She’s not anti vax. She actually worked under Dr Fauci during the AIDS research. A molecular biologist.
 
In 1980, Mikovits was awarded a Bachelor of Sciencedegree in Chemistry with a specialization in biology at the University of Virginia. After graduation, she went to the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, where she developed purification methods for Interferon alpha. In 1986–1987, she started working at Upjohn Pharmaceuticals in Kalamazoo, Michigan, working to develop production methods to ensure biological materials manufactured using human blood products were free of contamination from HIV-1. In 1992 she completed a joint PhD program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at George Washington University.[11] Her PhD thesis was titled "Negative Regulation of HIV Expression in Monocytes."Mikovits was a postdoctoral scholar in molecular virology at the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute, under Dr. David Derse.
 
Okay, I’ll unpack the snopes fact check more a bit later, but I already found a major inconsistency on their first link.

http://retractionwatch.com/2012/06/...yres-author-andrulis-publishes-another-paper/

First, the charges link was on a suspended account, which seems suspicious, but then again it’s snopes. I tried searching around and found another link here:
http://retractionwatch.com/2011/11/19/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-researcher-judy-mikovits-arrested/

So she was arrested on a process crime by another State:
The Ventura County, California Sheriff’s Department web site lists Mikovits under booking number 1259336, charged with a felony violation of California Penal Code section 1551.1, “Fugitive From Justice.” This is that section, according to FindLaw:

The arrest of a person may also be lawfully made by any peace officer, without a warrant, upon reasonable information that the accused stands charged in the courts of any other state with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, or that the person has been convicted of a crime punishable in the state of conviction by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year and thereafter escaped from confinement or violated the terms of his or her bail, probation or parole. When so arrested the accused shall be taken before a magistrate with all practicable speed and complaint shall be made against him or her under oath setting forth the ground for the arrest as in Section 1551.
Then later sued by the company she worked for, but that company dropped the charges. Why?
The arrest seems linked to a lawsuit. On November 14, ScienceInsider reported that the Whittemore had sued Mikovits:

A little more than 1 month after firing Mikovits, the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease (WPI) on 4 November filed suit against its former research director. According to WPI, after Mikovits was terminated on 29 September, she wrongfully removed laboratory notebooks and kept other proprietary information on her laptop and in flash drives and in a personal e-mail account. WPI, a nonprofit organization that’s based on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, also won a temporary restraining order that forbids Mikovits from “destroying, deleting, or altering” any of the related files or data.

Mikovits attorney, Lois Hart, said her client cannot speak to the media about the case, but she strongly denies any wrongdoing. In an e-mail to ScienceInsider, Hart stressed that “Dr. Mikovits’ integrity goes to the bone.”

The Ventura arrest lists a hearing on Tuesday, November 22, at 1:30 p.m., which is the same time the Washoe County Courts have a hearing scheduled in Whittemore’s case. The Osler’s Web blog reports that a clerk told them Mikovits was arrested on an “out of county warrant” from Washoe County.

I’ll look into the rest when I’m on a computer.
 
Show me in that video where she’s wrong?

Ummm the whole video.

It’s all conspiracy theory by some lady with an axe to grind with Fauci.

The fact I have to explain that to you is pretty silly.

This shit is going around on my social media and people are believing this shit. But then again the right loves kooky conspiracy theories to hold onto. Always looking for someone to blame.

I don’t accept that answer. At least @SlyPokerDog provided a snopes link. I’ll be fact checking snopes, because they aren’t a reputable fact checker. If information given to me is logical, I will change my position. Nothing has been presented so far has changed my mind.
 
she says that. But then keeps reiterating that vaxx is evil.
Being anti-flu vaccine isn’t anti-vax. That’s like saying, “Because you are anti Hydroxychloroquine, you are anti-medicine.” That’s a complete straw man.

Immune therapy uses vaccines. The measles vaccine is a form of immune therapy.
 
Shit, it looks like this fact check has nothing to do with her claims regarding the vaccine. It's only a fact check that she wasn't jailed because she refused to discredit research.

Do you have anything else because this isn't a fact check on her claims.

EDIT: Nevermind.. The fact check is misleading. They are inserting other links regarding the claims. I'll start my research
 
Okay, the snopes, "fact check" that she was arrested because of her report is false, just as they claimed. She was arrested for a process crime regarding a lawsuit in another state, later that case was dropped.

