His first book-length excretion was published in the 1980s, called <i>The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS</i>. While Fumento does not <a href="/wiki/AIDS_denial" class="mw-redirect" title="AIDS denial">deny the existence of AIDS</a>, he merely claims that the <a href="/wiki/AIDS" class="mw-redirect" title="AIDS">AIDS</a> <a href="/wiki/Epidemic" class="mw-redirect" title="Epidemic">epidemic</a> is minimal and therefore requires no action.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[note 1]</a></sup> He has also denied any risk from <a href="/wiki/DDT" title="DDT">DDT</a>, <a href="/wiki/Global_warming" class="mw-redirect" title="Global warming">global warming</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tobacco" class="mw-redirect" title="Tobacco">second-hand smoke</a>, SARS, <a href="/wiki/Swine_flu" title="Swine flu">swine flu</a>, and the possibility of an avian flu pandemic. More recently, Fumento has also hopped on the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_denialism" title="COVID-19 denialism">COVID-19 denialism</a> bandwagon, dismissing social distancing and other measures as "mass hysteria" and calling Dr. Anthony Fauci and Robert Redfield "Horsemen of the Apocalypse".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[1]</a></sup> </p><p>Scripps-Howard dropped him from syndication in 2006 after it was discovered that <a href="/wiki/Monsanto" title="Monsanto">Monsanto</a> had dumped a boatload of cash into the Hudson Institute, where Fumento was employed while he wrote numerous biotech columns and <i>BioEvolution</i>, essentially a book-length advertisement for Monsanto.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[2]</a></sup> It was no surprise, either, when it was discovered that he was being bankrolled by Philip Morris as well through <a href="/wiki/Sound_science" title="Sound science">The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC)</a>.
