Title: "Professor admits faking AIDS vaccine to get $19M in grants"
Post by: WhiskeyGirl on December 27, 2013, 04:05:43 AM
I wonder how many vaccines and cures are fake?  Results cannot be duplicated?  Take the money and run? 

Apparently he has agreed not to apply for more money for three years...

An Iowa State University professor resigned after admitting he falsely claimed rabbit blood could be turned into a vaccine for the AIDS virus.

Dr. Dong-Pyou Han spiked a clinical test sample with healthy human blood to make it appear that the rabbit serum produced disease-fighting antibodies, officials said.

The bogus findings helped Han’s team obtain $19 million in research grants from the National Institutes of Health, said James Bradac, who oversees the institutes’ AIDS research.

Is he serving time in jail?  Does he have a criminal record?

Here is another article.  $4 million unspent.  Will they ask for a refund?

This seems to be the era of the snake oil salesman.  Spend billions, and trillions on research.  Will there ever be a cure for AIDs?  Cancer  just come up with more fraud, false promises, and pills.  'Earn' billions and make nothing better.  The punishment?  Agreeing to not apply for more money for three years is 'strong punishment'?  Really? 

No gravy train for this guy.  Maybe he can apply for welfare and all the goodies.  Hopefully he won't lose his home.  Wonder how much he got paid and what kid of lifestyle he was living.

just my humble opinions.

Bradac said this was the worst case of research misconduct he’d seen in his 24 years at the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Ivan Oransky, a physician and medical journalist, wrote about the sanctions against Han Monday morning on a blog called “Retraction Watch.” Oransky, who works in New York, said it’s important for researchers to be held accountable for misconduct. This case stands out from most others, he said. “It’s unusual to see someone fake results this brazenly.” Most incidents of misconduct involve someone writing down false data, not altering physical evidence, he said.

The federal documents, which were posted on a government website, say Han agreed to be banned from participating in any federally-financed research for three years. Oransky said that’s an unusually strong penalty.

Oransky said the federal documents suggest ISU officials promptly looked into the suspicions of fraud, and reported their findings. That’s a good sign, he said. Too often, he said, research institutions cover up misconduct or publish opaque accounts that fail to make clear what happened. However, he said, senior faculty should be held accountable in such cases, because they’re supposed to monitor their staff members’ work.

Oransky said he hopes federal prosecutors look into the allegations that millions of taxpayer dollars were awarded based on lies. “This is fraud, and the question is whether it’s a big enough case for the government to go after,” he said. “…I think it’s time for the government to criminally prosecute more of these cases.”

Free money?  Doesn't have to be paid back?  Nobody goes to jail?  How often does this happen in science?  Research?  Education?

Quote
Since it was a grant, the money does not ever have to be paid back – it was free money, so to speak. So far, the rest of the Cho team is swearing that they knew nothing about the fraud.

Exactly how did Dr. Dong-Pyou Han perpetrate scientific fraud? How did he succeed in making it appear as though he was a part of the Cho team’s successful bid to find a cure for AIDS?

Believe it or not, Dr. Dong-Pyou Han decided to take human blood from HIV positive people who were producing antibodies for AIDS, and mix it into rabbit blood. Suddenly, the experiment to find a cure for AIDS now appeared to be a success. Using the tainted rabbit’s blood, Dr. Dong-Pyou Han was able to make it look as though the vaccine he had developed had caused the rabbits’ bodies to build up defenses against the virus.

The faux experiment was described in the Federal Registry, which reported this news was the result of an official University investigation. Dr. Dong-Pyou Han has delivered a full confession. It had taken several years for the Cho team to become aware of the fraud, but eventually, the democracy of systematic investigation caught up with the evil Dr. Dong-Pyou Han. When team members could not replicate the original research, those rabbit blood samples were re-tested.

Until then, the scientific community had held up the Cho team’s research as presenting a significant advance in the fight to quell the global AIDS epidemic.

The federal government announced their finding of misconduct in research supported by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), grants P01 AI074286, R33 AI076083, and U19 AI091031. Han has agreed to “… exclude himself from any federal contracts for the next three years.” That’s it? What about the $19 million?

One cannot help but wonder: if this AIDS research was fake all along, then what are the odds this has happened before? What other research has been faked? We know of several cases in recent years of research being falsified. However, it is the ones we do not know about that are the most troubling. What are the odds that no one has ever faked any other research? It would be impossible to believe that we found out every time it has happened, and that all other research findings are pristine, objective and impartial. Maybe peer review is not enough. Maybe long-term confirmation of research findings should become institutionalized in the 21st century practice of science. In this case, it would have prevented throwing away $19 million of taxpayer money.

In a word where so many have died from AIDS and cancer it seems to easy to get 'free money' for research.  Is it an industry based on fraud and false promises?  Just promise anything, like a 'cure' and reap millions in 'free money'?  I can't imagine that every result set is verified.  Anyone duplicates the results.

What is wrong with this picture?

Where exactly did that money go?

I wonder how many families could live on $19 million?  Money that doesn't need t be paid back?  No prosecution, no crime because the dollar amount of fraud isn't high enough?

Maybe it's time to end the research gravy train?  Just say no to wasting taxpayer money?

