“Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits are the new dynamic duo fighting corruption in science.” —Ben Garrison, America’s #1 political satirist

Dr. Judy Mikovits is a modern-day Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant researcher shaking up the old boys’ club of science with her groundbreaking discoveries. And like many women who have trespassed into the world of men, she uncovered decades-old secrets that many would prefer to stay buried.

From her doctoral thesis, which changed the treatment of HIV-AIDS, saving the lives of millions, including basketball great Magic Johnson, to her spectacular discovery of a new family of human retroviruses, and her latest research which points to a new golden age of health, Dr. Mikovits has always been on the leading edge of science.

With the brilliant wit one might expect if Erin Brockovich had a doctorate in molecular biology, Dr. Mikovits has seen the best and worst of science. When she was part of the research community that turned HIV-AIDS from a fatal disease into a manageable one, she saw science at its best. But when her investigations questioned whether the use of animal tissue in medical research were unleashing devastating plagues of chronic diseases, such as autism and chronic fatigue syndrome, she saw science at its worst. If her suspicions are correct, we are looking at a complete realignment of scientific practices, including how we study and treat human disease.

Recounting her nearly four decades in science, including her collaboration of more than thirty-five years with Dr. Frank Ruscetti, one of the founders of the field of human retrovirology, this is a behind the scenes look at the issues and egos which will determine the future health of humanity.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"One of the main problems of our time is the public loss of confidence in the scientific community because of a too often corrupt coalition of  governmental and corporate entities. Judy Mikovits's and Kent Heckenlively's book delves into the midst of this rampant corruption, which hides  from the public scientific truths which might go against these corporate economic interests."
—Dr. Luc Montagnier, 2008 Nobel Laureate for the isolation of the HIV retrovirus

“Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits are the new dynamic duo fighting corruption in science.”   
— 
Ben Garrison, America's #1 political satirist 
 
“What this book teaches you more than anything else is that science is a dangerous game. The notion that science is precise and unambiguous is wrong. When there is doubt, there is the potential for powerful interested parties to make life miserable for a scientist with integrity. Throughout the book, intrigue is seamlessly intertwined with fascinating revelations about the still poorly understood science behind the potential role of retroviruses in mysterious debilitating diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and autism.”
Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Senior Research Scientist, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory 
 
“The breathtaking story of an extraordinary scientist who discovered the most likely cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, only to witness a cover-up and character assassination emanating from the highest levels of the scientific community. An incisive critique of what's wrong with science today, and yet a hopeful portrait of how science still has the means to find the truth. It leaves you overwhelmed by the insidious methods and players corrupting science, but hopeful for truth-seekers in the scientific community like Dr. Mikovits who are persevering against all odds.” 
— 
J.B. Handley, co-founder of Generation Rescue and author of How to End the Autism Epidemic 
 
“This book is a jaw-dropping excursion through the lies of Big Money, Big Government and Big Pharma. God bless Dr. Mikovits for her courage in sharing this story!”
— 
Max Swafford, author and educator

"Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and Big Pharma don't want you to read this book. Get
PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION now and learn the truth about public health industrial complex's decades of research fraud and vaccine cover-ups."
— 
Michelle Malkin, New York Times bestselling author and political commentator

PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION is a once-in-a-generation eye-opener that is likely to have a profound impact on how Americans view their country's public health and scientific establishment.
Preston Flemming, author of Maid of Baikal and Forty Days at Kamas

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When I was fourteen years old I submitted my first story to ANALOG magazine, devoted to short science fiction stories. My story did not get accepted, but I did get a gentle rejection letter which told me to keep writing. In college I wrote my first novel, spent many years writing screenplays, and eventually ran across a story I thought I could turn into a non-fiction story. That was PLAGUE, co-authored with Dr. Judy Mikovits.

In between writing, I worked a summer for a United States Senator, spent two summers chasing bad guys at the United States Attorney's Office, and spent six weeks in a virus lab where I worked with Ebola.

In college I was a double major in English and Political Science, served as Head of our Model United Nations team, and was our school's Rhodes Scholar Candidate. In law school I was a writer and editor for law review, and also won top honors in our Mock Trial class.

I worked as a lawyer with my dad for several years, then found myself drawn to my original love of science and became a science teacher. Now I get to teach science during the day and write about it at night.

