OF THE
TIMES
While she was in jail, Judy's former boss told her husband and Dr. Ruscetti that if she just signed an apology admitting her paper was wrong, the police would release her from confinement and she could salvage her science career. Judy refused. No prosecutor has ever filed charges against her, but the pharmaceutical cartel and its captive scientific journals launched a campaign of vilification against her. Less than two years earlier, the journal Science had celebrated her. Now, the same journal published her mug shot and retracted her paper.Although it's hearsay, it's still quite telling that Mitkovits' boss would say this. Since when, in the United States, is someone held hostage in jail until they retract a scientific paper? Does this sound like the land of the free, a country that prides itself on its freedom of speech?
But the fight against the epidemic does not end. The danger persists, even in areas where the situation is relatively safe.The non-working period was announced in Russia in late March and has been extended several times since then.
