Dr. David B. Agus is one of the world’s leading doctors and pioneering biomedical researchers. He is the founding director and CEO of the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine and a professor of medicine and engineering at the University of Southern California. A medical oncologist, Dr. Agus leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers dedicated to the development and use of technologies to guide doctors in making health-care decisions tailored to individual needs. An international leader in global health and approaches for personalized healthcare, Dr. Agus serves in leadership roles at the World Economic Forum and is co-chair of the Global Health Security Consortium. He is also a CBS News contributor.

He’s got all those boxes ticked, plus the celebrity connections, thanks to both his surgery practice and the CBS gig.

The publication of a new book by Dr. David Agus, the media-friendly USC oncologist who leads the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine, was shaping up to be a high-profile event.

Agus promoted “The Book of Animal Secrets: Nature’s Lessons for a Long and Happy Life” with appearances on CBS News, where he serves as a medical contributor, and “The Howard Stern Show,” where he is a frequent guest. Entrepreneur Arianna Huffington hosted a dinner party at her home in his honor. The title hit No. 1 on Amazon’s list of top-selling books about animals a week before its March 7 publication.

Everyone was looking forward to this latest release. Until the brakes came screaming on.

Why, my goodness, said the LA Times. That new book of “yours”? We’ve found 95 different examples of things other people wrote in it.

We found 95 instances of plagiarism in a USC scientist’s new book. Sales have been suspended

Let’s see! He is a liar. He is a cheat. He is a phony.

That makes him the perfect Democrat/Communist. What is the problem?
