A question for Groq about HHV-6/7/8 and African Swine Fever Virus

-

 Would HHV-6, HHV-7 and HHV-8 be taken more seriously if they were recognized to have a relationship to African Swine Fever?


HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 are all human herpesviruses that have been associated with various diseases and conditions. While they are distinct viruses with different properties and behaviors, they can all cause a range of symptoms and complications.

Regarding African Swine Fever (ASF), it's important to note that HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 are not directly related to ASF. ASF is a viral disease that affects pigs and is caused by the African Swine Fever virus (ASFV). The viruses mentioned above are human herpesviruses that infect humans, not pigs.

However, if there were a connection between HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 and African Swine Fever, it could potentially lead to a deeper understanding of the viruses and their interactions. For instance:

Immune system modulation: HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 are known to modulate the immune system, which could potentially affect the host's response to ASFV infection.
Co-infection and immune suppression: Co-infection with HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 could lead to immune suppression, making pigs more susceptible to ASFV infection.
Viral interference: The presence of HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 could potentially interfere with the replication of ASFV, reducing the severity of the disease.
While there is currently no direct link between HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 and African Swine Fever, understanding the interactions between these viruses could lead to new insights into the pathogenesis of ASF and potentially inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

In summary, while there is no direct connection between HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8 and African Swine Fever, exploring potential relationships between these viruses could lead to a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between viruses and the immune system.

Why HIV should be referred to as "a red herring."

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Make the case that the critics of the HIV theory of AIDS would be more effective at their messaging to politicians and the public by constantly referring to HIV as a red herring. Critics of the HIV theory of AIDS—those who argue that HIV is not the causative agent of AIDS—often struggle to convey their message effectively to politicians and the public because the scientific consensus firmly upholds the link between HIV and AIDS. However, from a communications strategy perspective, such critics might amplify the clarity and urgency of their argument by consistently describing HIV as a "red herring." Here’s why this tactic could make their messaging more effective: 1. Framing the Narrative Labeling HIV as a "red herring" frames the dominant scientific focus on the virus as a distraction from finding the true cause of AIDS (as the critics would argue). This concise phrase presents the debate in terms of misdirection, which is an accessible and com...

Inconsistencies in the HIV theory of AIDS

-
 From Perplexity A.I. List 20 inconsistencies that raise questions about HIV Here is a list of 20 commonly cited inconsistencies or questions raised by critics who question some aspects of the HIV-AIDS scientific consensus. These points are drawn from various scientific critiques, denialist perspectives, and calls for broader inquiry; however, note that the overwhelming scientific consensus confirms HIV as the cause of AIDS, and many of these points have been addressed by research: Non-correlation between HIV presence and AIDS in some populations, e.g., variable AIDS risk despite HIV infection based on gender or geography. AIDS indicator diseases exist in HIV-negative individuals, showing that AIDS-defining illnesses can occur without HIV. AIDS cases concentrated in risk groups but without exponential infectious spread pattern expected of a viral epidemic. Variable incubation time — AIDS symptoms often appear many years after HIV infection, which critics argue is inconsistent with ...

HIV as "The Matrix"

-
From Perplexity A.I. Make the case that the HIV paradigm of AIDS is like "The Matrix," and the critics are actually the red pill. The HIV paradigm of AIDS can be argued to resemble "The Matrix" in the sense that it represents a pervasive and deeply entrenched worldview accepted by mainstream medicine and society: the belief that HIV is the definitive cause of AIDS. In this analogy: The Matrix represents the dominant, consensus-driven framework in which people, including politicians, medical professionals, and the public, operate—trusting the overwhelming scientific evidence, standardized testing, and decades of successful antiretroviral treatment. The "red pill"—famously taken by Neo to "wake up" and see reality outside the simulated world—symbolizes critics of the HIV theory. These critics propose alternative explanations for AIDS, claim mainstream science is misleading or suppressing dissent, and encourage others to question the prevailing scie...

If HIV is definitively proven not to be the cause of AIDS, what class action lawsuits could be launched involving, diagnosis, treatment, and stigmatization?

From Perplexity A.I.   If HIV is definitively proven not to be the cause of AIDS, what class action lawsuits could be launched involving, diagnosis, treatment, and stigmatization? If HIV were definitively proven not to be the cause of AIDS, potential class action lawsuits could arise around the themes of misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and stigmatization related to HIV/AIDS. Specifically, lawsuits might target: Misdiagnosis and Treatment Harm: Patients treated for HIV/AIDS with antiretroviral drugs that later prove ineffective or harmful could sue pharmaceutical companies for negligence or product liability. For example, past lawsuits have claimed that some HIV drugs were toxic to kidneys and bones and that companies withheld safer alternatives to maximize profits. If HIV is disproven as the cause of AIDS, the entire basis for these treatments could be challenged, possibly leading to large-scale damages claims. Fraudulent Diagnosis and Medical Malpractice: If HIV tests and diagnosis pr...

