To marry Mitcovit to RFK Jr. First bit posted here .. Yep. She has quite a history. Surprise too, lol, there was money involved. Just as with the Frontline Doctors [...] [repeat tiny bit] Below I will revisit this Act III, for it is punctuated by a great deal more drama, and in the right hands it can be drawn out to novel-length in itself. Any amount of further detail can be found on the sites I listed at the beginning. Some other sources: Much more - https://forbetterscience.com/2020/06/24/judy-mikovits-plandemic-covid-portunism/ https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=170555471

Act V: The Gates-Fauci COVID-19 conspiracy
In Act V of the saga, the opportunities of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that a conspiracy to conceal vaccine-borne disease was no longer enough. In the Plandemic re-imagining of reality, the conspiracy became vastly greater in scale, including but not limited to the engineering of a new virus and the exaggeration of its virulence (bribing hospitals to record any deaths as ‘COVID-19’ whatever their actual causes), to foster public enthusiasm for vaccination.
In this way, l’Affaire Mikovits became an illustrative microcosm of a larger phenomenon: the intersectionality of Conspiracy Culture. Crank Magnetism is a powerful force… to put it another way, the Paranoid Style .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paranoid_Style_in_American_Politics .. is self-radicalising. A single conspiracy theory is seldom enough, and if one is lodged in your head it invites in more for company, until your cranium is swarming with mutually-incompatible conspiracies… Bill Gates and 5G cellphones and RFID chips and WHO and the Depopulation Agenda, and all the other ignes fatui emerging like malarial vapours from the right-wing fever swamp, and the Reverse Vampires, an intermeshed tangle of conspiratorial Ptolemaic epicycles.
So here is Mikovits, testifying to the International Tribunal of Natural Justice about the weaponised laboratory origins of COVID-19.
[Insert: Simon Jean Paul Sasha Adams (born 1966), known as Sacha Stone, is a British New Age influencer and conspiracy theory promoter. He is best known for marketing 5GBioShield, a fraudulent anti-radiation protection device.[1] He is also known for founding The International Tribunal for Natural Justice, The New Earth Project and the New Earth Festival which he hosts at his private resort, Akasha New Earth Haven, in Ubud, Bali.[2] .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacha_Stone ]
The ITNJ is an out-and-out con-job in which a rogues’ gallery of fraudsters and fabulists play jurisprudence dress-up games and pretend to be a recognised, constituted court (needing your donations to continue its work!), unrelieved by any element of “honest delusion” on the part of its participants.
We learn from the Plandemic trailer that face-masks cause disease, activating already-present viruses. Italians receive a special vaccine derived from incubating a virus on dog cells, so a synergistic interaction with dog genes present in COVID-19 is why the COVID fatality rate is so much worse in Italy than in the US (that argument aged well). If the point-by-point ridicule of her claims in earlier links are not enough, here’s another .. https://www.npr.org/2020/05/08/852451652/seen-plandemic-we-take-a-close-look-at-the-viral-conspiracy-video-s-claims .
Many of Mikovits’ enhancements of reality are self-aggrandising. Evidently she was a pioneer in domesticating Ebola to reduce its lethality to humans. The nearest to this in her published CV is her minor assistance to a theory-based conference poster .. https://www.nature.com/articles/ng1199supp_82c.pdf .. on differences between the Ebola-Zaire “species” and Ebola-Reston .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reston_virus , which is only a danger to monkeys. Early in her career, she and Ruscetti were on the brink of beating Montagnier and / or Gallo to the Nobel Prize by discovering HIV as the cause of AIDS, but they were forestalled by the intervention of Anthony Fauci .. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Judy_Mikovits , who blocked their manuscript (and no trace of it remains) to benefit Gallo.
Fauci occupies a central space in her fantasy life: despite the plethora of conspiracies swarming and buzzing in her head, Mikovits still has room there for him to live rent-free. It emerges, for instance, that Fauci had personally threatened her with arrest if she trespassed on Federal property in the course of the Lipkin study. By now you are probably not expecting any paper or electronic trail.
This aversion to Fauci is a new development, and he is only a minor character in Plague, which was written too soon after the events it describes for Mikovits to remember all of them. Contradictions between Plague and the sequel Plague of Corruption are resolved by explaining that Anthony Fauci imposed a gag order on Mikovits back in Act III (because she KNOWS TOO MUCH), forcing the omission of information from the prior book, so buy the new one as well!! Not a GAG order, that would be a retrovirus joke. You might wonder how a decade-long restraint on speech came to be suddenly lifted, but you might also expect some tangible evidence for its existence.
At any rate, Mikovits does not risk losing popularity by accusing Fauci. He is a safe consensus target: the right-wing conspiracist allance of antivaxxers, Covidiots, Qanons, gun-lickers, Twitter bots and Facebook troll-farms (but I repeat myself) had already converged around the view that Fauci should be sacked from any Govt. advisory position, for reasons that are more symbolic than factual… he seems to embody the inconvenient truth of “inconvenience” and “truth”.
