Viki Winterton interviews Kent Heckenlively! 

Kent Heckenlively is a science teacher, attorney, and founding contributing editor of Age of Autism. The father of a daughter stricken with autism after her childhood vaccinations, Heckenlively has applied his exacting skills to explore the connect between childhood vaccines and autism in two books—the just-released Inoculated: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism and PLAGUE: One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases.

PLAGUE was co-authored with Dr. Judy Mikovits, a 20-year government scientist and former head of the Lab of Anti-Viral Drug Mechanisms at the National Cancer Institute. The book quickly became one of the best-selling virus books of the last 30 years and has garnered extensive praise from the patient community and leading physicians.

Inoculated initially reads like a mystery thriller, a lone whistleblower, akin to All the President’s Men’s Deep Throat, spills the government’s secrets. But like the film Contagion, what’s at risk is the health of millions! From that compelling beginning, Heckenlively goes on to chronicle in detail how the Centers for Disease Control deliberately chose to inaccurately report test results that showed a distinct correlation between the vaccine and increased autism statistics and a lack of courage by those who could have spoken up in the early 2000s when indicators began to surface, but instead stayed silent or deliberately perverted the truth—choices that have resulted in an entire generation of autism disabled children—and a fast-rising tide of more.
