Biden Administration Censored Two Of My Books On Vaccines

When I saw a recent post from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, reading, "In response to a subpoena from @Judiciary GOP, @Amazon revealed the 43 book titles it censored because of the Biden White House's pressure," I clicked the link out of curiosity.
Imagine my surprise when I found two of my books on the list: Plague: One Scientist's Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases, as well as Inoculated: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism. What was even more startling was that they'd twice listed Plague — for the original 2014 hardcover and the 2017 paperback.
They must really hate that book.
As Jordan tweeted, "Whether you love or hate the books on this list, no bookstore should be censoring books because of government power."
One of the wild things about their censorship of that thick, 417-page book is that it takes the position that many chronic diseases are the result of immune exhaustion due to long-term, low-level viral infection of a recently discovered retrovirus, known as XMRV. The book was not an anti-virus book and had in fact been authored with a 20-year government scientist, Dr. Judy Mikovits, known for her work in virology. The book was abundantly sourced with hundreds of footnotes.
Viruses Leaping to Humans
But what most likely raised the ire of the Biden administration was our assertion that XMRV, a mouse virus that had recently jumped into the human population, had most likely made the leap because of the use of mouse biological tissue in the production of many human vaccines.
We theorized that the common use of animal tissue to grow human vaccines was fueling a process called zoonosis, in which animal viruses adapted to and infected human beings, which has historically led to humanity's most devastating plagues.
Perhaps it was because of our deep understanding of one plague, Covid-19, that the Biden administration feared the questions Dr. Mikovits and I were asking from the beginning of the Covid crisis. We were challenging the government's implausible tale of a bat virus that quickly adapted to humans, an event highly unlikely to happen in nature.
Vaccine Linked to Autism?
The second of my books on the list, Inoculated: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism, ran 376 pages, with hundreds of footnotes, and is based on whistleblower documents I received from the office of Rep. William Posey, R-Fla. The whistleblower was a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) vaccine scientist, Dr. William Thompson, and he alleged that the CDC's own study had shown that earlier administration of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was correlated with an increased risk of autism, particularly among black boys. If true, the number of black males harmed by the MMR shot dwarfed the terrible toll of the Tuskegee experiment, which ran from 1932 to 1972, in which black men with syphilis were left untreated by the CDC to study the progression of the disease.
The most dramatic assertion in Thompson's account is that CDC scientists manipulated the numbers to hide the catastrophic damage being done to black boys. Originally, there had been approximately 210 black boys in the study, but about 90 of them were removed because they did not have a Georgia birth certificate, an amendment to the original study design. This allowed the scientists to claim that while there was an increase in autism among black boys from earlier administration of the MMR shot, it did not rise to the level of clinical significance.
It's no coincidence that nearly all of the books on the Biden censorship list are about vaccines, and their authors have much experience studying how medicine has been corrupted over the decades. Many of us were among the first to publicly voice skepticism regarding the Covid madness.
Books Seek the Truth
After discovering my book was part of Biden's ban, I felt deeply troubled for several hours.
It brought to mind events from my childhood, when the FBI spied on and infiltrated anti-war and civil rights groups, maneuvering them toward radicalism and violence, or when Nixon had an enemies list of journalists.
To me, books are holy, the purest distillation of the author's thoughts, and I believe they give us the basis on which to make our best arguments as we search for the truth. I view books as the opening gambit of a public conversation, which is why the attempt to censor any book is nothing less than a declaration of tyranny.
When you see injustice in one place, it opens your eyes to injustice in other areas. I believe the genuine critic of power stands apart from politics and, given that, I do my best to be an equal-opportunity offender.
One book I co-authored that is not on the list is in many ways a criticism of the Trump administration's Covid response. Presidential Takedown: How Anthony Fauci, the CDC, NIH, and the WHO Conspired to Overthrow President Trump. That book was coauthored with Dr. Paul Alexander, President Donald Trump's senior pandemic adviser from May 2020 until September 2020, when he ran afoul of Anthony Fauci for arguing that students should have been going back to school in the fall of 2020. While Trump's instincts were correct — and more than probably any other president in recent memory, he sought out opposing views — in the end, his Covid response differed little from any likely democratic response. It was clear Trump did not like the lockdowns, but he approved them, and that is a permanent stain on his legacy.
In September, I have a book coming out that is an expose of the CIA: Twilight of the Shadow Government: How Transparency Will Kill the Deep State, coauthored with Kevin Shipp, a 17-year CIA officer and whistleblower, which details how the agency has misled both political parties for decades.
The Biden administration's censorship list is my first documented proof that I am considered an enemy by my own government. But it is unlikely to be my last. Whether that makes me a threat to democracy, or one of its fiercest defenders, I will leave to the judgment of history.

How very fascist of them.
Marx would have been proud of them. If he could only see them from hell.
It was a public emergency. The government has an obligation to protect its citizens from extreme points of view during a pandemic.
Heckenlively's books weren't banned, they just weren't pushed on Amazon. Amazon isn't the only bookstore in the US.
Heckenlively hasn't met a Project Veritas project yet that he hasn't pushed or written about. Currently he's still going after the CIA, CRT and DEI .
He's very proud of actually being a banned writer in a whole continent, even though it's only Australia. His lectures on vaccines and autism were deemed "a threat to public order"
Even though all of this happened in 2021, Heckenlively is still a best selling NYT author.
He's also an attorney, maybe he can sue the Administration all the way to SCOTUS.
And THAT is the reason for Traitor Joe's dumpster fire to play censor? Try again.
Agree. 1.2 is a total pos response. Fucking joke.
Remind me again. Who’s banning books?
Joe Biden. Threat to democracy.
And his mindless followers can't comprehend ANY of it.
Can’t expect much from useful idiots
The only thing we can expect is continued whining and denials that this "isn't happening".
Useful idiots buy into anti-vax mythology.
You mean the vaccine that doesn't prevent you from contracting the virus and allows you to pass the virus along to other people regardless of vaccinated status........that one?
The useful idiots bought into Fauci's lies.
Dr. Fauci isn't the liar.
Facts say otherwise.
Many more useful idiots bought into COVID vax lies.
Hundreds of millions of them actually.
Just about everyone mentioned in this screed is anathema to the modern world of science/medicine, I'll offer up two:
Dr. Judy Mikovits:
Dr. William Thompson:
