About
Kent Heckenlively is an attorney, science teacher, and two-time New York Times bestselling author. He is best known as coauthor of the PLAGUE series (PLAGUE, PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION, & ENDING PLAGUE) with Dr. Judy Mikovits and Dr. Francis Ruscetti, winner of the Distinguished Service Medal from the National Institutes of Health. His book, PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION reached #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list in June of 2020, has sold more than 200,000 copies to date, and is being turned into a documentary narrated by Liam Neeson.
Prior to the removal of James O’Keefe from Project Veritas, Kent coauthored four books with Project Veritas whistleblowers. These books include GOOGLE LEAKS with Zach Vorhies, BEHIND THE MASK OF FACEBOOK with Ryan Hartwig, THIS WAS CNN with Cary Poarch, and THE DIVERSITY CON with David Johnson. Kent continues to support the work of James O’Keefe at his new journalistic entity, O’Keefe Media Group (OMG).
Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wrote the Foreword to PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION and Kent is honored that three of his other books, INOCULATED, ENDING PLAGUE, and BEHIND THE MASK OF FACEBOOK, have also been published under Kennedy's Children's Health Defense imprint at Skyhorse Publishing.
In 2017, Kent received the dubious honor of being the first American writer banned by an entire continent, as Australia banned him from delivering a lecture series based on the findings in his book, INNOCULATED: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism. On May 17, 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 hysteria, Chuck Todd of Meet the Press devoted an entire five-minute segment to denouncing his book, PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION, without even mentioning the name of the book or the authors. In June of 2020, his fourth book with Dr. Judy Mikvoits, THE TRUTH ABOUT MASKS, was de-listed by Amazon, and had to be published under a different title, as well as a different cover. On June 21, 2024, Congressman Jim Jordan, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, released a list of 43 books which had been censored or shadow-banned by Amazon at the specific request of the Biden administration. Two of Kent’s books were on that list.
His most recent book, TWILIGHT OF THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT, coauthored with former 17-year CIA officer and whistleblower, Kevin Shipp, reached #6 on Amazon of all books, after Shipp was interviewed twice by Candace Owens.
With more than 15,000 Amazon reviews, a 4.7 average ranking out of 5.0 stars, more than 750,000 of his books in print, critical praise from Kirkus Reviews, including a highly coveted, “Kirkus preferred review” for his book on interferon, as well as his books being translated into ten languages, Kent is quickly becoming the country’s most fearless writer on the corruption of our institutions.
