When Wikipedia describes someone in these sorts of blanket negative terms...

"Judy Anne Mikovits is an American anti-vaccination activist, conspiracy theorist and discredited ex-medical researcher. She has made discredited claims about vaccines, coronavirus, and chronic fatigue syndrome. [Wikipedia]"
... one has to wonder at the over-egging of the pudding? Mikovits has stated for the record that she's *not* anti-vaccination, for example.
From write-up of her newly-published book: Previous Message
“Judy Mikovits is among her generation’s most accomplished scientists.” ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Dr Mikovits joined NIH in 1980 as a Postdoctoral Scholar in Molecular Virology at the National Cancer Institute and began a 20-year collaboration with Frank Ruscetti, a pioneer in the field of human retro virology.
She helped Dr Russetti isolate the HIV virus and link it to AIDS in 1983.
Her NIH boss Anthony Fauci delayed publication of that critical paper for 6 months to let his protégé Robert Gallo replicate, publish and claim credit.
The delay in mass HIV testing let AIDS further spread around the globe and helped Fauci win promotion to director NIAID.
