Charles Ortleb is an American author, self-publisher, AIDS denialism author and HIV conspiracy theorist,[1] Onetime Editor-in-Chief of That New Magazine, Inc (TNM) publisher of Christopher Street (magazine), The New York Native, CityWeek, Night & Day Entertainment Guide, Opera Monthly and TheaterWeek.
Biography[edit]
Ortleb, along with author and journalist for The New York Native, Neenyah Ostrom published the now defunct Stonewall Press,[2] the successor publication to The New York Native.
Under the direction of Ortleb, Neenyah Ostrom,[4] Managing Editor started writing articles in The New York Native, during the late 1980s and 1990s, stating things such as HIV was not the cause of AIDS but rather HHV-6 (Human herpesvirus 6) and later African swine fever virus (ASFV), both are long disproved claims.[5]
Many of Ostrom's research and claims were based heavily on the work of molecular biologist Peter Duesberg (whose theories are now disproved) and a South African physician named Joseph Sonnabend, who, in the early 2000s changed his views on HIV/AIDS.
Ortleb still hosts podcasts[6] and went on to publish books such as Fauci: The Bernie Madoff of Science and the HIV Ponzi Scheme that Concealed the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic and Fauci versus Duesberg: The battle about AIDS that brought Chronic Fatigue Syndrome out of the closet, published in 2020.
Ortleb[7] has co-authored books with Judy Mikovits,[8] a former research scientist, anti-vaccination activist and medical conspiracy theorist, claiming that long-term COVID-19 is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. That book has since been banned along with her coronavirus conspiracy video ‘Plandemic.'
Ortleb's books are read and circulated by QAnon.[9]
In conclusion, Andrew Sullivan, in his article entitled The AIDS Fight: Andrew Sullivan on a History of the Movement summed it up best when he wrote: "Charles Ortleb was the visionary editor of New York Native, a small magazine that for a long time was the only real source for news and information about the epidemic. The book charts his descent into conspiracy theories about African swine fever."[10]
Personal life[edit]
Ortleb is domestic partners with Francis Sweeney, the publisher of Rubicon Media.[13]
