The Hidden Epidemic - E-book - ePub

In a chilling tale of greed and corruption, billionaire Maxwell Grant creates a genetically engineered mosquito-borne virus designed to decimate Black communities across the United States. The virus, a deadly fusion of Ebola and other lethal strains, spreads rapidly, overwhelming hospitals and causing widespread panic. Enter Dr. Jamal Carter, a brilliant Black biologist from Tacoma, Washington, renowned for his work on infectious diseases.
As Dr. Carter investigates the outbreak, he discovers the virus's unsettling reaction to nicotine. His groundbreaking research reveals that nicotine patches can neutralize the virus, offering a glimmer of hope amid the chaos. Despite facing relentless opposition from Maxwell Grant, who uses his wealth and influence to discredit Dr. Carter's findings, the biologist perseveres. His research gains traction as grassroots organizations and community leaders rally to distribute nicotine patches, bypassing official channels to reach those in need.
The government, initially slow to act, eventually acknowledges the efficacy of the nicotine patches.
