Thoughts on the Real Anthony Fauci

This is not a book review.  Book reviews need to include certain specific elements, are more formalized, and their contents or theme often compared to supporting or contradictory information or positions (I published one for the Assoc. of American Physicians & Surgeons over a decade ago, and it was a good experience).  I’ve no interest in being so rigid, and this is as much commentary on the subject as the book.

The book is The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and regular readers are invited to eyeroll and guffaw at the notion of me reading anything from that notorious family.  Oh, the irony.  Moreover, I completely and joyously embrace this confirmation bias; watching an interview with Kennedy about this book and what he had to say dovetailed nicely with what I had begun to think, and had read from other sources.

The scattered points below are all to be preceded in the reader’s mind with “Kennedy alleges…”  He has a TON of footnotes and sources that would take me the next year to read, and since I have not double-sourced any of this, I am only presenting his view.

I did learn some things.  The author notes that the “HHS in 1984 – the year that Anthony Fauci became director of NIAID – quietly pushed through an astonishing federal regulation…’Any possible doubts, whether or not well-founded, about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view of the need to assure that the vaccines will continue to be used to the maximum extent consistent with the nations ‘public health objectives.’ – Federal Register Vol. 49 No 107.” That this was entered in response to complications from the polio vaccine – which I certainly support – makes it no less chilling.

Fauci has a decades-long record of operating a pharmacological syndicate that would make Tony Soprano blush:  using a system of “principal investigators” (PhD’s or MD’s working at medical universities, or other research facilities), Fauci’s henchmen would pass a drug to various facilities for testing, letting them know which drugs needed favorable reviews.  These results would then be fast-tracked through the FDA at Fauci’s bidding, then turned over to whatever Big Pharma company, which would then cut royalty checks to the NIH and NIAID (he had maneuvered the NIAID to ultimately control NIH funding), meaning to Fauci.  He would then pass some payola downstream to his PI’s, and the cycle would repeat: “The 1980 Bayh-Dole Act allowed NIAID – and Dr. Fauci personally – to file patents on the hundreds of new drugs that his agency funded PIs were incubating, and then to license those drugs to pharmaceutical companies and collect royalties on their sales.”

Sometimes a pet drug would not fare so well, so Fauci et al would try them out on orphans, those with questionable diagnoses, or in villages in Africa in countries whose tinpot governments were paid off to ensure local cooperation, far from the regulatory clutches of the U.S.  The Potemkin Village-clinic scam they pulled on Bush ’43 as his administration self-congratulated on fighting AIDS in Africa is remarkable in its audacity, and made Fauci even more powerful.  If Kennedy’s sources are correct, Fauci’s use of experimental treatment protocols on HIV-positive orphans in the Incarnation Children’s Center, without appropriate advocates from whom to obtain informed consent, are particularly gruesome and indefensible. The last part of the book deals with Fauci’s relationship with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and how they have worked together to use the Third World to achieve their mutual ends.  “In 2021, Gates would expand on this macabre project by investing $25 million in an effort to genetically modify mosquitoes to stealthily deliver coronavirus vaccine to the vaccine hesitant.  I’m not joking.”

From his days of consorting with self-confessed thief and liar Robert Gallo in the early AIDS epidemic, Fauci never let ethics get in the way of agenda, the warble song of any effective bureaucrat.  Fauci learned from scum like this that the new “science” is based on preemptive press conferences, inserting the likely idea into the dull, lazy brains of a compliant media, then getting them to attack anyone that disagrees (This book makes a compelling case that the suppression of dissenting views by Google, Facebook, et al was the natural extension of this man controlling his own press by colluding with those of convergent aims).  He was doing this long before COVID.  Since the 1980’s, researchers who publicly questioned with Fauci were rapidly defunded by the NIH (often their biggest revenue stream), and professionally ostracized.  His takedown of internationally renowned virologist Peter Duesberg for questioning his conclusions over the HIV virus mechanism of action is remarkable.  

In 1987 Fauci refused to allow the NIAID to even give a statement in support of using Bactrim as a PCP prophylaxis without “randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial results.”  He had no more financial stake in a generic antibiotic than he would have in generic anti-malarials or anti-parasitics a generation later.  Most of Fauci’s “reviewers” were PI’s who also had a financial stake in the drug Fauci was recommending to fight the virus, AZT.  Despite AZT (originally an anti-leukemia drug) being determined in the 1960’s to be too dangerous for human use, Fauci pushed it the way he would push the utterly ineffective Remdesivir a generation later, the latter in which he also held a financial stake (It is worth noting that under political pressure, Fauci instituted a study of hydroxychloroquine:  “Instead of using the standard treatment dose of 400 mg/day, the 17 WHO studies administered a borderline lethal daily dose starting with 2,400 mg on Day 1, and using 800 mg /day thereafter” in conjunction with a team from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation…)  In African studies, a favorite tactic was to suspend the placebo group, arguing that it was unethical to withhold treatment.  This move cemented the efficacy of said treatment in the eyes of bureaucrats and media, and made it impossible to ascribe adverse effects to the medicine in question.  When regulators belatedly showed up at the site for one large study in Africa, they were told that the logs of placebo vs treatment arms were simply … lost. 

These scattered examples do not do justice to the well-developed narrative that leaves one with growing anger toward Fauci and his kind, and the dread of those powers he has been able to manipulate for his own profit and ego.    As previously stated, I have only offered Kennedy’s views and allegations.  If someone has a favorable view of Fauci, I hope they will come on this site to offer another point of view.

After reading And The Band Played On, by Randy Shilts in 1988, I learned that Fauci was a shameless camera whore and a not-very nice guy.  After reading The Real Anthony Fauci, I believe that if a fraction of Kennedy’s allegations BEFORE COVID are true, that (1) this is a monster who should be serving consecutive life sentences for mass negligent homicide, or (2) if Fauci has any integrity, he should sue Kennedy for liable and take everything he’s got.

The claims in this book are so damning that there can be no middle ground.
