About the Book
"Farber [is] a lucid and courageous witness to the power-play behind the first 'scamdemic, ' . . . [Her] work is journalism at its best--solid, lucid, and humane, attacking wrongs that few dare touch, and thereby helping right them."
--Mark Crispin Miller, bestselling author and professor of media studies at NYU
On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared, "The probable cause of AIDS has been found." By the next day, "probable" had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as "the AIDS virus."
Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS. She reported on the "evidence" that was being continually cited and repeated by health officials and the press, the deadliness of AZT, and Dr. Fauci's trials on children, infants, and pregnant mothers. Throughout, Faber's reportage was largely ignored. She was maligned, maliciously attacked, and ultimately canceled.
Now, forty years after her original reporting, Farber's Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS is reissued with a new foreword by Mark Crispin Miller, shining much-needed light on her groundbreaking work once again. More relevant than ever, this book serves as an essential foundation to understanding its catastrophic sequel: COVID-19. Serious Adverse Events makes clear that the tactics employed at the height of HIV/AIDS--the fearmongering, cancel culture, and "woke" takeover of science, medicine, and journalism--persist today. The response to COVID-19 isn't new: it is a well-trod and dangerous path in the social landscape.
"Groundbreaking work."--Bob Guccione, Jr., founder of SPIN magazine
"Farber's research give context to the Covid catastrophe which she all but predicted. Despite the medical cartel's brutal crusade to silence and vilify her, Farber never compromised. . . I'm happy she has lived to experience her own utter vindication. I also love her writing style."--Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Review :
"Celia Farber isn't just any journalist. Farber is unique, one who is, I believe, gifted by God with an entirely novel mettle.
I first contacted her in 1997 as an untenured nurse academic starting my doctoral research on HIV/AIDS. As an openly gay man I'd also worked in self-help services and seen first-hand the destructive imposition of AIDS ideology on the human psyche. After reading her 'Words from the Front' columns published in SPIN magazine, I was naturally drawn to Farber, both personally and professionally. Farber's investigative journalism consistently revealed what many of us across the health sciences and community services already sensed was highly sinister about HIV/AIDS 'science' but lacked Farber's keen instinct to articulate. Farber uniquely exposed the disabling psychological impacts and the corrupt essence of the HIV/AIDS medical-industrial complex via her total immersion in both its science and politics.
We now see how Farber's HIV/AIDS work, originally brought together in 2006 in the first publication of Serious Adverse Events, taught us something crucial to the Covid Plandemic: HIV/AIDS was not an isolated case of science 'gone wrong.' It laid the foundation for the totalitarian mindset emanating like a Biblical evil from the allopathic industrial complex. Its perverse ideology has corrupted compassionate health care while continuing to fatally misdirect many well-intentioned clinicians.
I highly recommend this republication of Serious Adverse Events to a new generation of readers so they too can become familiar with the important work of Celia Farber."--Kevin Corbett, PhD
"Celia Farber gives us journalism as it was before its untimely demise, digging deep, bravely taking on the most glorified sacred cows of our time. Remember when there were at least two sides to every story? Celia lives that truth and takes us along on her journey."--Gavin de Becker, author of The Gift of Fear; security specialist
"Celia Farber is the most insightful and authoritative investigative journalist on the subject of AIDS. No one has better documented the real story behind this phenomenon: the tragic human toll and the collateral damage exacted by a greedy, unethical, and vengeful medical and activist mafia cartel. Until they came after me, under Anthony Fauci's silent order, I would never have believed it. The global AIDS apparatus is driven by lies, violence, and a perversion of the good."--Jonathan Fishbein, MD, NIAID and DAIDS federal whistleblower
"I was astonished to discover Celia Farber's work on the lost history of AIDS, including her extraordinarily troubling investigation of Dr. Fauci's murderous experiments on children. Farber's research gives context to the Covid catastrophe, which she all but predicted. Despite the medical cartel's brutal crusade to silence and vilify her, Farber never compromised. I have found no missteps in her analysis, and I'm happy she has lived to experience her own utter vindication. I also love her writing style."--Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"If you want to understand the real history of AIDS and why it mattered, Celia Farber is the main journalist who bore witness to it all, and took the blows accordingly. Her book is essential reading."--Vera Sharav, Holocaust survivor, founder of AHRP (Association of Human Research Protections)
"When you read this book--and you must--you venture into the world of a major writer, Celia Farber, and you meet mysteries you've never encountered before. The facts themselves are clear and undeniable, but what Celia does with them brings you to another planet, which is Earth as it should be. Where the truth is not only seen but felt. That's the mystery. That's what a great writer can do. You're there. You're walking beside her, and you wonder how you could have avoided this place for so long. When this is the place you've wanted to be."--Jon Rappoport, author of The Matrix Revealed; editor, NoMoreFakeNews.com