It also seems the study: Detection of an Infectious Retrovirus, XMRV, in Blood Cells of Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, has been debunked by science:
"Science is fully retracting the report “detection of an infectious retrovirus, XMRV, in blood cells of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome” (1). Multiple laboratories, including those of the original authors (2), have failed to reliably detect xenotropic murine leukemia virus–related virus (XMRV) or other murine leukemia virus (MLV )–related viruses in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients. In addition, there is evidence of poor quality control in a number of specific experiments in the Report. Figure 1, table S1, and fig. S2 have been retracted by the authors (3). In response to concerns expressed about Fig. 2C [summarized in (4)], the authors acknowledged to Science that they omitted important information from the legend of this figure panel. Specifically, they failed to indicate that the CFS patient–derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) shown in Fig. 2C had been treated with azacytidine as well as phytohemagglutinin and interleukin-2. This was in contrast to the CFS samples shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, which had not been treated with azacytidine.

Given all of these issues, Science has lost confidence in the Report and the validity of its conclusions. We note that the majority of the authors have agreed in principle to retract the Report but they have been unable to agree on the wording of their statement. It is Science's opinion that a retraction signed by all the authors is unlikely to be forthcoming. We are therefore editorially retracting the Report. We regret the time and resources that the scientific community has devoted to unsuccessful attempts to replicate these results."

Okay, thanks @SlyPokerDog for clarification.

Define “rogue doctor” for us, if you would please.

For context, Bill Gates doesn’t even have a fucking PhD and every “reputable” mainstream media outlet is trying to shove his cock down our throats. People are fawning over his uneducated, unprofessional opinions and you are worried about accredited scientists and doctors daring to have opinions different than yours.

I’d say people like Buttars guy. This nutty lady, the 2 doctors from Bakersfield all are trying to make a name for themselves. Insinuating that Fauci created the Coronavirus in an attempt to make money off it.

You can be an accredited scientist or doctor and still have an ulterior motive.

I understand with this virus it’s cool to be cutting edge and dig the conspiracy garbage. Whatever floats your boat.

The lady is anti vaxx nut with an axe to grind with Fauci. She lied to open up with how the government was throwing her in jail. She claimed to not be an anti-vaxx loon, but then at least 3 times in the corny interview stated how it’s all a plot to make money off these vaccinations.

its shit that I wouldn’t buy into if I was tripping on some good shrooms. Yet it’s flooding social media and people are buying into it

Claiming people are trying to make money off of vaccines does not necessarily make them anti-vaccine. It’s not out of the realm of possibility to think a few vaccine manufacturers may see a viral outbreak as a good way to line their pockets. Or did you think pharmaceutical companies and big medicine were not looking at profit margins? It doesn’t seem odd to you that billionaire vaccine peddler Bill Gates is out clamoring for mandatory universal distribution of a vaccine that doesn’t even exist yet? Questioning motives doesn’t make someone a crazy conspiracy theorist. After all, weren’t you the one who brought up “ulterior motives”?

He's not uneducated. He did spend time at Harvard.

Uneducated on the subject at hand. Investing in something isn’t the same as being formally educated in it. But I guess people in this country do worship wealth, so it’s not surprising their taking health advice from a computer dork.

So you're saying that experience and IQ count for nothing?

Largely the pharma industry is hoping that treatments and vaccines will improve their public image more than their bottom line. They are aware that profiting off the pandemic would be a very bad look.

Your language suggests that Gates is selling vaccines; the reality is he is spending huge amounts of his own money to buy them for people who can't afford them.

is out clamoring for mandatory universal distribution of a vaccine that doesn’t even exist yet?

Isn't pretty much everyone clamoring for that? Don't you think a coronavirus vaccine would be a good thing?

Questioning motives doesn’t make someone a crazy conspiracy theorist.

No, but questioning them in a crazy conspiratorial way might...

Not sure where you drew that conclusion from.
"Uneducated on the subject at hand. Investing in something isn’t the same as being formally educated in it." message no. 23. Did you not realize that it was you that posted that?

You’re totally twisting my words into your own statement. I won’t even entertain this claim of yours, it’s beyond ridiculous.
 
All the experience and IQ in the world doesn’t mean shit if you lack common sense.......and that is not something you learn at any college.
This and the fact that the degree doesn't mean you really paid attention to the courses...a self taught person knows how to obtain knowledge and wisdom without a professor...Henry Ford was one of those guys. When asked a question concerning his lack of education once Ford answered, " I don't know the answer to the question offhand but I can find the person who knows the answer in 2 minutes"
