In this well-documented expose of AIDS and cancer research, Dr. Cantwell links the outbreak of AIDS in the late 1970s to the government-sponsored hepatitis B viral vaccine experiments that used gay men as guinea pigs in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. African AIDS traces back to smallpox vaccine programs conducted in Africa in the mid-1970s. The only book that clearly explains why AIDS is a man-made epidemic produced by a genetically-engineered, laboratory-produced virus.