Dynamic Duo
The dynamic duo of Mikovits and Heckenlively put out another truth-teller book. An excellent book full of truth that you will stick with you for a lifetime. The book is easily readable for the layperson. I do not have to understand the science to recognize common sense, reason and truth.This book lays out the evil of money and power in research, medicine, government, and pharmaceutical which will never serve the public well. When we return to a natural life full of wisdom, faith, peace and nurture we will stop sacrificing our health to pharmaceutical / government / medical gods.The vast amount of corruption laid out in this book over decades brings understanding to how ill health has become the normal. Cradle to grave illness makes financial sense to greedy soulless corporations.If you have not read Kent and Judy's first book Plague: One Scientist's Intrepid Search for the Truth about Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases you should get it also. You will not be disappointed in the details about Judy's journey to 5 days in jail with no charges.Judy is an American hero, god bless her.

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020
I have read Kent Heckenlively's previous book "Inoculated", as well as his book "Plague" which was cowritten with Dr Judy Mikovits. I was eagerly awaiting this new book "Plague of Corruption". It is incredibly important work that you cannot get anywhere else. The internet is wiped of material that is contrary to the status quo of government and industry. Censored. Industry seeded trolls are everywhere. You have to seek this information out in books to get the full picture and understand how we got exposed to retroviruses. How it happened. And what does it mean for us? Dr Judy Mikovits is in the unique position of having worked within the [corrupt] world of academic research - she discovered something potentially dangerous and embarrassing to the government/pharma - and had her personal life disrupted and her professional life destroyed.

We have a very ill population. Autoimmune diseases and cancer, heart disease and diabetes - and everyone pretends not to know what is causing this. And yet, we INTENTIONALLY perturb the immune system of every man, woman, and child in this country from cradle to grave. Over and over again. We inject material that is toxic. Knowingly toxic ingredients. And then when we connect those dots we are met with extreme denial. Denial without any evidence provided. It is hard to believe we have allowed it this long. Sure, we know mercury and aluminum are heavy metals that are not healthy for the body - but our scientists assure us that they are not dangerous. But more important than even the heavy metals are the contaminants that got in there from growing viruses in animals and picking up other things not intended and not purified out. How can you purify something you don't even know is there? This is how we got SV40 - a monkey kidney viruses that causes cancer and went out in the polio vaccine. This is how we got XMRV - a retrovirus implicated in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that came from passing virus through mouse brains and contaminated cell cultures. What else is hiding in those lab created cell cultures intended for injection into humans?

We are all suffering now from the mistakes made from our "scientists" in the past who rushed into production on pharmaceuticals for public consumption without the proper safety measures. They fail to present us with sufficient evidence that these materials are fully safe and effective. They demonize anyone who inquires about it, and bury the evidence of harm that they do find. This is the definition of corruption.

This book gives you a glimpse into the world of the institutions and characters who have been involved in making public policy. How financial and political interests are more important that the truth about what scientists like Dr Mikovits are finding. I am not as hopeful as Kent & Judy that the "faith in science" can be restored. Because the perpetrators will never come forward and admit what they did. They hold entrenched positions in government agencies and would rather burn the evidence than admit that they poisoned the human population and withheld from us out of hubris, corruption, and greed.

I am so grateful to Robert F Kennedy Jr for taking up the topic, writing the Forward, and not being intimidated by the opposition. And to Kent and Judy for their collaboration that makes this difficult topic so easy to understand. There is a lot of scientific language but the writing makes it very accessible to the reader. Science is just a matter of terms and processes that anyone can learn. Never let someone tell you that the "science" is too complex for the average person. We get it.

This book is very timely! As it is released we are fighting the first "pandemic" of our modern age. And we watch another retrovirus enter the human population to cause who knows what kind of havoc. We are watching how those very same characters and institutions who habitually hide information from us try to come across as believable and trustworthy. We desperately need the knowledge and insight of Dr Judy Mikovits to understand and go forward. I hope she is invited to be part of the Presidents's advisors. I can think of no better person to help us through this confusing and dangerous times. Get the book. Read it. Become part of the red pilled force that is growing every day.

This book is easier to follow and more engaging than Plague, the first book co-authored by Dr. Mikovits's and Kent Heckenlively. It flows better. At times it feels almost like a personal advendure story, or maybe a thriller. There's less scientific detail, which gives it more punch.

