Emerging Viruses
Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola: Nature, Accident or Intentional?

by Leonard G. Horowitz,

Reviews: Booknews, Inc., June 1, 1996

Horowitz (public health author) presents thoroughly researched information in his exploration into the origins of the HIV and Ebola viruses. His bias toward the theory that HIV was introduced into the general population by vaccine experiments conducted in New York City and Africa, is apparent. He generalizes from this thesis that the AIDS epidemic may have been deliberately deployed as a genocide tactic as part of the CIA foreign policy activity in Central Africa. The volume is characteristic of a "conspiracy genre," and as such presents its facts with an eye toward a predisposed conclusion. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Midwest Book Review: Health professionals and those involved in infectious disease research will find Emerging Viruses startling: Harvard researcher Horowitz's studies gather evidence to conclude that AIDS and the Ebola viruses evolved during cancer virus experiments in which monkeys were infected with viral genes from other animals. Certain to spark controversy, this provides quite a different view of virus mutations and evolution.

Wills presents fascinating, well-documented accounts of how various bacteria, viruses, and other microbes have, over the centuries, adapted to changing conditions to achieve those goals.
