MAURICE HILLEMAN, FATHER OF THE HEPATITIS B VACCINE: in this leaked recording, laughed he "imported AIDS" with vaccines made from HIV+ chimpanzee blood tested on America's gay community

Please pressure @DrPaulOffit to respond. He knows about AIDS origin, having written the biography defending Merck vaccine head Hilleman who, in this leaked recording, laughed he "imported AIDS" with vaccines made from HIV+ chimpanzee blood tested on America's gay community. 🧵 https://t.co/bs8r1ciCAn pic.twitter.com/9dKxfFax2G

The Hep B vaccine was developed by Maurice Hilleman, 1919-2005, whom Wikipedia says was "a leading American microbiologist who specialized in vaccinology and developed over 40 vaccines, an unparalleled record of productivity."  Of course, he was.

TRANSCRIPT OF 1987 LEAKED RECORDING

Hilleman was Head of Merck's Vaccine Division.  Manufactured Lot 751.

HILLEMAN:  There were 40 different viruses in these vaccines that we were inactivating, and uh . . .

SHORTER [Edward Shorter]:  But you weren't inactivating the killed . . . 

HILLEMAN:  That's right.  The Yellow Fever vaccine had the Leukemia virus in it.  This was in the days of very crude science. 

I didn't know we were importing AIDS virus at the time

SHORTER:  So it was you who introduced AIDS virus to the country.  

UNIDENTIFIED:  So now we know.  What Merck won't do to develop a vaccine.  

HILLEMAN:  It was good science at the time because that was what you did.  You didn't worry about these wild viruses.