And punch it has. The story this book tells is shocking, infuriating, appalling. As someone who has lost 25 years to the chronic illness ME/CFS, it has been incredibly painful to read about how research that could have put me on the road to recovery a decade ago, that could have given me my life back, was deliberately and ruthlessly suppressed.

This book explains how and why this happened. It details many of the forces and people who implemented this suppression, a massive fraud which has left thousands, if not millions, dead, and ruined the lives of countless more innocent victims. Including me, including several of my friends and loved ones.

When I first got sick, I went to doctor after doctor, was subjected to test after test. I had been a staunch believer in the American medical system. I thought doctors were like gods: you get sick, you go to the doctor, you get well.

They taught me how wrong I was. Those doctors, who I believed in and trusted, put me through hell on earth. Eventually I gave up and turned to alternative medicine, which hasn't cured me but at least slowed the progress of my illness and made life - at times - tolerable. But I never fully understood what had made me ill in the first place.

Now, thanks to Dr. Mikovits and Mr. Heckenlively, do understand. It is clear how and why I got sick. I don't know if I've learned enough to allow me to recover, but I'm going to follow Dr. Mikovits's suggestions to the best of my ability.

And I'm going to hope that I live to see the day that the perpetrators of the crimes of deception, fraud, cover-ups, and character assassination detailed in this book are exposed and brought to justice - and the science that could have helped people like me so many years ago finally is put to use.

Thank you again, Dr. Mikovits and Mr. Lively, for your skill, commitment, and bravery in telling this story. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life.

This is the first e-book I've purchased and the first time I've ever reviewed a book, but after listening to Dr. Mikovits on the radio I felt compelled to get her book, and now I know why. Judy Mikovits is one of the most intelligent, courageous, honest, and God-fearing people on the planet today. As a scientist she worked on the development of immunizations until she became troubled by some of the methods that were being used and covered from the public, and because she wouldn't agree to disclaim her findings, she was fired. Although some of the scientific terminology is beyond what most of us understand, the stories are alarming and the message is clear ... nearly all immunizations are responsible for the poor health of today's population, and there are evil people out there who want to keep it that way. You can learn a lot just from reading the forward and the introduction on this site. Those who are attempting to keep control of "everything" in the world are going to fight hard against this book. Don't let them. It may be a bit more pricey than others, but it's worth every penny!

Judy Mikovits reveals the corruption that sometimes takes place from hiding unfavorable results from scientific research and the retribution that is doled out to truth tellers who threaten big pharma's bottom line by telling the truth. Her career was permanently damaged from her discovery of a previously unknown virus that became incorporated into some vaccines. That virus harmed some recipients of the vaccine. Revealing that information in the publication of her finding in a scientific journal led to a forced retraction which was scientifically unwarranted. It didn't stop there, which makes the book worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrific persecution of Dr. Judy Mikovits! Excellent tome on the corrupt vaccine industry.
Reviewed in Canada on April 2, 2024
Dr. Judy writes in some detail about her arrest and confiscation of her medical data and her jail time (was never charged). Some lawyers don't want to get involved with the government "mafia". Really stunning chapter on "Dead Doctors" who were suicided. These people play for keeps as massive amounts of money is involved and they often do things (you wouldn't believe) to keep their monopolistic gravy train going. Again some technical medical terms, but a very engaging book much like a spy thriller. Very much shakes your faith in governments doing the ethical thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT anti-vac but shows the unlisted impacts of vaccines
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2021
I can only say that this is an excellent publication. It provides an insight as to how pharmaceutical companies and governments resist owning up to the impact of the vaccines that have been mandated and given to populations over the past years.
I was one of those unfortunates who served in the 1st Gulf War where we were subjected to numerous vaccines (14 different injections in two days) and other components which were supposed to protect soldiers. We were the guinea pigs and the resulting un Remember that the MoD (the government) has never officially recognised the condition. This is so they have avoided litigation claims being made.
Those of you who will be having your Covid-19 vaccination just remember this; the pharmaceutical companies have been provided with indemnity against claims (why if it is safe?) and the government will undoubtedly deny any relationship between any future problems which could manifest in the future. This is not saying that it will impact everyone but there will be those who will have reactions and what this will do to future generations is unknown territory. Read this book to understand what can happen to scientists who have spoken the truth about vaccines.
