Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Robert Baratz came to Cincinnati to give a press conference about his active complaint against the medical license of Dr. Victoria Wulsin, a Democratic candidate in Ohio’s second congressional district.  “I am not registered with a political party, nor am I here to engage in partisan politics, or to support a particular candidate,” said Baratz.  “I am here to bear witness for the ethical practice of medicine.  I am here to bear witness for the cause of science and the truth.”

"The atrocious Nazi medical experiments of World War II and those of Tuskegee produced information that was forever poisoned by the methods under which that information was obtained,” explained Baratz.  “Any so-called malaria therapy (immunotherapy) experiments which relate to the Heimlich Institute or its founder are equally reprehensible.”

“Malaria is no picnic,” said Baratz.  “When you have malaria you are very sick.  These HIV-infected individuals were allowed to have a minimum of 10 cycles of recurrent fevers over several weeks before they were offered treatment for the malaria.  Most had bed-shaking rigors.”

“This is not the stuff of science,” continued Baratz.  “It is for this reason I am here to condemn it, and to speak out against those who would thrust their wills upon desperate and innocent victims of cancer, Lyme disease, and now HIV to try to validate their invalid ideas, methods, and pronouncements.  I equally include their collaborators, apologists, spokespersons, those who seek to profit from the misery of others for their own gain, those who covered their eyes to all of this, and those who deluded themselves into thinking they were anything less than monsters.”

Baratz concluded with comments about Victoria Wulsin’s role in these atrocious human experiments.  “Dr. Wulsin has said she got involved with the Heimlich Institute more than 10 years after the New York Times and the Cincinnati Enquirer exposed this whole mess,” he said.  “I am stunned that a doctor trained in public health would cover and obfuscate any such activity.”

“First there were statements that this was only a literature review,” explained Baratz.  “But what about the raw data analyzed in the Wulsin Report showing that humans were used as guinea pigs?”

“It is perplexing that Dr. Wulsin did not immediately report the Heimlich Institute to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office for Human Research Protection,” said Baratz.  “Was Dr. Wulsin unaware of the wealth of stories detailing the sordid facts about the malaria therapy experiments in major, respected media?  Somehow these are missing from her report.”