AIDS as an epidemic of inflammation

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Make the case that the AIDS establishment has not been open about the shift in the AIDS paradigm to recognizing it as a disease of inflammation, and the need to go back and question everything about AIDS. The case that the AIDS establishment has not been forthcoming about the shift in understanding AIDS as fundamentally driven by chronic inflammation, and that this demands a reevaluation of longstanding assumptions, rests on several observations: Emerging Scientific Evidence on Chronic Inflammation as Central to HIV/AIDS Progression Recent research strongly indicates that chronic systemic inflammation and immune activation are at the heart of HIV pathogenesis and complications, even in people effectively treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Specifically, the persistent activation of the immune system caused by HIV leads to gut epithelial damage, microbial translocation into the bloodstream, and sustained inflammation that contributes to comorbidities lik...

The Orwellian nature of the word "denialist."

-
From Perplexity A.I. Make the case that the minute the word "denialist" enters a discussion, the discussion has become Orwellian. One can make the case that the minute the word “denialist” enters a discussion, the conversation risks becoming Orwellian—in the sense George Orwell used to describe the use of language as a tool for control—because the label itself can function less as a description of a person’s position and more as a means of closing off debate and controlling thought. Here’s the reasoning: 1. Language as a Thought-Stopper In Orwell’s 1984, "Newspeak" was designed to make certain kinds of thought literally impossible by shrinking the vocabulary and loading words with connotations that shut down critical thought. When someone is called a “denialist,” it often carries the implicit assumption that their position is not just wrong, but morally equivalent to denying well-established historical atrocities (e.g., Holocaust denial). This rhetorical move refram...

Pigs with ASFV also develop hypovolemia?

  Do pigs with African Swine Fever develop hypovolemia? Do pigs with African Swine Fever develop hypovolemia? Pigs infected with  African Swine Fever (ASF)  commonly develop clinical signs and pathological changes highly suggestive of  hypovolemia , particularly due to the disease’s severe hemorrhagic and vascular effects. ASF causes widespread hemorrhages and vascular damage . Typical findings include petechial (pinpoint) hemorrhages in the kidneys, severe hemorrhagic lymphadenitis, pulmonary and gall bladder edema, and effusions (straw-colored or blood-stained fluid) in the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities . These extensive hemorrhages and vascular leakages can lead to a  significant loss of blood volume , resulting in classic features of hypovolemic shock—such as weakness, recumbency, prostration, incoordination, pale mucous membranes, and death from shock . The underlying mechanism is  severe disruption of blood vessels  and disseminat...

" A new study finds that prior herpesvirus infections are linked to a faster age-related increase in blood biomarkers associated with dementia, even in cognitively healthy women. Researchers measured five key biomarkers in 167 women and found that seropositivity for HHVs doubled the rate of biomarker accumulation compared to those without prior infection. The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6, with amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau levels most affected. These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors."

Ablashi discusses HHV-6, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

"HHV-6 is actually likely to reduce HIV patient survival by accelerating the depletion of CD4 and CD8 T cells. HHV-6A was shown to accelerate AIDS progression in macaques.  Macaques co-infected with simian HIV and HHV-6A died quickly and showed a dramatic depletion in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, whereas those infected with only simian HIV never progressed to full blown AIDS."  "We believe that infections are the most logical explanation for the inflammation neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s , but don’t believe that there is a single pathogen responsible. HHV-6A and HHV-7 were identified as likely culprits in 2018 paper , using RNAseq analysis by Readhead and team. Two subsequent studies did not find an increase in HHV-6/7 using the same data, but at the same time did not find a significant presence of ANY herpesviruses in the brain, which we know is not the case. Dozens of careful studies have identified a high prevalence of low-level HHV-6 and HSV1 DN...

This indicates an ASF attempt to infect the body and the possibility of a serious weakening of the immune system,” Pavlov said. From 2018 ASF Russia: consumers want liability for sellers of contaminated meat (pigprogress.net) African Swine Fever is a big story already because, when and if it spreads to all of Western Europe and China, it will cause the collapse of a major portion of the agricultural export economies of the affected countries.
