Yet another reward for 'HIV'

MISSING VIRUS!£ 1000 Reward
Blind romantics still believe HIV causes AIDS.
But if 'HIV' has never been isolated, what is AIDS?Never isolated? You bet! A cash prize of £ 1000 is offered to the first person finding one scientific paper establishing actual isolation of HIV.
If you or a friendly 'AIDS expert' can prove isolation, £ 1000 is yours. In cash. In public.
Interested? Pledge the money to your favourite AIDS charity, why not?
We bet you'll be surprised to discover the truth.
They offer a methodology of proof:
Culture of putatively (supposedly) infected tissue
Purification of specimens by density gradient ultracentrifugation.
Electron micrographs of particles exhibiting the morphological characteristics and dimensions (100-120 nm) of retroviral particles at the sucrose (or percoll) density of 1.16 gm/ml and containing nothing else, not even particles of other morphologies or dimensions.
Proof that the particles contain reverse transcriptase
Analysis of the particles' proteins and RNA and proof that these are unique
Proof that 1-5 are a property only of putatively infected tissues and can not be induced in control cultures. These are identical cultures, that is, tissues obtained from matched, unhealthy subjects and cultured under identical conditions differing only in that they are not putatively infected with a retrovirus
Proof that the particles are infectious, that is when PURE particles are introduced into an uninfected culture or animal, the identical particle is obtained as shown by repeating steps 1-5.
Peter Duesberg claimed the reward in 1996. The Perth Group wrote a long reply and summary. The debate continued into 1997 and beyond. You can follow the exchanges back and forth as documented here http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/award.htm
To my knowledge no one has yet successfully isolated and purified a virus and shown it to be pathogenic.
Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos describes what we are looking for in this lengthy article quite simply:
The object of interest is not a protein, nor a fragment of RNA (DNA) but a unique exogenous retrovirus, HIV. Nothing more and nothing less.
What we continually are offered by virologists is a cell culture which they have termed an isolation. They then assemble fragments using software into a whole and call it a virus.
This is not acceptable as science, particularly when public policy is based upon it. If people don’t want to question this and choose to quackcinate themselves and/or their children, they are welcome to it, but don’t force your belief onto those of us who require the science to be beyond such debate as is evident with quackcines and the viruses they are supposed to prevent doing harm.
