I recently raised the question as to the possible falsification, fabrication and plagiarism in the works of the doctors Mikovits, Ruscetti and Lombardi.
There is one area that remains elusive for me so far: What role played Dr. Lombardi in this?
He has (supposedly) written the 2009 study ("Lombardi 2009") – but as we have seen already, the content from the WPI (the nested PCR) in this study is minimal.
There are some differences as who at the WPI has initiated the contact to Dr. Silverman, and who has requested the XMRV VP62 plasmid. At least it seems like it was Dr. Lombardi who had the contact to Dr. Silverman (through his prior work on RNASEL) – and not Dr. Mikovits.
But it seems like Dr. Mikovits has received the VP62 plasmid – and not Dr. Lombardi. The Addendum, with its infamous table 4, was written by Dr. Mikovits – and not Dr. Lombardi. The WPI research lab was run at that time by Dr. Mikovits – and not Dr. Lombardi.
From what I have seen, all the defenders of Judy Mikovits think that Silverman and Lombardi are the culprits. Silverman supposedly contaminated his samples, but we have already seen that Silverman was not involved in the sequences submitted by the WPI.
So what was Dr. Lombardi's role in this affair? Silent (and stupid?) bystander? Silent (and knowing) bystander? Active accomplice? Or might he have been the one contaminating the patient samples with VP62 and fooling everyone?
If there is evidence to the role of Lombardi in this affair, please point me to it!
