USA Today best seller. The incredible true story of the most banned documentary in history. Researching the controversy arising after the release of the viral phenomenon known as Plandemic, the most seen and censored documentary in history, an investigative journalist sets out to disprove and debunk claims made throughout the film. Instead, the journalist opens a Pandora’s box to witness firsthand an underworld of corruption, lies, and the darkest of unsolved mysteries.

The purpose of Ending Plague is twofold. While much ground has already been examined in the preceding book, Mikovits has seized the opportunity to look at how the last year has unfolded for her and for her colleagues. She has had a very eventful year since the publication of the last title, which has been filled both with challenges and new acquaintances and messages of support. The book’s second purpose is to give Ruscetti the chance to share his own view and benefit from his long career.

The bumper-sticker directive to ‘follow the science’ was actually an evasion of responsibility. It let people off the hook for their bad decisions in a crisis. Was New York Governor Cuomo’s executive order sending COVID-hospitalized patients back to nursing homes to infect other vulnerable nursing home patients ‘following the science’? Relative to the total nursing home population, Governor Cuomo contributed to a larger percentage of nursing-home deaths - especially when compared to the states without such a policy.

Losing your memory? Can't focus or concentrate? Do you have brain fog or tire easily? Have you lost your zest for life or motivation? Do people tell you this is all a normal part of aging? If so, your brain may be growing old too fast, or degenerating. Modern diets, a stressful lifestyle, and environmental toxins all take their toll on the brain. This doesn't just happen to seniors - brain disorders and degeneration are on the rise for young and old alike. The good news is the brain is extremely adaptable and wants to get well.

Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true? Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering information, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases.

In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Naomi Wolf shows how these forces—from Big Tech and Big Pharma to the CCP and our oligarchical elites—seized upon two years of COVID-19 panic in sinister new ways, to not only undermine our republic but to fundamentally reorient human relations.

However, the authors of "Virus Mania", investigative journalist Torsten Engelbrecht, Dr. Claus Köhnlein, MD, Dr. Samantha Bailey, MD, and Dr. Stefano Scoglio, BSc PhD, show that this fearmongering is unfounded and that virus mayhem ignores basic scientific facts: The existence, the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven.

A courageous risk for seeking and exposing truth
- By T. Merrick Morgan on 05-30-21
By: Torsten Engelbrecht, and others
Publisher's Summary
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.

Far Beyond Compelling
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Only if they though they could handle it. If they don't mind having their faith shaken or if they are a true medical cynic (like myself).
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
I have never had a book of any kind make me as angry from beginning to end as this book did. It is an indictment of our criminal justice system, our governmental medical bureaucracy, the scientific laboratory and clinical research community and indeed our medical belief system.
What three words best describe Eric Martin’s voice?
Articulate, authoritative, emotive
but this was frequently destroyed for me by the gross mispronunciation of many medical and scientific terms. A scientific adviser is a must
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It IS what you don't know that can hurt you

Scary Truth: We Are Not Safe
Judi Mikovits PhD is an honest scientist in a corrupt world. If a movie was made of this, no one would believe it. Truth truly is stranger, and scarier, than fiction. In fact, the truth is so scary, the cover-up so profound, it is hard to wrap your head around. At the same time, it explains a lot to patients who are wondering where the devil these symptoms came from? I started this book about the same time I got the hep B vaccine. Soon I began having serious gut issues...like WW lll was going off in my stomach... and spinal issues...moving stiffness that no anti inflammatory, chiropractic adjustment or massage could fix. In addition, I soon went from CHF under complete control, to stage 3. It was scary. I was so grateful I had listened to this book and made the connection "OMG it's retroviruses!" And I could not have done that without Judi Mikovits and Kent Heckenlively's dedication to Plague.. I am beyond grateful. I began treating my symptoms as what they were, an aggressive virus, and got better.
But whether sick or not, and I hope you are not, Plague is for everyone. We all deserve the truth.

Exposing the man behind the curtain
This book talks about something many of us in the clinical community know to be true. That 'medicine' (research, pharma, etc) as we know it in this country is not for the greater good. That those who go against the grain to expose the 'bad' ...get punished and often destroyed.

Sad
I have learned that Judy's problem is not restricted to medicine alone. Mindsets and egos have destroyed so much. What she has experienced has been replicated in many other disciplines. I have suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for years but I have been lucky and I have overcome it with full recovery I feel for those who are still suffering from it and I hope there are other Judy's out there and will continue the fight.

So Dry, it crackles! But vitally important.
The story is almost unbelievable in its unfairness. But it points up the cronyism amount the scientific community and their donors as well as Big Pharma.
If only this book could describe the riveting story without repeating over and over again, the technical terms, the confusing names of viruses,drugs, cells and macrophages!
Everyone should hear this story, however the details should be an addendum at the end of the book.

