HHV-8 may be a pig virus
The porcine lymphotropic herpesvirus 1 encodes functional regulators of gene expression


"Recently, new porcine lymphotropic gammaherpesviruses (PLHV-1, -2 and -3) have been identified, which are highly prevalent in domestic and feral pigs. The genomes of these viruses are homologous to those of the human gammaherpesviruses Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), which are frequently associated with important diseases in transplant recipients (Ehlers et al., 1999; Ulrich et al., 1999; Goltz et al., 2002; Chmielewicz et al., 2003). EBV is associated with post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), affecting approximately 1–10% of solid organ transplant recipients (reviewed by Razonable and Paya, 2003). HHV-8 is tightly linked to Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), which occurs in up to 5% of patients receiving a transplant (reviewed by Singh, 2000). Importantly, PLHV-1 was found to be involved in the etiology of a lymphoproliferative disease, affecting experimentally transplanted and immunosuppressed miniature swine. This porcine disease resembled the EBV-associated PTLD in humans (Huang et al., 2001)."

We asked Groq "What Black Swan event could show that a virus different from HIV is the real cause of AIDS?"

-
  What Black Swan event could show that a virus different from HIV is the real cause of AIDS?  I must emphasize that HIV is widely accepted by the scientific community to be the cause of AIDS, and there is overwhelming evidence to support this conclusion. However, I can provide a hypothetical scenario for a Black Swan event that could potentially challenge this consensus: A rare and unusual outbreak of a previously unknown virus is identified in a specific geographic region, and it is found to be highly correlated with the development of AIDS-like symptoms in infected individuals. This virus is distinct from HIV in its genetic makeup, structure, and replication mechanism. The key characteristics of this Black Swan event could include: The virus is highly infectious and spreads rapidly through a specific population or community. The virus is found to be present in the blood and other bodily fluids of infected individuals, but it is not detectable using standard HIV testing m...

GROQ on the nature of medical Ponzi schemes

-
 What does it mean when someone calls a medical theory that is guiding diagnosis and treatment a "Ponzi scheme"? When someone calls a medical theory guiding diagnosis and treatment a "Ponzi scheme," they're making a metaphorical comparison. A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment scam where returns are paid to existing investors using money from new investors, rather than from profit earned. The scheme relies on continuous recruitment of new investors to provide the funds needed to pay earlier investors. In the context of medicine, calling a theory a "Ponzi scheme" implies that: The theory relies on continuous influx of new patients or data to sustain its claims, rather than being supported by robust scientific evidence. The theory's success is based on convincing early adopters or investors (in this case, patients or healthcare providers) to continue using it, rather than being driven by genuine scientific merit. The theory lacks a solid foundation...

Characterization of a cidofovir-resistant HHV-6 mutant obtained by in vitro selection.

-
Pascale Bonnafous, David Boutolleau, Lieve Naesens, Claire Deback, Agnès Gautheret-Dejean, Henri Agut Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6, EA2387, Groupe Hospitalier Pitié-Salpêtrière, 83 boulevard de l’Hôpital, F-75013 Paris, France. Cidofovir (CDV) was used for in vitro selection of a human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) mutant with decreased susceptibility to this drug. The resulting mutant was highly resistant to CDV as compared to its sensitive counterpart (inhibitory concentration 50%(IC(50)): 213muM versus 1.8muM). Its replication fitness was not impaired. Genotypic characterization of the resistant virus revealed a mutation in the U38 gene encoding the viral DNA polymerase. The resulting R798I amino acid change was located in the conserved domain VII close to the highly conserved motif KKRY interacting with the DNA primer-template duplex, and is likely responsible for the high-level resistance to CDV, even though a definite virological and/or biochemical confirmation...

GROQ on authoritarianism in science and medicine

 Can a.i. recognize authoritarianism in science and medicine? What a fascinating and timely question! While AI systems can be designed to recognize patterns and anomalies in data, recognizing authoritarianism in science and medicine is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of the nuances of human behavior, power dynamics, and the scientific method. AI systems can be trained to identify certain characteristics of authoritarianism, such as: Disregard for evidence: AI can be trained to recognize when scientific evidence is being ignored or dismissed in favor of personal opinions or biases. Suppression of dissent: AI can be trained to identify instances where dissenting voices are being silenced or marginalized, and to recognize the importance of diverse perspectives in scientific inquiry. Lack of transparency: AI can be trained to detect when scientific findings or methods are being kept secret or hidden from the public, and to recognize the importance of transparency in s...

Teresa Binstock on HHV-6 and Autism

This is an information-packed site for anyone who wants to know the possible role of HHV-6 in autism. In many ways, children with autism and their parents are pay the price of what appears to be either massive stupidity about HHV-6 on the part of the CDC and the NIH or something far more sinister. Whether it is clownishness or a cover-up, the cost of not admitting the role of HHV-6 in a number of diseases is astounding. https://web.archive.org/web/20070217012456/http://members.jorsm.com/~binstock/hhv6.htm If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism (and many other so-called HHV-6 related mysterious epidemics) are part of the so-called AIDS epidemic.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism both are cl...

A fictional Perplexity debate about whether HIV is endogenous

-
  Can you stage a fictional debate between two scientists about whether HIV is endogenous or exogenous Can you stage a fictional debate between two scientists about whether HIV is Endogenous? Answer A Fictional Debate: Is HIV Endogenous or Exogenous? Dr. Smith : Good evening, Dr. Johnson. I'd like to challenge the conventional wisdom that HIV is an exogenous virus. I believe there's compelling evidence to suggest that HIV might actually be endogenous to humans. Dr. Johnson : That's quite a bold claim, Dr. Smith. I'm intrigued to hear your reasoning, but I must say I'm skeptical. The scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports HIV as an exogenous virus. Dr. Smith : I understand your skepticism, but consider this: HIV shares similarities with human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), which make up about 8% of our genome 1 .  Some HERVs are activated during HIV infection, suggesting a potential evolutionary relationship. Dr. Johnson : While it's true that HERVs can b...

GROQ on the epistemology of science

-
 What is the epistemology of science? The epistemology of science refers to the study of the nature, sources, and limits of scientific knowledge. It examines the ways in which scientists acquire, validate, and justify their knowledge claims, as well as the social, cultural, and historical contexts in which scientific inquiry takes place. Epistemology of science is concerned with questions such as: What is the nature of scientific truth? Is it absolute, relative, or provisional? How do scientists determine what is true and what is false? What are the criteria for evaluating scientific theories and hypotheses? How do scientists account for the limitations and biases of their own knowledge and methods? What role do social, cultural, and historical factors play in shaping scientific knowledge? Some key concepts in the epistemology of science include: Objectivity: The idea that scientific knowledge is objective, meaning it is independent of personal opinions, biases, and cultural influe...

When reactivated, they can cause serious clinical conditions. Researchers from Würzburg have now found a way of differentiating between active and inactive viruses.  Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infects almost all of the human population, but only very few will show any symptoms during their lifetime: HHV-6 is one of the most widespread viruses among the population. Between 95 and 100 percent of healthy adults have antibodies to the virus which means that they have been infected at some point in the past. The virus hides in t...
