      Wow. Mikovits has been antivax basically since her legitimate scientific career ended in disgrace and criminal activity. But this is still shocking.https://twitter.com/crackedscience/status/1264551806358753281 …

      The now infamous Judy Mikovits (of Plandemic) is about to speak at the AutismOne conference on the topic of HPV. That promises....

      This is not news to those of us who’ve followed the antivaccine movement a long time. She was on the antivax circuit in 2009, even BEFORE her legitimate scientific career came to an end.

      Interesting. I thought she was pushed into the antivax world bc of her failed career (like so many quacks). Will need to dig up some of the old SBM posts

      My guess is that her descent into XMRV pseudoscience was a manifestation of her becoming a conspiracy theorist and that her antivax views were yet another manifestation of that process occurring around the same time.

      Another possibility is that, before it al came crashing down, Mikovits was invited to speak about XMRV at antivax conferences like Autism One and imbibed antivax ideology there.

          OTOH, by then she was already starting to say that vaccines were contaminated with XMRV and other endogenous retroviruses, which, she claimed, were causing autism and a host of other medical conditions.

          It doesn't escape me that someone who blames viruses for multiple illnesses has been embraced by some people who deny that viruses cause illness at all.

          Perhaps, but she was already clearly inclined in that direction, as this interview from October 2009 (soon after her XMRV paper was published in Science) clearly shows. She speculated that vaccines activate ERVs in lymphocytes, thus causing autism. https://web.archive.org/web/20091014153804/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby/is-autism-associated-with_b_316986.html …