There was a time when retreating into a world of fantasy would have been a disadvantage for one’s career. In today’s America it is more of an asset, with role-models right at the top.
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? Fauci, Fauci!
Coda: Lo and behold, virology Alter-natives
Cast your minds back to the beginning o this post, to the apogee of Act III, when Mikovits announced at conferences and in papers that a range of illnesses and conditions were all manifestations of a cryptic, well-camouflaged retrovirus.
FLASHBACK: From earlier post linked up top - Yep. She has quite a history. Surprise too, lol, there was money involved. Just as with the Frontline Doctors Agree. Exposing America’s Frontline Doctors and Their Financial Empire Built on Hydroxychloroquine https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=170161589 [...] Act III: The Whittemore phase Mikovits’ first 15 minutes of fame was a decade ago when she was ushered into prominence by her discovery of a new plague, rivalling the discovery of AIDS: a newly-encountered retrovirus, XMRV, was widespread in the US population, and the likely cause of ME/CFS (also the cause of prostate cancer and autism and doubtless other health concerns). There was a paper in Science to make it official: P - Vincent C. Lombardi, Francis W. Ruscetti, Jaydip Das Gupta, Max A. Pfost, Kathryn S. Hagen, Daniel L. Peterson, Sandra K. Ruscetti, Rachel K. Bagni, Cari Petrow-Sadowski, Bert Gold, Michael Dean, Robert H. Silverman,Judy A. Mikovits Detection of an Infectious Retrovirus, XMRV, in Blood Cells of Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Science (2009) DOI: 10.1126/science.1179052 .. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/326/5952/585.abstract P - The ensuing drama of Lombardi et al 2009 was chronicled by science blogger and retrovirus enthusiast ERV, in a series of hostile and occasionally sweary posts .. https://web.archive.org/web/20180923235109/http://scienceblogs.com/erv/tag/xmrv/ , which some of us followed closely, cheering from the peanut gallery.

This was the virological equivalent of discovering Cold Fusion or Dark Matter. Her peers rushed to stake out their own claims within this new research goldmine (nobody wanted to be last), and as noted already, initial attempts to replicate Lombardi et al (2009) were often successful.
So there is an element of truth to Mikovits’ complaint that she was used as a scapegoat for the failings of science more widely. Other papers from that era of enthusiasm might not stand up to close scrutiny either, and I detect a general sense of relief when Mikovits was linked to an undeniable fake, meaning that all the fault could be pinned on her and everyone else could draw a veil across the whole sad episode and agree never to speak of it again.
First author Lo had prior form. His previous time in the limelight was in the early 1990s when he decided that HIV had been framed as the cause of AIDS when the real culprit .. https://www.jstor.org/stable/4457250 .. was Mycoplasma fermentans incognito, which his PCR tests and only his tests could detect in every patient he checked (mycoplasmas .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma .. are a genus of down-sized parasitical bacteria). Lo went on to find it in ME/CFS, and in Alzheimers, and indeed everywhere else he looked, and he even took out patents .. https://patents.justia.com/inventor/shyh-ching-lo .. staking out his claims for detecting and treating the Protean pathogen:
-- “In addition to AIDS, M. fermentans incognitus has been implicated in a number of other Disease states including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Wegener?s Disease, Sarcoidosis, respiratory distress syndrome, Kikuchi?s disease, autoimmune diseases such as Collagen Vascular Disease and Lupus, and chronic debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer?s Disease. M. fermentans incognitus may be either a causative agent of these diseases or a key co-factor in these diseases” --
”We have an open mind and we are trying to see if we can settle this one way or the other over the next several months,” said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who heads the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. ”If it is an important pathogen, then let’s see what we can do about it. And if not, let’s move on.”
Other researchers played catch-up with a flurry of large-scale (expensive) studies, but (1) they couldn’t see how “Lo’s Mycoplasma” differed from any other M. fermentans, and (2) they couldn’t replicate his observations. In the end they drew a veil across the whole sad episode and agreed never to speak of it again.
Again in 2012, Lo and Alter couldn’t find their retrovirus any more, so they stood by their work but no longer found it reliable. It appears that infectious-disease biology is an area where there aresecond acts, and second opportunities to screw up catastrophically. With Lo the second act finished the same as the first ? with lots of headlines, and lots of time wasted by people trying to replicate his reports.
Lo happened to work at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in the 90s, so when conspiracy theorists stumbled upon the story later they seized upon this CONCLUSIVE PROOF that the US Army bioengineered AIDS and EVEN PATENTED IT. Thus M. fermentans incognitus lingers on with a spectral half-life in biowarfare conspiracy blogs. A role-model for XMRV.
