 Adam Feuerstein, a journalist for "The Street", has published articles harshly critical of Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc. for over half a decade.In June 2009, Feuerstein alleged the company was "seeking to divert investors' attention away from the delayed approval of Ampligen as a treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome" by issuing three press releases in seven days about research from 2007 into possible applications for Ampligen as a flu vaccine booster, in which Hemispherx stated that Ampligen could be used against the H1N1 swine flu.This article also alleged the press releases were misleading, because they implied the research had been done in 2009.