Yet another vaccine researcher caught faking research; vaccine industry riddled with scientific fraud

(NaturalNews) Yet another vaccine researcher has been caught faking research on a bogus AIDS vaccine, adding to the pattern of scientific fraud and criminality that characterizes the modern-day vaccine industry. Dr. Dong-Pyou Han from Iowa State University has resigned this week after admitting he spiked rabbit blood samples with healthy human blood to falsely show the presence of antibodies that would "prove" his AIDS vaccine worked.

Quote
In the vaccine industry, fraud is part of the corporate culture, and it's found in the fraudulent science, drug price fixing, widespread bribery of doctors, the faking of "scientific" evidence and the industry's payoffs to the mainstream media in the form of advertising money.


Nearly all vaccines are founded on fraud
Now you understand why most vaccines don't work. Flu shots don't prevent the flu. Mumps and measles vaccines actually cause mumps and measles. Polio vaccines cause widespread paralysis and polio-like symptoms.

I  think of the recent problems with the vaccine for cervical cancer.  Great push to vaccinate young girls, $$$, and apparently it has problems and needs to be 'reworked'.

I recall it was pushed for funding, saving young women, and making them invincible to cancer. 

This is why we have $17 TRILLION in debt?  Obamacare?

People have been dying from AIDs for decades.  I can't imagine a family in American that hasn't had someone die from AIDs.   When does the fraud stop?

Where do these people come from?  Universities? 

These are the smart kind of people that run government?  Obamacare?

I recall the whole cervical cancer scare/push.  Cost per young girl?  $36,000?  'You want poor girls to get cancer'

IIRC, at the time, some announced that many viruses, maybe a hundred or more caused cervical cancer.  The vaccines were good for less than a dozen types each. 

What was the profit margin on every vaccine sold?  Are taxpayers getting a refund? 

Likely tv doctors will continue to tell people about miracles and the 'arsenal' of treatments and procedures available -- more seem to arrive daily, to treat any diagnosis...

What is wrong with this picture?

Questioning the AIDS Virus - The AIDS, HIV, and AZT Controversy

A growing number of scientists world-wide have publicly denounced the total failure of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, questioned the meaning of the "AIDS test", and criticized the use of AZT which has been proven to be a toxic poison that makes the patient sicker and is actually the cause of AIDS deaths. The group includes scientists such as Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1993 for inventing the
polymerase chain reaction used to test for HIV.

Since 1984, the mainstream media have been giving us only one side of the AIDS story-the officially approved side. When Dr. Robert Gallo and then Secretary of Health Margaret Heckler announced that the probable cause of AIDS had been discovered, H.I.V. became the sole cause of AIDS and the case was closed. The fact is, there have always been people questioning or disagreeing with the official theory and treatment approach, but they have been silenced.

Now, with the In House of Numbers, an AIDS film like no other, the HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten. This is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. House of Numbers could well be the opening volley in a battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic gone awry.

Charles Thomas, PhD - "AIDS is a cruel deception that is maintained because so many people are making money from it. Take away this money and the entire system of mythology will collapse."

Schopenhauer - "All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently" opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident."

Dr. Edwin F. Bowers - "Progress in medical science is, as a rule, achieved only after overcoming the manifestations of a fixed mental status, ranging all the way from violent and vitriolic opposition down to apathy and deadly intertia."

Alan Cantwell, MD - "The mixing of AIDS facts and fallacies has long been apparent to researchers like myself who are convinced that HIV did not come from Mother Nature and “species jumping” but was most likely introduced via contaminated vaccine experiments exclusively targeting the Black African and the American Gay community

Find/make a new virus and make a fortune.  H1N1 affected very few and cost American taxpayers $300-$600 per dose.  Obama spent millions on vaccines for Africa.

Why engage in honest work?   Perhaps it's just easier to find/make a new scary virus and ensure your financial future for decades?

"I was once a victim of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the medical establishment - which I think of as the "disease" establishment because they focus on disease rather than on prevention and wellness. The orthodox medical establishment wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure"; they want us to believe that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get "well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. In the story of my Journey Into Health I explain how I achieved radiant health without drugs, surgery or radiation." Shirley

It seems like everyday living is a disease to the profit mongers of the ruling class.  Physical illness not $$$ enough?  Enter the Obamacare 'mental health' parity 'fix'.  New illnesses seemingly added daily, old unprofitable illnesses removed too-just wave the magic credential wand of academia.

Where is the journey to health?  Why is everything about finding, treating, and making big $$$ profits from disease?  Millions around the world live just fine for thousands/millions of years without Obamacare and $$$ blank checks for 'healthcare' or 'insurance'.

Now another attack on vitamins?  Why be healthy for $1 a day when you can pay the medical industrial complex and ruling class thousands a month?  Have money extracted from working people to pay for the lazy and greedy?  Never ending treatments, therapies, and procedures?

There was a time in America, generation that had no contact with bed bugs or lice.  No lice, better mattresses and furniture.  A better life, even for the poor.

Today, the 'no nits' policies are gone, and bed bugs are everywhere.

Why?  Why bring more misery into the lives of everyday people?

What happened to the goal of making life better?  Eliminating lice and bed bugs?

Once a 'pest' is gone, there is no profit.  No need to build a better mouse trap or cockroach killer when mice and cockroaches aren't making people miserable.

Bed bugs and lice are big business, and profits continue to spread.
