Remember the scene in Oliver Stone’s JFK with Joe Pesci and all those lab mice? There’s a story behind it most people have never heard.
In the early ’60s, a 19-year-old science student named Judyth Vary Baker did something in a little high school lab that professional researchers hadn’t been able to do.
The papers picked it up.
Then the big shots came to visit. They wanted to know how a teenager had pulled it off.
What happened next is in two books: Dr. Mary’s Monkey by Edward Haslam, and her own memoir, Me & Lee.
As in Lee Harvey Oswald.
Dr. Tent tells the whole story in his Autoimmune Lecture. In his words: “The story that could have leaked out made this one look like nothing.”
Watch the clip, then catch the full lecture at the link in the first comment.
