  • Comment: There is only one source (The Crimson) that really covers him or his work in depth, and the tone is inappropriate in places - " is a huge anti-Faucist"; "Sadly, medical misinformation such as Ortleb's, along with Micovits', particularly the anti-Faucist, books are read"... it is essential to write in a neutral tone when writing about living persons, regardless of their views; see WP:BLP. Do not cite Reddit or Goodreads. You might find this guideline on writing about fringe topics helpful. Spicy (talk) 09:16, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Charles Ortleb is an American author, self-publisher, AIDS denialist, and HIV conspiracy theorist, 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

Ortleb, along with author and journalist for The New York Native, Neenyah Ostrom published the now defunct Stonewall Press, the successor publication to The New York Native. 

Under the direction of Ortleb, Neenyah Ostrom, 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.

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 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 has co-authored books with Judy Mikovits, 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. 

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."

Personal life

Ortleb is domestic partners with Francis Sweeney, the publisher of Rubicon Media.
