Plague

One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autism, and Other Diseases

By: Kent Heckenlively, Judy Mikovits PhD

Narrated by: Eric Jason Martin

On July 22, 2009, a special meeting was held with 24 leading scientists at the National Institutes of Health to discuss early findings that a newly discovered retrovirus was linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), prostate cancer, lymphoma, and eventually neurodevelopmental disorders in children. When Dr. Judy Mikovits finished her presentation the room was silent for a moment, then one of the scientists said, "Oh my God!" The resulting investigation would be like no other in science. For Dr. Mikovits, a 20-year veteran of the National Cancer Institute, this was the midpoint of a five-year journey that would start with the founding of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease at the University of Nevada, Reno, and end with her as a witness for the federal government against her former employer, Harvey Whittemore, for illegal campaign contributions to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. On this journey, Dr. Mikovits would face the scientific prejudices against CFS, wander into the minefield that is autism, and through it all struggle to maintain her faith in God and the profession to which she had dedicated her life. This is a story for anybody interested in the peril and promise of science at the very highest levels in our country.

Extraordinary and harrowing sojourn of a dedicated scientist undermined by a corrupted system.

“Plague” chronicles the shocking discovery of a third retrovirus discovered by Dr. Mikovits. A steadfast and rigorous cancer and AIDS researcher who realizes how and why a third retrovirus was generated in a laboratory setting and spread through the air to millions of people. More importantly, her dramatic struggle reveals that the swift development of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, autism, and cancer may have been immune stimulated diseases by vaccines carrying similar virus sequences. Falsely imprisoned without a warrant, her research confiscated, and her reputation stained, Mikovits survives the ordeal but we in the body politic lost years of her honorable research and all are no closer to being protected from thus reckless man-made catastrophe.

A sobering tale of medical heroism undermined by arrogant and cowardly individuals with great wealth and power facilitated by a corrupt judicial system. A must read for anyone suffering from cancer, autoimmune disorders and / or or parents with vaccine injured children.

Addressing the difficulties in political corruption of science

This is a great book for those seeking the truth about disease. It is reassuring to see there are scientists and doctors in this world, who still value ethics, morals and healing people over money, power and fame. Even without a science background, I found this book well written and easy to understand. I understood enough to see the blatant corruption that has turned science into a political circus.

Awesome but not for narration

this book is chalked full of extremely useful and good information. with that being said it really isn't a good format for an audio book. the narrator did a good job considering the subject matter and highly technical jargon

How our government and big pharma surpress the truth

I love Judy's honesty and willingness to get the truth out. God bless you Judy

Loved it

Strongly recommend this book. Sad to hear our corrupt medical and scientific community won’t address this sickness.
