper at the 2001 Lincei Conference, published in Atti dei Convegni Lincei; 2003; 187; 27-230.
This major essay, based on the speech Ed Hooper gave at the National Academy of Lincei, in Rome, in September 2001, was originally prepared for publication in the house journal, Atti dei Convegni Lincei. It is over 200 pages long, and represents Hooper’s major published response to the web of disinformation and misleading claims that certain members of the scientific community have created in response to “The River”, and in the wake of the Royal Society meeting on “Origins of HIV and the AIDS epidemic”. Hooper suggests that this essay represents useful base-line reading for any visitors to this site who are seriously interested in the question of how the AIDS pandemic began.

The history of the AIDS epidemic has been one of continuous controversy over points such as who first discovered its viral roots, how the infection made the transition from Africa to North America, and why did it spring, apparently from nowhere, 30 to 40 years ago.
Brian Martin, submission to Nature, May 2001, not published.
The theory that AIDS arose out of contaminated oral polio vaccines [1-3] has recently received publicity that goes well beyond what is warranted by new evidence. Contrary to some headlines, polio vaccines have not yet been “exonerated.” [4]

Dear Sir,
I have returned from two months’ research in Africa to find four brief correspondences published in “Nature” and “Science” [April 26, 2001] which, it is claimed, finally pour cold water on the oral polio vaccine (OPV) theory of origin of AIDS. Robin Weiss’s accompanying commentary concludes: “some beautiful facts have destroyed an ugly theory”. The reality is rather different, for these communications provide no relevant “facts”, new or otherwise, and no disproofs.

The longer Edward Hooper studied the maps, the more he believed he had solved one of the great mysteries of modern medicine.
