His finding led to an immediate outcry from the governor, local and state politicians, and the city''s commercial interests. In the hyper-sensationalized journalism of San Francisco''s newspapers, Kinyoun was ridiculed, leading to death threats and a $50,000 bounty on his head. Eventually, California''s quarantine caused an enormous uproar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    By the time a special federal commission produced a report (initially withheld from the public, leading to charges of a coverup) that vindicated Kinyoun, a deal had been brokered  wherein the pioneering doctor was removed from his post.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This book tells a timely story about yellow journalism, coverup, corruption, the struggle between science and politics, and the consequences of blind denial of the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\tvi\u003cbr\u003eForeword by David M.
