The HIV mountaneer has passed
Luc Montagnier (08/18/32-02/09/22)
Luc Montagnier was (it is very strange for me that I am writing the verb in the past tense) a prolific French virologist and, in fact, a joint recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
I met Luc Montagnier at a water conference in Bulgaria many years ago, although I am sure that he wouldn’t have remembered me if we had met again in current times. There were a lot of people at the conference and I was merely an observer and listener and not a participant.
Luc struck me as a dear and humble man - not power hungry. Not money-crazed. Just a scientist in a world of his own. He seemed able to carve out his own path in his career - despite the resistance of the ‘right version’ of science and its ‘definitions’.
He was shorter than I had imagined and always smiling. He has an expression that made you wonder what he was thinking and that he certainly knew something that you didn’t. Kind of like a wry, but benevolent eye-smile. At least, that was my impression of him. I liked him and I also remembered his ability to make me challenge my own definitions. He’s actually still someone who continues to challenge me. He has never been shy about his claims.
Dr. Montagnier was the one who apprised me (and the world) of the 5 cases of prion disease associated with the COVID-19 injections back in November 2020. He was also not shy about the fact that SARS-CoV-2 was made in a laboratory. What might have certainly ruffled some feathers for some creating and propagating the COVID-19 narrative, was the connection that he made between HIV and the COVID-19 injections. Now I am still unsure on the potential direct connection between these two viruses but he believed that the end game in all of this was the production of a ‘vaccine’ against HIV. I will return to my thoughts on this.
For those of us in this game for the past 30 years, it is well known that the attempt to create a successful vaccine against HIV has been a colossal failure1 2 3 4. Despite many attempts, millions and millions of dollars and man hours, there have been zero successes. I am not saying they need to stop trying, but I would suggest ‘a re-allocation of the resources’. Ahem. Read the book ‘The River’ whenever you can. It’s really good. I am unsure what their end-game is but I am sure about one thing - if they launch a so-called HIV vaccine using this mRNA tech NO ONE SHOULD VOLUNTEER WITHOUT FULL LIABILITY ON THE MANUFACTURER FOR DAMAGES.
By the way, they already started. Phase I engaged. Funded by none other than bill gates. Next recruiting phase (ongoing) targets African people (NCT05168813).
"We are tremendously excited to be advancing this new direction in HIV vaccine design with Moderna's mRNA platform. The search for an HIV vaccine has been long and challenging, and having new tools in terms of immunogens and platforms could be the key to making rapid progress toward an urgently needed, effective HIV vaccine," Mark Feinberg, IAVI's president and CEO, said in a news release from Moderna.5
It’s amazing to me that a few years ago I may have been very excited about this. But I certainly am not at present, in the current milieu. I know that this attempt to neutralize HIV will fail because, it always has. And there are specific reasons for this. 13 healthy people in their Phase I trial as part of their program: they are testing this on non-HIV-infected people for ‘prevention’. Oh yeah, and Feinberg throws in the word ‘cure’. Really Feinberg?
The HIV deal is typically this: HIV+ diagnosis = antiretroviral treatment regimen (higly toxic) = elongation of chronic phase with buy-off of (basically) normal life span on daily drug administration. Expensive and toxic. This was actually why I did what I did in my Master’s degree program (to show that people could go off their meds for weeks at a time without detriment). I am pretty sure at this point that this is another profit ploy. No one has any idea how crazy it is that I, of all people, have suggested this now. There are subsets of people referred to as long-term non-progressors in the Poz community and these people never succumb to the ails of HIV. We don’t know why. But I am certain that it could become the norm, but, only if research is aimed in that direction. The problem is that this direction would probably come at the expense of ‘drug development’. I personally believe, and always have, that there are ways to live with this virus and not succumb to its ill-effects. I just don’t know how precisely. Yet.
On Luc’s thoughts of the connection between SARS and HIV. The platform for the COVID-19 injections produced by Pfizer and Moderna are gene-based - designed as Lipid Nano Particle encapsulating-mRNA delivery systems. A current ‘observational’ trial set to end in July 20, 2023 (NCT04848584) is intended to teach the manufacturers what the efficacy is. No mention of safety. See my latest comments on Moderna’s latest ‘efficacy’ data. The global injection roll-out is for all intents and purposes an experiment since we are, in effect, using experimental products that have never before been administered to humans in this context or on this scale. There is NO LONG-TERM SAFETY data and the short-term data is frightening. If they pass through this part of what might be a 2-part end-game to simply change the payload from spike mRNA to (HIV)-mRNA (I need to look into this - I don’t know yet), then this will inevitably lead to an open-door policy for part II - mass injection of an experimental HIV-mRNA-based gene therapy.
Even with the enormous push-back from dedicated scientists and doctors worldwide; even with adverse event data collection systems waving massive red flags; even with good people standing their solid ground to protect basic human rights; most people have no idea that there is a serious problem with these products - from beginning to end. We need more time to explore this tech. My fear is that when they jump over the safety hoops with these HIV-mRNA-based products, and start to inject people on larger and larger scales (after not disclosing the safety data as before), then the game will be over. I don’t mean to sound like a doomsayer but, I cannot foresee a good outcome with these HIV mRNA-based injections. I cannot.
This is what my brain is saying to me:
COVID-19 mRNA-based LNP injections make people more likely to get COVID6 (this is apparent now from data worldwide (UKHSA data and a Norwegian study in Eurosurveillance7)), and the injections have been associated with strange gene profiles in essential immune mediators (CD8+ T cells)8 and double-stranded DNA-repair dysfunction9.
By analogy:
HIV mRNA-based LNP injections make people more likely to get HIV, and the injections will be associated with strange gene profiles in essential immune mediators (CD4+ T cells) and double-stranded DNA-repair dysfunction.
I fear this will not end well. I am simply writing down my thoughts here for now. I like to document where my mind is during these times as a type of morbid diary. Thank you for reading.
With these thoughts and words inspired by a legendary man, I bid you adieu Luc Montagnier. I am sure that you won’t mind a single bit that my tribute to you got science-y.
May you be in a place that always makes you smile.

At this moment, the media is damning him with faint acknolwedgement.
We live in disgusting times.
This is a nice tribute to Montagnier. I first became aware of him in 2020 when he appeared on French media to opine on the likely lab origins of Covid. He was quickly ostracized by polite society and characterized as a bit of a quack, his Nobel notwithstanding. Along with Raoult, Perrone and only a few others he was one of the few medical figures in France who behaved with integrity.
I am still in the process of reading "The Real Anthony Fauci" (currently chapter 9) and Kennedy does a great job of describing the HIV saga and Montagnier's role in it. Specifically he acknowledges that Montagnier was one of the few scientists who acted with honesty and humility over the last forty years that we have been living with this disease.
For those that have not read TRAF yet, I suggest that you do so at your earliest convenience. You may think you know how the Western health care system works but - trust me - you don't.
