The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has obviously become a global concern as a threat to the lives of people. But at this time also, a number of conspiracy theorists around the world did not refrain from sharing various different theories which can be easily discredited. Now, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is a key member of the US coronavirus task force, has been highlighted by one of his former employees, Dr. Judy Mikovits.

Why was Dr. Judy Mikovits in prison?
Dr. Judy Mikovits, who is the former employee of Dr. Athony Fauci, was arrested in 2009 for solid information in her personal email and the laptop computer of a nonprofit organization. This organization was based on the University of Nevada campus which also filed a detention against Dr. Judy Mikovits. The doctor worked at the Whittemore Peterson Institute where she developed a study that claimed that chronic fatigue syndrome was caused by a virus.
This study was then retracted because it could not be proven by the scientific community. The WP institute wished that Dr. Judy Mikovits would no longer modify the study after its rejection, but it continued to do so without the authorization of the higher authorities who sent her to prison.
