Harvey Bialy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harvey Bialy is an American molecular biologist and AIDS dissident. He was one of the original signatories to the letter establishing the Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis,[1] the editor of its first newsletter,[2] and has been a member of the South African Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel, from April 2000 – present.
Bialy is a resident scholar of the Institute of Biotechnology (IBT) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Cuernavaca,[3] a position he has held since 1996, where he serves as director of the Virtual Library of Biotechnology for the Americas. The Virtual Library receives 100% of the profits from Bialy's book,[citation needed] which was published jointly by the Institute of Biotechnology and the National University (the first book ever published by the IBT, and the first English language book ever published by the UNAM),[citation needed] and was recently translated into Spanish by Dr. Roberto Stock, a senior investigator at the Institute of Biotechnology, and published by the National University of Mexico Press (ISBN 970-32-2599-3).
Bialy graduated first in his class from Bard College in 1966, and was awarded a Ph.D. in molecular biology in 1970 by the University of California, Berkeley. He is the founding scientific editor of Bio/technology (part of the Nature family of publications), and edited its peer-reviewed content from 1983-1996. He has coauthored significant papers in molecular genetics — among them being the first to show that phage genes can subvert host functions [4][5], and numerous editorials and commentaries on contemporary issues in biotechnology in Nature Biotechnology and other journals.
Bialy was the co-recipient (with Prof. Stanley Falkow, Stanford University) of a grant from the Charles Merill Trust to study antibiotic resistant pathogens in Nigeria in 1978. He received a World Health Organization grant to study the epidemiology and genetics of antibiotic resistant enteric pathogens in Nigeria in 1982. He worked as a visiting researcher or research fellow at several universities in the United States, and Africa throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He was advisor to the Center for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering in Havana, Cuba from 1986-1996.
Bialy authored Oncogenes, Aneuploidy, and AIDS (ISBN 1-55643-531-2), a book about the scientific life of fellow molecular biologist and AIDS dissident Peter Duesberg, with special emphasis on Duesberg's aneuploidy theory of cancer and on the politics of modern science.
He is also an artist and poet. Some of his work can be seen at his website "bialy/s".

[edit] Quotes
- "HIV is an ordinary retrovirus. There is nothing about this virus that is unique. Everything that is discovered about HIV has an analogue in other retroviruses that are not said to cause AIDS. HIV only contains a very small piece of genetic information. There's no way it can do all these elaborate things they say it does." (Spin, June 1992)
- "From both my literature review and my personal experience over most of the AIDS – so called AIDS centres in Africa, I can find absolutely no persuasive evidence that Africa is in the midst of a new epidemic of infectious immunodeficiency." (Meditel 1992)
- "The virus theory has produced nothing...a vaccine that doesn't exist; AZT, which is iatrogenic genocide; and condom use, which is common sense." (Sunday Times (London), 26 April 1992 "Experts Mount Startling Challenge to AIDS Orthodoxy", Neville Hodgkinson)
- "We have taken sex and equated it with death, and into that mixture we have thrown money. What an ugly stew." (ibid)
- "AIDS is consensual death." (back cover of Infectious AIDS)