Eye opening. The story amazed me
This book is an eye opening account that introduced a lot of new information interwoven with the story. I enjoyed listening to the audio version, which is very well performed in confidential style that is appealing. I could also easily repeat a particularly educational and interesting segment. Take the chance and read it, it triggers a lot of questions on health and viruses, vaccines and illness.... What to speak of the shocking political and legal infractions. I find the book and its authors courageous and an introduction to the important awakening to an awareness of some of what is really going on in the shocking world of research and vaccines etc. Hopefully this will trigger saving lives of children and adults...

This book should alarm anyone who has their trust in the supposed objectivity of scientific bodies. It is a shock to see how personalities have interpreted research according to presuppositions. It is also an eye opener to see the connection between private corporations and research labs.

Proof is here folks it's time for action to help those whose lives have been snatched away including children. Tick tock....who will get ill next?....pray it's not you!!!

From a CFS victim
I have thoroughly enjoyed being enlightened to the truth of the cause of many of todays chronic illnesses. Thank you so much to the authors for writing this book.
There is a heroine & villains but this is no fairy tale.
Brain fog made it difficult for me to read and so I took advantage of the audible edition too.
It is important for suffers as well as friends & family members, to know & understand the devastation of CFS.
JUDY MIKOVITS is right there is a God & there will be justice.
The world needs to know!

Ignore the negative reviews if you are ill you nee
I looked at this book a few years ago but was mislead by what I now suspect were false reviews to help discredit the author,read the book and you'll know why,those of us that are ill live in a parallel universe every day and any hope of treatment is carefully brushed under the carpet by "science",thats why this book is so important ,instruct your lawyer to read it if you have not been devastated economically by ME.We need to take action and in light of what is currently happening around the world today even more so and investigate possible vaccine contamination before the new coronavirus potentially sends many more people to a life of hell through "mysterious" illnesses!

A story everyone should, unfortunate flat delivery
The narrator sounds very metallic and disinterested, like a monotonous robot, more akin to a good text-to-speech engine where the pronunciation has been mastered than an engaged human being. This is most unfortunate because the story is quite intense to follow and would have been transformed by a reader who sounded like they were actually alive. After listening to some fantastic audiobook narration, this was a disappointment; doubly so because the story is of some importance and the reader should be encouraged to work through it.
There is quite a bit of the story to pay attention to including the back-story, the science, the dynamic between all the different actors, and the linear explanation of events. Therefore, it may necessitate putting up with the voice. Nevertheless, the benefit of sticking with it is worth it simply for what you will learn.

Well Read But Deceptive
From the title and summary of this book, I fully expected some actual science, so you can imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the co-authors seem to specialise in anti-vaccine pseudoscience. A shame, I'd been hoping for some interesting information about a condition I actually struggle with.

I can’t believe this is non-fiction book, it’s a real drama.
Plague is as much about a plague of socio-economic injustice as it is about a retro-virus plague.
It helped to shatter some of my illusions/conditioning I have that; based on this book Plague: it took two weeks to put this innocent scientist directly in prison without a court-hearing, and two years for her to make it so that integrity, truth and reality saw the light of day as she competed against the behind-the-scenes socio-economic interpersonal power pressuring a judge to put her in prison.
Thank goodness I haven’t had to go through all that myself.
It all seems to come down to what socio-economically powerful people can say, make happen, and can cover up with a money-corrupted legal system.
Instead of integrity telling people’s life-story it’s socio-economic power telling people’s life-story. Sad but true.
I found it more about the inter-personal tensions and dramas than about the XMRV plague which I was more interested in for health reasons.
The narrator’s voice sounded a bit silly-movie-voice to me.

There’s a reason this is free - it’s garbage
I managed two chapters of this nonsense-peddling garbage. I have personal connections to and significant interest in the research science community and am also autistic. First and foremost, referring to autism as a ‘disease’ is not only wrong but is offensive, as is perpetuating the idea that neurodivergence could be caused by vaccines or a viral infection.
This book repeatedly scaremongers against vaccines and puts forward vague science.
Do not waste your time.

Good mix of scientific analysis and intriguing story
Really enjoyed this book as it had a great deal of solid scientific research and gave an interesting insight into the workings of the scientific community as well as outlining the incredible injustice towards Judy and her research team.
I found it difficult to follow in some parts as the writer jumped back and forward in time to outline different aspects of the whole picture but overall I believe the important details were pronounced.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in potential causes of chronic fatigue

A dedicated researcher’s journey in a corrupted research environment
A riveting and eye-opening story of the personal and professional highs and lows of a dedicated researcher driven by the desire to relieve the suffering of those injured, and largely forgotten by other researchers and institutions more interested in building and protecting their own reputations and funding than pursuing truth. Judy Mikovits lost everything to this corrupt system, except her marriage and her love, faith and trust in God.

Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using tissue extracted from an aborted fetus from Sweden, produced safe, clean cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases.

American taxpayers spend $30 billion annually funding biomedical research, but over half of these studies can't be replicated due to poor experimental design, improper methods, and sloppy statistics. Bad science doesn't just hold back medical progress, it can sign the equivalent of a death sentence for terminal patients. In Rigor Mortis, Richard Harris explores these urgent issues with vivid anecdotes, personal stories, and interviews with the top biomedical researchers. We need to fix our dysfunctional biomedical system - before it's too late.
