Descripción: "An engrossing exposé of scientific practice in America.”—KIRKUS REVIEWSFrom the authors of the New York Times bestselling Plague of Corruption comes the prescription on how to end the plague infecting our medical community.Ending Plague continues the New York Times bestselling team of Dr. Judy A. Mikovits and Kent Heckenlively with legendary scientist, Dr. Francis W. Ruscetti joining the conversation. Dr. Ruscetti is credited as one of the founding fathers of human retrovirology. In 1980, Dr. Ruscetti’s team isolated the first pathogenic human retrovirus, HTLV-1. Ruscetti would eventually go on to work for thirty-eight years at the National Cancer Institute.Dr. Ruscetti was deeply involved in performing some of the most critical HIV-AIDS research in the 1980s, pioneered discoveries in understanding the workings of the human immune system in the 1990s, isolating a new family of mouse leukemia viruses linked to chronic diseases in 2009, and offers his insights into the recent COVID-19 pandemic. In 1991, Ruscetti received the Distinguished Service Award from the National Institutes of Health.Dr. Ruscetti offers a true insider’s portrait of nearly four decades at the center of public health. His insights into the successes and failures of government science will be eye-opening to the general public. You will read never-before-revealed information about the personalities and arguments which have been kept from view behind the iron curtain of public health. Can we say our scientists are protecting us, or is another agenda at work? For most of his decades at the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Ruscetti has been in almost daily contact with his long-time collaborator, Dr. Mikovits, and their rich intellectual discussions will greatly add to our national discussion. Science involves a rigorous search for truth, and you will come to understand how science scholars are relentless in their quest for answers.Review“A science book discusses the deplorable state of the field in the United States, the result of bias, greed, and governmental dysfunction. Ruscetti was skeptical of authority in all its forms from an early age and turned to a career in science, hoping that intellectual irreverence would find a home there. But he encountered a professional world dominated by naked careerism, blind dogma, propaganda, and bottomless vindictiveness. The author enjoyed a brilliantly accomplished career as a virologist, working for decades at the National Cancer Institute, and was part of the team that identified the first pathogenic human retrovirus, HTLV-1. While studying AIDS in the 1980s, he worked closely with Anthony Fauci—Ruscetti found him to be as mendacious as he was ambitious. The author claims that Fauci’s neglect and even repression of important research likely slowed down the fight against the deadly disease. Ruscetti convincingly blames governmental malfeasance for establishing a system that permits bureaucrats like Fauci and Robert Gallo—one of the author’s supervisors—to prosper: ‘People like Gallo and Fauci thrive because of a system put in place by President Richard Nixon, in which a few leading government scientists were given unprecedented control over funding decisions, while at the same time creating a subservient class of researchers who must vie for their approval.’ Mikovits tells a similar story, if more personally harrowing—she claims that she was persecuted for her work demonstrating the contamination of blood and vaccine supplies . . . Mikovits’ remembrance is a powerful one and confirms Ruscetti’s account of the scientific community as one plagued by incompetence and venality. Especially during a time in which the authority of that community is a matter of dispute, the two scientists’ book—written with Heckenlively—is an important contribution to a gathering debate.
