A review by meganac
Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science by Kent Heckenlively, Judy Mikovits

4.0

*I received a free galley of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

I dislike being one of the first to review a book, but here goes.

I wanted to rate this five stars due to the amount of research & data within, but unfortunately it is written in a way that makes little sense. These are scientists, not writers, so I'm not all that put off by it, but it could have benefitted from an editor to organize the timeline and data so that it didn't jump all over the place in a way that was difficult to follow. Be prepared to be confused by the authors' way of hopping back and forth in time and subject. My other quibble with this book is the way Dr. Mikovitz sometimes made comments about other scientists or systems that came off as childish and petty. I understand that she's been wronged, but I didn't see these comments as necessary. Give me the data and let me make my own conclusions, thank you.

That aside, this book is full of science that will blow your mind. Dr. Mikovitz has done her homework and I liked how she doesn't just through a study at you and expect you to decipher it on your own, but gives you the excerpt and then restates it in plain terms that are easier to understand. Her story is one that will confound and anger you simply because of the injustice. I came into it already aware that there is corruption between our healthcare and our government, so I wasn't surprised, but the average person reading this with an open mind will be shocked.

I do want to add that to those of you who will discount her testimony simply because she includes information of vaccines that contradicts the mainstream narrative, please ask yourself what she could have to gain. She's lost everything because of what she speaks out about. She wouldn't have if she hadn't strayed from the narrative. What could compel a scientist to risk everything with no gain?

Definitely worth the read.
