I should probably point out for the sake of the general audience that although my comment above does indeed contain some humor (or at least my attempt at it), my point that Judy Mikovits discusses in a video interview that she was the recipient of a last-author smear was completely serious (although I can’t seem to put my hands on the source video at the moment…Judy has a LOT of interview videos!) If someone else recognizes this and could supply a web link, that would be great. The other thing I recall from this particular video is that her lawyer pops in for a second and attests to the fact that no formal charges were ever levied against her when she was arrested and jailed by the FBI for… well…apparently nothing. Also, I was being completely serious in my description of the last-author position in the context of academic/scientific career progression. And just one more thing. I have three comments here in succession. All three address very serious topics, but in different manners with different literary tones. So to avoid any misunderstandings: - The "this is one brave professor" comment is just straightforward "reporting". No sarcasm, not even in the final question (which is a very sad commentary on the current state of affairs…). - I’ve already explained in this sub-comment that the "last-author" smear tactic comment is a mix of fact and humor. - The "MSM Universal Translator" comment is…well…I’ll leave that one for the individual reader to figure out. A few hints. 1) please read the whole comment and 2) the definitive key to determining the tone of the comment is the final emoji.
