Henrik Ibsen wrote Enemy of the People in 1882. In this new edition from Skyhorse Publishing, Robert Kennedy Jr  lays bare how "science" (including you, Dr. Fauci) has fought so hard against iconoclasts whose work questions their ironclad conclusions. Perhaps science has always been just like the religion it was purported to supplant? The recent train derailment in E. Palestine, Ohio dovetails with Kennedy's foreword perfectly.  In 2010, Mark Blaxill wrote, "From The Roman to the Wakefield Inquisition," about Dr. Wakefield's brutal treatment by the GMC. His crime? Listening to distraught parents of autistic children and using his medical knowledge to make a hypothesis. The concept of the hypothesis has been eradicated in most circles. "A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."

Environmentalist, activist, and attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. contributes a foreword to this Skyhorse edition of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s renowned 1882 play.

Regarded as one of the foremost playwrights of the nineteenth century, Henrik Ibsen tells the story of the idealist Doctor Thomas Stockmann, the medical officer of a recently opened spa in a small town in southern Norway, who finds that the water is seriously contaminated. He notifies members of the community and initially receives support and thanks for the discovery. Threatened by the possible impact of such a revelation, his brother, the town mayor, conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story and pressure Dr. Stockmann to retract his statements.

At a public meeting, an attempt is made to keep Dr. Stockmann from speaking, but he launches into a tirade condemning the corruption of the town and the tyranny of the majority. Finding his speech offensive, he is shouted down by the masses and reviled as "an enemy of the people."

In his foreword, Kennedy alerts readers to the undeniable fact that the persecution of those who tell uncomfortable truths, which Ibsen described over one hundred years ago, continues to this day and is as relevant now as ever. We face environmental deregulation and degradation, politicians in lobbyists’ pockets, attacks on facts that are agreed upon by reputable scientists, corporate funded and controlled research, and attempts to impede and suppress whistleblowers. The battle continues and Kennedy joins Ibsen on the front lines.
