Herman Hugh Fudenberg (October 24, 1928 – March 15, 2014) was an American clinical immunologist and the sole identified member of the Neuro Immuno Therapeutics Research Foundation (NITRF).
[4] Fudenberg was hired by the Special Projects Unit of the Council for Tobacco Research in 1972, to study whether some people are genetically predisposed to emphysema.
[5] He trained from 1954 to 1956 under William Dameshek, former editor of Blood and completed a residency at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital from 1956 to 1958.
Furthermore, one study found that past exposure to influenza vaccines is associated with lower risk for Alzheimer's disease.
The Casewatch website states: "the South Carolina medical board found Fudenberg "guilty of engaging in dishonorable, unethical, or unprofessional conduct," fined him $10,000, ordered him to surrender his license to prescribe controlled substances (narcotic drugs), and placed his license on indefinite suspension.
"[19] The board found that:The Respondent admitted that he has on numerous occasions obtained controlled substances and legend drugs, namely, prosom, ambien, lasix, and potassium from a member of his office staff and others, and that he has unlawfully obtained these controlled substances for his own use, and has, in fact, used these medications.
[19] In an interview with The Post and Courier, Fudenberg contended that "alcohol and opiate charges are completely false" and tried to attribute many of the problems to a former staff member at NITRF.
