AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The first publisher to cover the AIDS epidemic talks to the first journalist to break the story of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic in Rolling Stone. Charles Ortleb, the publisher of New York Native and author of Truth to Power talks to Hillary Johnson, the author of Osler’s Web: Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic. They discuss the politics and science of an out-of-control contagious epidemic that the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health have been hiding from the public for three decades. Hillary Johnson’s up-to-the-minute coverage of what is now referred to as “myalgic encephalomyelitis” is at www.oslersweb.com. All of Charles Ortleb’s books on the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome connection can be found at www.charlesortleb.com
